Video How-To: Top 5 Uses for Kitchen Scissors

There are two kinds of people: those who use scissors on food, and those who don't yet use scissors on food.

For whatever reason, North Americans are late adopters when it comes to using kitchen scissors for anything but opening packaging and cutting twine. We can only imagine that this is because it's hard to know what you don't know. To that end, we've put together a video series intended to help the uninitiated understand what they're missing: that (to quote Bon Appétite magazine) "Kitchen shears are the most underrated tool in your culinary arsenal."
