Product Information

Shoppers looking for the best value will want to reach for the Vibirit herb scissors. These budget scissors come with a few accessories to handle other herb and vegetable-prepping jobs. This set includes a pair of five-blade herb scissors (with a cover and built-in cleaning comb, plus a separate cleaning brush), an herb stripper, and a vegetable peeler. Along with cost, we focused on comfort, sturdiness, ease of cleaning, whether it has a variety of holes to choose from, and whether it could also be useful in other ways when working with herbs. Having a cutting blade or measuring cup and the ability to incorporate it with another utensil or to remove the stems from large leafy greens were considered bonuses. Blade Length: Boyd recommends shears with blades at least 5–6 inches in length, because that makes them long enough for a wide variety of kitchen tasks. The answer to this question, as you can imagine, depends on how often you find yourself chopping herbs. Handle Material: Boyd recommends shears with a non-slip handle, which he says “is important for comfort and performance during tasks.”

Handle Size: It’s important to find kitchen shears that have comfortable handles. An ergonomic grip is key to kitchen safety and effective slicing and cutting. You should also consider your hand size as you peruse kitchen shears. A good pair of kitchen shears can be just as useful for cutting herbs as dedicated herb scissors if you have a smaller or more precise job to do. If you prep a lot of herbs, having both options on hand can be nice. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I recommend the Goodful Herb Scissors set. Just like a paring knife is used differently than a chef's knife, kitchen shears and scissors should be used for different tasks,” Glasier says. For example, he says he uses kitchen shears to cut rosemary stems and trim fish fins, while he uses a small pair of traditional scissors for “more precise work like cutting blossoms or other garnishes.” For that reason, we recommend having both kitchen shears and scissors while you cook. Can kitchen shears cut through bone? There are plenty of ways to use shears in the kitchen. “Kitchen shears are used for a variety of tasks, from simple cutting tasks like cutting parchment paper for baking or butcher's twine for roasting meats to cutting protein items," says Boyd. "They can cut poultry into parts, remove fish fins, and cut fish bones. You can also trim vegetables such as artichokes and cut herbs like chives or basil. For baking uses, you can trim pie dough and cut dried fruit.” The 12 Best Cutting Boards of 2023 How to Shop for Kitchen Shears Like a Pro Blade Edge and Material

Yes! Soft herbs with edible stems include parsley, cilantro, and dill. With mint and basil, you can eat the thin and soft stems closest to the leaves, but not the stalks. Stems can be chopped up along with the leaves and enjoyed in salads or pasta, for example. The edible stems can also be blended along with the leaves for pesto or other herb-based condiments and sauces. A blade cover is not totally necessary, but it is very nice to have, especially if you store your scissors in a drawer. Herbs scissors are a fun kitchen gadget designed to take much of the work out of finely chopping fresh herbs and leafy greens. No, it’s not a kitchen necessity to have special herb-cutting scissors. However, they are affordable and convenient, so they may be worthwhile if you go through a lot of herbs. Q. Will herb scissors save time in the kitchen?

Most herb scissors come with a few bonus items—just look at everything that comes with the VIBRIT herb scissors! But the two most important items to look for are a blade brush and a blade cover. Blade Brush These types of scissors are nice for small herb cutting jobs and for cutting especially delicate greens. They won’t save you much time compared to a knife, but you will get a much cleaner-looking product. 5-Blade ScissorsWhen you’ve finished preparing your herbs, the integral ‘comb’ on the end of the protective sheath makes it easy and safe to clean and store the scissors. Simply run the comb through the blades to collect any loose bits of herbs, and wash them off with water. Pop your scissors into the sheath and they’re ready to go at the next meal time. To go with scissors like that, we would recommend a new cutting board or a scissors sharpener to keep those blades nice and sharp. These Chuzy Chef multipurpose herb scissors have a lot going for them. First and foremost, the price isn't all that bad. They have a comfortable silicone handle that gives you an easy but firm grip and a lightweight design that doesn't put much of a strain on your wrist. The handle, for the most part, is nice too, comfortable and ergonomic enough. We aren't the biggest fans of a specific smell that follows it but it does go away after a wash or two, so we won't hold it against the scissors.

What is the warranty like? Scissors do a lot of work and you want to be sure the hinges will be reliable and the blades will stay sharp. A good warranty shows the manufacturer is confident in their product quality. They look like a standard pair of scissors, but they have 5 blades in total rather than 2, effectively cutting your herbs the same amount of times as 10 passes with a sharp kitchen knife.The herb stripper features eight different-size holes for stripping the leaves off herbs, plus a sharp, flat edge to use as a cutter. While the herb stripper isn’t as sharp as a knife, it can make simple chops and would also work well as a dough cutter. The peeler comes with three different blades to peel, slice, and julienne veggies, although some reviewers note that it was not too sturdy or practical. Nevertheless, these inexpensive scissors are priced comparably to other models, and the set comes with more accessories than most options on the market. Despite the peeler not being the best, this set is still a worthwhile buy, even for just the scissors and herb stripper. The model comes equipped with heavy-duty steel rivet that securely holds the 5 sharp blades together for consistent performance. For some recipes, you want to crush your fresh herbs before cooking with them to release the oils and fragrances.
