A great way to cut down (yep, pun intended, I’m the worst!) on time spent in the kitchen is by investing in a good pair of kitchen shears. Use them to:
- chop herbs; especially chives, green onions, and basil
- cut a whole chicken into pieces (it’s a lot cheaper to buy a whole bird than it is to buy the pieces)
- cut-up dried fruit for granola
- cutting pita bread into triangles
- not so much a cooking tip, but they’re also great for cutting the ends of a bouquet of flowers
