Overview
Kitchens that break down whole chickens get a dedicated tool in these ZWILLING poultry shears. Curved serrated blades follow the bird's contours, one notched edge cuts through bone, and a barrel spring reopens the blades after each squeeze.
Curved, serrated blades that meet at one point at a time let the shears bite through skin, fat and bone without slipping. They are a single purpose tool for poultry, and the fine edges ask for hand washing even though they are dishwasher safe.
Who it's for
Cooks who buy whole chickens and cut them up at home get the most use from these shears. People who rarely handle raw poultry will find a lighter general pair easier to live with.
Pros and cons
- Notched blade cuts through poultry bones
- Serrations stop the blades slipping on skin
- Blades separate for resharpening
- Slide lock holds them closed in a drawer
- Hand washing advised to protect the edges
- Single purpose design for poultry and bone
Performance notes
Cutting force comes from the curved blades meeting at only one point at a time, which concentrates pressure where the bone is. Serrations hold the skin so the blades do not skate, and the barrel spring reopens them evenly. Edge life depends on hand washing and occasional resharpening after taking the blades apart.
