Tovolo Elements Kitchen Shears take on every cutting job at the counter, from snipping fresh herbs to breaking down a whole chicken. The stainless steel blades are strong enough for poultry joints, shellfish, and thick vegetables, yet precise enough to trim herbs without tearing them. They also cut pizza, cooking twine, and stubborn packaging. Between the handles, a built-in bottle opener doubles as a nut cracker for walnuts and other hard shells. Soft-touch handles add comfort and keep your grip secure through long prep sessions. The shears measure 8.75 by 3.25 inches. When you are finished, slide them into the included magnetic sheath, which covers the blades and clings to the refrigerator, a knife strip or any metal surface. Cleanup is easy too, because the shears are dishwasher safe.
