Kitchen scissors are great for breaking down poultry, snipping herbs, and slicing parchment paper. The multitasking tool also makes quick work of trimming fat from meat, and it can take the place of a pizza cutter, swiftly turning a pie into slices (as it's done in Rome). Plus, you can ditch the cutting board and use shears to cut canned tomatoes right in the tin, pieces of butter into flour, and floppy slices of bacon directly into a hot pan.
