Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen Universal Kitchen Scissors
Busy cooks find kitchen shears indispensable, and this smart-looking pair from Helen's Asian Kitchen is a welcome variation on typical design. Created in collaboration with Helen Chen, daughter of Chinese food pioneer Joyce Chen, the set features professional quality blades and comfortable oversized handles. Fashioned from molybdenum vanadium stainless steel with a precise tapered shape, the blades snip through chicken bones, salmon steaks, and bunches of basil with equal ease. The handles are coated with a cheerful red comfort-grip material, while their generous shaping prevents painful pressure points. In addition to being useful in the kitchen, the scissors are also at home in the workshop and craft room. Washing by hand is recommended for best preservation of the materials.--Emily Bedard
