Dollar Tree’s heavyweight stainless steel kitchen scissors
- Price: $ 1.25 for a few scissors
- Why I love it: They are surprisingly durable, incredibly useful for daily kitchen tasks and extremely affordable.
Some time ago my husband offered to help his parents with a few things in the house and brought a few tools from our house to make things easier. At some point between the chicken leg and trimming her rose bushes, my favorite (and admittedly expensive) Henckel kitchen scissors disappeared. Gone. Not in a drawer, your garage or car. They are just gone.
I always hope that you will appear on my in -laws and not (still) replace them with another expensive couple. So I picked up a few heavy stainless steel as a stop-lick Kitchen scissors from the dollar tree for $ 1.25.
They looked robust enough and I thought, even if they are not great, they will bring me through until I am ready to splash again. Friends, that was almost a year ago and I still use them today. I sharpened it in a local kitchen business a few times, and the owner thinks it is funny that they are out of the dollar tree – especially because it has the comparison of my Henckel shears. But these scissors hold damn good!

Why I love
These scissors are real business. The stainless steel blades are sharp and strong. They switched everything through, from spatch cocking of a chicken to opening double -sealed snack bags. I use them almost every day and they stopped much better than I expected for something that costs so little.
The handles are surprisingly comfortable, even if I cut thicker things like bacon or woody flowers. They are dishwasher festivals, but I always wash all of my blades by hand to keep them in top top form. They are also light enough that my daughter can use them safely to cut construction paper and cord for school projects.
Regardless of whether I will ever replace my more expensive kitchen scissors, they deserve a permanent place in my utensil drawer. I use them regularly to cut pizza, pancakes and roasts in strips for my smallest, cut green beans directly into the pot and purring parsley directly over a salad bowl.
They also do a little more than just snippets. There is a built -in bottle opener and a nutcracker between the handles, which means that they have become the unexpected star of our snacking Saturday evening.
Because they are inexpensive, I will not emphasize when they are missing again. You are certainly not chic. But they are hard, reliable and much more useful than I had ever expected for the price. Somewhere on the way they stopped being my backup couple and were The Couple.
