8 Kitchen Hacks with Kitchen Shears~Kitchen Tips~Product Share & Review~Giveaway~Noreen's Kitchen

[@d2parrotperson]

I don't know how anyone runs a kitchen without shears! I use them every single day. Cutting raw Italian sausage is a NIGHTMARE without shears! We have parrots who have perches in the kitchen and they eat supper with us every night. I have to cut up their food like they were toddlers, so spaghetti, meat, veggies, noodles, you name it. I would be LOST without a pair of shears. They look like a great pair! I use them for everything you used yours on, plus cutting up chicken for soup, or chicken & biscuits, or dumplings. Cutting chives without them? Inconceivable! Just every type of food you need to cut is perfect for shears!

[@willisdebra]

I've been cutting veggies in the can like that for years. So cool to see someone else doing the same.

[@donnaeye8781]

never thought of using them to cut pizza and didn't know they could be used to unscrew a cap from a bottle.. I use them to cut my herbs from the pot. I love the looks of them, and absolutely will be getting a pair or two. Thanks Noreen for the demo!

[@willydawgs]

Great video! I've always wondered what that part in between the handles was for! I have a very old pair of shears that I have used to cut up raw chicken, green onions, chives. pre-cooked or raw bacon, and cutting the casing off Italian sausage and snipping it into bite-sized pieces prior to cooking. Never thought about the pizza hack! Thanks!

How r u willy

[@swflchicflorida826]

I use my ✂️ for so much in my kitchen, especially cutting open bags or packages that food items come in. Some of the packaging now a days it seems like it is like Ft. Knox to get into them😊

[@denabritton4626]

I spent almost 49 years of married life using my kitchen sheers to cut everythimg EXCEPT the fabulous ideas to cut the things you showed in this video. Soooo... NOW... I'm gonna use kitchen sheers to cut my chicken, cilantro, parsley, etc. Thank you for opening my eyes to the actual uses.

[@reneewhitaker3377]

I use mine for all my salad fixings, whole pickles, cabbage, onions, boiled eggs, even cheese, love then much better than a knife, just snip, snip, lol thanks for the tips Noreen, your a sweet person . watch you alot .

[@DorothyAllen777]

The parsley and tomato hack are genius! Why didn't I think of that before???? Such a simple solution!

[@noneyanoneya8893]

Hi Noreen, yes I would use these shears to cut up the items you already mentioned but also marshmallows for pineapple delight.

[@OutSidrQQn]

My friend was over yesterday and was shocked that I didn't have a pair of kitchen shears. I'm excited to watch this hack video!

[@plhartley]

I use kitchen almost everyday for cutting veggies, pepperoni, etc. for pasta salads. Those are much nicer than what I have. Thanks for wanting to share with us.

[@jeancovert3538]

I didn't have kitchen shears for years. I didn't know how helpful they could be. I really love the ideas you showed us. Thank you

[@efbauer1264]

I always use my kitchen cheers to cut grapes off the bunch for convenient serving portions.

[@patriciaborron269]

To make "clover leaf" bread rolls, instead of fiddling with rolling small balls of dough and putting 3 or 4 in each muffin tin cup, just put a ball of dough equal to to the total of the smaller balls in and snip them twice, rotating the shears 90° between cuts.

[@pinkypattywow]

love kitchen shears but I prefer the type that come apart for easier sharpening and cleaning. loved the hacks. I have learned a lot watching your channel thanks so much!

[@Momma4Freedom]

I love them! I have used mine to cut up food for the kids when they are little. So much easier then a fork and a knife.

[@Kermitvonfrog12]

Using kitchen shears to cut frozen pie dough, flakey dough, biscuit dough and even cookie dough is so useful. But I agree, using shears to cut up our birds for roasting is the best!

[@deannacoates8934]

I use mine for everything, I watch all of your videos as soon as I get notified. Thanks for all the great info

[@kegerize728]

Thank you for this great video. I use scissors for all my herbs but never thought to put them in a cup like you did the parsley, fantastic tip.

[@krisward4510]

I cut meat, herbs,green onions, frozen bacon, and all the things you listed Great video!

[@missyd9624]

OMG! i love those shears. I need some of those. Great hacks. Thanks for sharing.I use mine for cutting pizza.

[@daniellerubio-hobbs3439]

I love my kitchen shears! I use them to chop up berries and other fruits, I also use them to cut meat off the bone, then I have a touch of meat still on the bone for soups! they also work for slicing and dicing pickles for burgers and salads if you only have whole and need slices or dices!

[@codecherry57]

I love my kitchen shears for cutting up my garden salad, meat, all kinds of leafy greens, and whatever else comes to mind....love my kitchen scissors ✂️ ❤️

[@LindasPantry]

I cannot live without mine either!!!💖💖💖

[@debramitchell4597]

Great video and great hacks need a good sharp pair mine break all the time and have to replace thanks for sharing

[@Kim-Art]

Awesome pointers/tips !!! Especially for creating diced tomatoes.... well every application was useful. Thank you.

[@christinemanis9508]

Wow those look really nice I have a very old pair. I use them for everything they help so much just in prep time. I never knew what the part in the middle was used for thank you for sharing

[@annafrazier2438]

Those are great hacks. I use shears in my kitchen quite a lot. Specially for those "easy to open" bags and boxes that I can never seem to get into...

[@jenettecrescente9076]

I too have arthritis in my hands and these scissors would help me , especially the twisting off of caps, thanks for the demonstration 😀

[@moblackbird]

I mostly use mine for getting into plastic food packages. These look very nice!

[@nikkibaker1937]

These are all great ideas! I've used cheapy scissors (not nice kitchen shears) to cut pizza slices apart.

[@csflmich2239]

You gave me some great new ideas, they really are a must-have around the kitchen and house. I also use them for harvesting herbs and produce from the garden. Thanks!

[@karmamathison7724]

Awesome. I had no idea the teeth on the handle were grippers. So nice to know!! Thanks.

[@our3acrehomestead]

When my kids got to the age that they wanted to start cooking, I started them on "snip the herbs in the cup" tip. No knives to worry about. I also love the bacon tip. Love your vids and keep them coming.

[@rhondalandry5146]

Awesome tips!! Thank you. I don't have real kitchen shears but would definitely use them as they are so versatile!!

[@TheTrueRae]

Handy .... Very handy tricks you teach us. So appreciated as always Noreen!! Love ya both and tell Rick, that wire is not digestible "grin" Real and great!!

[@tamaradoerschuk9903]

Great hacks in this video Noreen. I love using them as you showed to cut up tomatoes in the can and even more for cutting up leafy herbs.It really contains the mess to clean up off your cutting board when you use the shears point down in a cup.

[@kymdisney11]

Hi Noreen! First of all, I really enjoy all your videos! Believe it or not, I only started to enjoy cooking about 18 months ago. (I'm 52.... Eeek!) I've been having a blast purchasing all kinds of small kitchen appliances and gadgets and watching videos like yours which are really helping me to become a better cook. Regarding your latest video, you asked us to tell you what types of things we use our kitchen shears on. To be honest, I've never owned a pair. I sure loved watching this kitchen shears hacks video tho. You're always so creative! Keep the videos coming..... they're wonderful!

[@SelfSustainedLiving]

I have to thank you for the parsley hack! I'm about to go harvest some, I'm going to use my scissors to cut it up before tucking it into the dehydrator! I use my kitchen scissors for tons of different things! trimming food saver bags, mylar bags, opening prepackaged foods, they get more use than anything else in my kitchen.

[@azuquita07]

I like using mine to open packs of bacon lol. We like to can stewed tomatoes, and I always thought my mom was crazy when she would cut the tomatoes up, but now I do it as well lol. I never knew those little teeth things could grip things to open! Thanks for that tip! I will be trying the pizza cutting next time as well!

[@TheCarolbrummett]

I have a pair and I love them. Dicing in the can, water chestnuts for Spinach Dip. What I like most about them is trimming the yellow fat from raw chicken. Also, trimming the fat from raw pork steak before baking it for 'Bar-B-Que Ribs without the Ribs'. I have Essential Tremors (it's hereditary and there is no cure) and I can no longer use a knife. These scissors have been a life saver for me.

[@01wrinklefree]

Thanks for the very informative videos you do so well, Noreen. One of the main things I use shears for is to cut up canned biscuits for making Monkey Bread for my 8 grandchildren. I cut each biscuit in half, then three times on each half, making 6 pieces on each biscuit. They love them!

[@donnasmith1377]

Hadn't thought of a lot of these. I use mine mainly for opening packages. time to expand my usage of kitchen scissors.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Thanks for the comment!

[@bakingwithallison283]

Nothing new here, but use mine for all kinds of things, snipping up the kids' spaghetti is one the comes to mind. I use kitchen shears everyday, I would daresay. Cutting the ends of those frozen popsicles that come in tubes, cutting the tough little plastic film they wrap around ice cream, cutting a sandwich in half....cutting through stems of grapes to get a bunch easily sometimes those are tough!

[@kathydobrzynski6119]

One thing I use mine for is cutting the ramen noodles smaller after cooked. I would love a pair.

[@lynnekay5737]

Kathy, I usually break the ramen up in the package before I open it.

[@kathydobrzynski6119]

I do too except I never get it down where it's bit sized for me

[@AlexisMaria]

Felt silly researching how to use this but this is helpful! Thank you from a beginner cook :)

[@pennasylvania]

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣% AGREED 👍 ‼️ I’m interested in removing shells from lobster tails 🦞

[@mizsterious]

Great Hacks . . . I agree every kitchen needs a Good pair of shears. Thanks for the info/hacks, and opportunity.

[@chelle-shellparks1882]

I love to use kitchen shears for cutting homemade noodles, salad, pizza, chicken for salads, and am always looking for a pair that is comfortable in my hands.

[@highplainsliving1953]

I have used mine for many things as you have, also in my baking for parchment, my food saver bags, just about anything really. Only thing I hadn't done is the parsley one. Loved that.

[@crflamesfan]

I have never used kitchen sheers and I think I should now! Thanks for the video.

[@michaelpurcelldo]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing Noreen. I also have used them to cut paper - waxed or any kind

[@BoPeep1]

We like to use them to cut BBQ ribs apart, and cut up meat for the Grands, and as someone already said for opening food bags, I would say we use them almost every day.

[@mattdecker7570]

I don't have a pair. They seem amazing. Thanks!

[@jeanbrawner2411]

I always use scissors to cut up cooked chicken for chicken salad! I have learned a lot from your videos! I would love a pair... I have to make several gallons of chicken salad this month!!

[@BanDanaGramma]

these look so much better than my cheap pair! BanDana Gramma loves to use them to trim the "cut and come again" lettuce in my garden.

[@gumdrop023]

Thanks for sharing your hacks, never thought of par-cooking bacon.

[@2451805]

My daughter loves home made marshmallows and the "chicken scissors" are much easier to use to cut them into squares.

[@amystubbs2393]

I use mine for opening amazon packages and chip bags- never have tried to use with food but now I will!

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

Noreen, the kitchen shears you demonstrated look like a great item to have in your kitchen. I have to say though my mom must have been ahead of her time. She's been gone for 32 years, but she always had a pair of scissors that were dedicated only to be used in the kitchen. And back then she would use them to cut bacon & I can still see her standing in the kitchen cutting up slices of pizza. She was a great cook & also very creative. It would be great to have some really good kitchen shears because I know that every time I used them I would be thinking of her. May the best cook win! Good luck to everyone!

[@roxyd.6639]

Great demonstration of how to use the shears to lighten the work load in the kitchen! I have a pair - but not as versatile as these! Hugs and Blessings to all the family!

[@lonelyprepperhomestead911]

Just the other day I was thinking it was time to upgrade my cheap pair that I bought first to see if I'd even use them. Well... I probably use them too much. :) Thanks for the video.

[@saintjoseph5462]

like to use for spare ribs... need a new pair thanks for sharing the tips

[@celticnana1165]

I would love these for my kitchen. They look better than what I have now. I have arthritis in my hand and to be able to open a jar like that would be great.

[@RICHROOFER1]

not for just the kitchen,but also great in the garden.

[@wayne1955]

Hi Noreen, I've been using kitchen shears for all the stuff you mentioned and then some for years. I have even used them to cut wire and other metals and like you said, after that they didn't cut much of anything. lol The price is also excellent as I have a pair of kitchen shears now that cost $112.00 but they will cut a penny in half and keep on cutting. But I didn't pay that price for them, I got them free when I ordered a set of knives from the the company. The company is Cutco, they guarantee their knives forever and they'll even sharpen them for you free of charge and if you ruin one and it's your fault they'll still replace it for free. I'm not gonna say what I paid for the set of knives because they were sinfully expensive and I've never spent that much money on a set of knives before in my life. I probably wouldn't have then except for the fact that my nephew was the one selling them as a salesman for the company and I wanted to help him out. If not for that I would have never paid that much for a set of knives. I had already ordered me some knives from Rada after hearing you talk about them and I was perfectly happy with them. But, to help out my nephew I bought a set from him from Cutco and gave the ones I bought from Rada to my brother and he loves them. So I guess it all worked out for the best. =)

[@Handschug7]

Sure could have used those yesterday, making my potato salad and green salad. Those look great.

[@marie42ify]

I use kitchen shears almost daily. Cutting herbs in my garden often but helps in so many ways including chicken & some meats. My husband thinks I am too dangerous with knives as I cut myself a lot. I even severed a tendon in my thumb once. Yes micro surgery required. It makes him happy to see me use shears instead :D

[@butteryum]

I reach for kitchen shears several times a day. I wouldn't want to be in my kitchen without them. PS - the grippy part works well for cracking crab legs too.

[@susant4508]

Easier then getting out a cutting board all the time, and you can snip herbs right over your dish! I had a pair that came apart so they were very easy to clean.

[@margaretbedwell58]

This was a great video Noreen...Like the parsley idea, I don't have a great knife skills. I too use the cap remover part on my cheapie pair. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed day.

[@heatherinparis]

I use MY kitchen shears for all chopping and cutting....but especially for the chopped-herbs-in-a-cup applications :D

[@MELISSA-zj8rb]

i love using scissors to cut raw meat ,it makes it so much faster than using a knife and less chance of being cut. the pair i had broke a few weeks ago and i havent gotten any more yet.

[@judycarroll4060]

They look awesome! I use scissors on herbs fruits, salads and many other items.

[@Tinkerbell31326]

Hi Noreen, this was a duh moment for me. why didn't I think of these things?! thank you so much.

[@GloriaNak]

Wow the twist off bottle cap thing is cool!

[@pbickford]

They're crucial when preparing lobster. Great video!

[@evan.5967]

Pieter Bickford Lobster is disgusting Squid is better mate

[@davidahart2476]

Thanks for sharing, I love the ideas you showed, I don't have a pair I could really using them

[@carleenscorner8287]

It's so wonderful of you to share these with us! Hoping! Hoping! Hoping! 😁

[@conniedoiron5111]

love those shears I use mine for chicken and chives never thought past that tfs

[@dani-wy2qw]

great tips and demo.the shears would be amazing to have.I use a regular pair to cut chives.

[@hollygibson628]

I have regular sissors in my kitchen for pkgs etc....i think the "kitchen" shears would be a better addition....but I just replaced my kitchen thermometer AGAIN....hope I win or....it can go one my "one of these days" lists. Thank you Noreen for being you! Without you, Heather and Mrs. Volfie, my life would be in a much sadder state.

[@sarahkur9501]

I love using mine for cutting up food but mine isn't as easy as yours looks if I don't win I'm gonna try and buy some

[@Savedbygrace412]

I use mine for opening food packages and mail! lol! Great hacks! I will try these Noreen!

[@mommylearner7255]

Hello and good morning, Miss Noreen! I used to use my kitchen shears for basic meat butchering because my knife skills are embarrassingly juvenile. I would purchase whole chickens from the grocer and, not knowing the proper way to carve them before cooking, I used my Henkels shears to separate the various pieces of the bird. I am a bit better now at understanding how a chicken has been beautifully put together by God, but for the life of me, my knife skills still remain immature and juvenile. You don't want to see a nice bird or ham after I've had my knife in it, that's for sure. LOL! :) Oh, one other thing that I used the shears for --- I used the non-cutting back side of the shears to help me pop lids off of well-sealed Mason jars full of my sweet and darling aunt's jammy goodness. She had an apricot-pineapple jam that we simply couldn't get enough of. Now that she has passed, I have taken up the mantle of family canner and will do my best to honor the delicious legacy that she left behind. Anyway, I no longer have those shears, so I happily put my virtual raffle ticket into the hat for a chance at the extra set of shears you were gifted. Thank you for offering them to your viewers! Many blessings, Mommy Learner

[@dazee73]

Thank you for showing these! I have been looking for really good ones that you can put in dishwasher!!

[@livingwithcancer1245]

I don't have kitchen shears. I'm quite sure they would be quite helpful. I'm sure since I haven't used kitchen shears before that kicks me out of the contest so thank you for sharing the link. Will definitely have to have two so my hubby can cut wire lol. Rick is so quirky lol.

[@deborahcatania74]

Hi Noreen...as always love your channel and Rick is a great camera man and taster! LOL I use shears for everything...opening bags, in the garden, on foods ect.Have a Blessed day!

[@lindasmith3266]

I have 2 sets, because when one pair is in the dishwasher I still have a clean pair to use.

[@heystella143]

I ❤️ kitchen shears! Thank you for the hacks. Never thought to use them in the can or cup!

[@chrystinabush862]

I use mine for raw bacon, cutting bags open....i have so many uses

[@TheAdiWeiss]

I love to use kitchen shears to cut up Polish sausage. And cabbage. I'd love a pair.

[@dianagibson4051]

A favorite use for the kitchen shears in our house is to use that toothy bit between the handles to quickly and easily cut the foil off the top of a bottle of wine, as opposed to faffing with that little blade on the corkscrew.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Great Idea! Thanks for the comment!

[@edtollesonjr3426]

great video! I like Kitchen shears for cutting chives and stalks off aspagus.

[@kimhoule2209]

I use mine for herbs, meat, opening packages, cutting freeze pop in half for the littles lol! I just have a cheap Walmart pair because our Ronco ones finally bit the dust!

[@jodiwilloughby2562]

I use kitchen scissors for opening bags, cutting up lobster or pizza and so many other things

[@marthamcquaid5440]

Great kitchen hacks. They would be a great addition to anyone's kitchen.

[@6psg]

I use them for cutting food into bite size pieces for toddlers. I also use them for scoring bread.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Sounds great! Thanks for the comment!

[@mindbodyandsoul.myjourneyt9797]

what I like chopping herbs in a cup is they don't stain your cutting board :)

[@rachalnocchi5600]

Very nice shears, I might just have to get a pair! My shears have about had it. :) Thank you for the share!

[@janiedee7388]

I use them for everything. Would love some that are sharp. Mine get so dull and they have legs I swear!!! God Bless You and Yours

[@toshasoltwedel2130]

I use them for everything! Makes cutting bacon so much faster
