OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Poultry Shears

The OXO Good Grips Poultry Shears are awesome. I love how the shears feel, how sharp they are, and how easy they are to use and to clean. These are the best kitchen shears I have ever used. I highly recommend them. They are definitely worth the extra $. The designers are to be commended for a great job focusing on both function and form in this well engineered product.

Poultry scissors easy to grip and works effectively.

These poultry shears are simply awesome. So much so that this is the second set we have. I process all of our own poultry, chickens and turkeys and it is a huge job. With these i can process 20 birds in one morning easily. I love that they have the spring action, really saves lots of wear on my hands. So nice that i can just pop the two pieces apart and stick them in the dishwasher to clean up too! I now have a pair in the kitchen and another with my processing supplies for ease.

easy to use and very sharp

Cut through the chicken like a hot knife through butter. Cleans real easy. I could have bought a cheaper one, and they might be ok, but I am sooooo happy with this one that the extra few bucksdon’t bother me at all.

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Poultry Shears – a Home Depot Seeds Program ReviewI’m fast becoming an OXO “super fan”. It’s now one of the few brands I seek out when looking for kitchen accessories. It stands to reason that when I was looking for some poultry shears to make spatchcocking chicken and tipping wings easier, OXO would be a good start. I have not been disappointed with my choice.The blades of the shears are stainless steel and curved slightly and tapered for, I suppose, better cutting ability and reaching difficult places. The bottom blade has a micro serration through the full length of its cutting edge. I can definitely say this improves their cutting ability. I’ve been able to remove the backbone of chicken, cutting through the ribs and bone nearly as smoothly and easily as cutting paper with scissors. Wing tips come off just as easily. They worked far better than even the very sharp chef’s knife I generally use. I haven’t tried using the shears to de-bone poultry yet but I have no doubt they would work easily well since they are not too large to be very controllable. I also suspect they would work equally well for cutting the backs of a rack of ribs. The handles are non-slip and are a hard ploymer used by the other OXO products I have. The grips are very comfortable to use and are, as advertised, non-slip even with fat and oils on them. .The handles are molded tightly to the blades and can’t be removed. They also don’t allow any material to get between the handle and the blade which would present a very unsanitary condition.The handles are clip-type spring loaded which really helps separating the blades after a cut. I guess this is supposed to reduce hand strain and I guess it does. The bottom handle encloses your fingers during use making the blades easier to separate and the spring enhances that action. I found it made controlling the cut much easier because the blades can be separated very easily when released. This might cause a problem storing partially opened shears were it not for the lock on the back of the handles to keep the stored shears closed tightly.I’m very concerned about poultry and bacteria and I’m pretty particular with cleaning my utensils after using them – particularly on poultry. There are no gaps or areas that would harbor bacteria laden material. The blades can be separated easily for thorough cleaning after use. OXO recommends hand washing and drying immediately. This would be no different than the care of any of the other kitchen utensils like high quality knifes that I use.These OXO Poultry Shears are very nice and suit my use very well. They’re sharp, comfortable and very effective. They can be disassembled for easy, thorough cleaning and there are no areas to harbor bacteria producing debris. If there is any concern (though not for me) it would be that they are not dishwasher-safe. This may be a problem for some. Overall, I find these shears an excellent product.

Oxo products continue to get ‘recommended’ by American Test Kitchen and after putting them through the courses, we agree. These kitchen shears are no different. What we love – these shears are really great at meat and chicken shears. They have a notch that will hold and the cut through a chicken bone with ease. The are spring loaded, so they bounce open naturally. The the number one thing about these shears – they come apart for complete and easy cleaning. Cons – they are over kill for a lot of kitchen actions (e.g. cutting open a frozen bag of veiggies), but otherwise these are winners.

OXO Good Grips Poultry Shears has some great features. I has a non-slip handles to help provide a secure comfortable grip when hands get wet or from cutting up chicken. I have medium size hands that the feels good to the hand. The shears are spring-loaded to prevent hand strain, it also has a lock handle to keep the blades closed when is being storage. One side of the blade is a micro-serrated blade to help grip food to gut through the meat and bone with ease. One nice feature is the blades can be separated without using any tools for easy cleaning. I stated to hand wash and do not use a dishwasher or allow soaking in water. In doing so, it will reduce the life of sharpness of the blade. I got to use the Poultry Shear on cutting up a chicken and it cut through bone with ease. Great tool to have in the kitchen to help cut up chicken and other meats.

After purchasing just in the past month, I found these shears to easily cut through a chicken when I needed it butterflied. They have great leverage, very sharp, and the blades easily separate for cleaning. I highly recommend Oxo poultry shears.
