The Best Kitchen Scissors in Singapore 2026 — How to Choose and What to Look For
Share
Kitchen scissors are the most underrated tool in any Singapore kitchen. A genuinely good pair can replace your chopping board for herbs, spring onions and chilli. They can break down a whole chicken faster than a knife, snip noodles, cut pizza, open vacuum-sealed packaging and trim meat — all with one tool.
What Makes Kitchen Scissors Good?
Blade material: Stainless steel is the standard. High-carbon stainless steel holds a sharper edge for longer. Avoid scissors with unbranded or unknown blade materials — they dull quickly and are difficult to sharpen.
Blade design: Micro-serrated blades grip food while cutting and reduce slipping. Especially useful when cutting slippery proteins like raw fish or chicken skin.
Handle ergonomics: Handles should be comfortable, non-slip and sized for adult hands. Poor handles cause hand fatigue during extended use.
Separable blades: Kitchen scissors that separate into two pieces are essential for hygienic cleaning, especially after cutting raw meat or poultry.
Left and right-handed use: Most good kitchen scissors are designed for ambidextrous use.
What Can You Cut With Kitchen Scissors?
- Raw chicken, duck and pork — cut into portions directly over the pan
- Fresh herbs — coriander, spring onion, Thai basil, pandan
- Dried chilli and fresh chilli
- Noodles — bee hoon, kway teow, instant noodles
- Pizza slices
- Bacon strips
- Vacuum packaging and food bags
- Leafy vegetables — spinach, kangkong, lettuce
- Dried fruit and nuts
How to Care for Kitchen Scissors
- Separate the blades and wash each piece individually after cutting raw protein
- Dry immediately to prevent rust on the hinge
- Store with blades closed or in a blade cover
- Sharpen periodically using a fine sharpening stone
