OXO Good Grips Poultry Shears Cut Through Bones ‘Effortlessly’

Whether snipping herbs, cutting chicken, or opening a package, there’s one kitchen essential you should reach for, and it’s not a chef’s knife. The OXO Good Grips Poultry Kitchen Shears were recommended by chefs to one buyer who reported, “Using these, you feel in complete control, [even while] cracking through bones.” Another shopper appreciates their versatility, saying they’re “great to cut up everything I need for salads, various stir-fry, dinner, pizza toppings, you name it.”

The OXO kitchen shears feature the signature soft grip design of the brand’s Good Grips line that we’ve all come to know and appreciate. Several shoppers said they’re comfortable to use and, as one shopper remarked, “easy on the hands when cutting.” The 4.75-inch stainless steel serrated blades are durable, rust-resistant, and curved, allowing them to reach into tighter areas. A blade notch also securely grips bones to hold them in place. Another fan, whose previous pair wasn’t cutting it (pun intended), said that the OXO shears “blew them out of the water” and “effortlessly cut through chicken bones.”

These kitchen shears are designed for easy cleaning. In fact, one customer said, “I like that they come apart for cleaning so [there is] no chance of yuckiness getting into the nooks and crannies.” To keep them in the best shape, the brand recommends hand-washing them in warm, soapy water and drying them thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Before storing, use the hand lock to keep the blades safely closed.

Over 5,800 shoppers have given these poultry kitchen shears a five-star rating, with many praising their ease of use and sharp blades. One shopper uses them to spatchcock turkey and reported that they “cut right through easily, making the job a lot easier than past times when I’ve used a butcher knife.” They’re buying a second set as a gift for a family member. Another shopper agreed, stating, “You don’t need another/bigger knife, you need these,” and added that they can be less dangerous than using a knife or cleaver. “I’ve used these on chicken bones with zero issues; spatchcocking a bird is so simple, I should have had one of these years ago,” wrote a third reviewer.

A good pair of kitchen shears is one tool you’ll wonder how you ever went without. Grab the OXO Good Grips poultry shears at Amazon for $30, and you never have to wonder again.
