Pro Kitchen Shears Plus
If you are not aware of the Swiss company Kuhn Rikon then I am must tell you that you are seriously missing out not knowing and using this brand. Their range includes: pressure cookers, cookware, frying pans, knives, tools & gadgets and of course being a Swiss company – fondue too! But I am not the only one raving about this Kuhn Rikon as they are also available on the shopping channel, QVC. So do please check out qvcuk.com as this site does have many products and sets there from the Kuhn Rikon range. If QVC are out of stock then do visit: kuhnrikon.co.uk
So let me start by saying that these Pro Kitchen Shears will become your professional kitchen helper and you will appreciate after you have used these shears that they’ll become friends of yours for life! My favourite place is certainly not in the kitchen, but I must say if I have got items from Kuhn Rikon there, ‘my kitchen life’ is so much easier, it is more enjoyable because I am more efficient as the tools I am using are so more efficient and more enjoyable. Kuhn Rikon are a relatively new company to me but I am so grateful I have found them as my time spent in my kitchen is so much better! So thanks to their long handles, these Pro Kitchen Shears Plus can be gripped securely and safely to chop through any tougher materials you might have to tackle. The wide blades are excellent for chopping through thick, rough materials such as my nightmare, blister packs, but also cardboard, flowers, twigs, wire and of course food.
These shears are made from stainless steel and feature an integrated herb stripper with two hole sizes that can easily remove the hard stems from fresh herbs and makes doing that job so speedy to achieve. With an integrated quick release spring I found that I could chop food quickly using just one hand! The micro-serrated blades held my food firmly in place so that I was able to deliver a precision cut with ease. Press the handles together briefly with one hand to release the lock and reopen the shears and you’ll find they are safe, comfortable and easy to hold thanks to the super soft touch handles, which are so comfortable in your hand. There’s also a grip hole that prevents the shears from slipping out of your grip if your hands are wet or oily. In addition there is also an integrated shock absorber which makes it easier to chop hard foods or materials, whilst the self-sharpening blade stays sharper for longer. You can also disassemble the blades so that they are easy to clean. These amazing shears are suitable for left and right-handers and you can lock the blades close when they are not in use.
Please do not put these shears in your dishwasher as this will ruin the lock mechanism, just wash by hand.

Pro Kitchen Shears
This is another powerful helper that you will be grateful to have in your kitchen as you’ll find you use it constantly. Because these shears have long, straight handles, this pair of Pro Kitchen Shears can be gripped forcefully to cut through tougher materials. The wide blades are excellent for chopping through thick, rough materials such as blister packs, cardboard, flowers, twigs, wire or food. Made from stainless steel the micro-serrated blades hold food firmly in place so that you can deliver a precision cut with little effort. There is an integrated quick release spring that allows you to chop food quickly with one hand, you just press the handles together briefly to release the lock and reopen the shears.

If you are chopping hard food or materials, it will no longer be a painful chore because these shears have an integrated shock absorber. With a self-sharpening blade the shear will stay sharper for longer and you’ll save space in your kitchen drawers as the shears have a slim line design. They are also suitable for left and right-handers. But do remember to lock close when you are not using them.

Dual Knife Sharpener Grey
Good cooks agree that the safest knife in the kitchen is a sharp knife and that is because it allows the user better control. So what is needed to keep your knives sharp is a sharpener and this one from Kuhn Rikon is superb. This super sharpener is easy, safe and effective to use on straight or serrated blades.
Having this sharpener means that you have no excuse for not sharpening your favourite Kuhn Rikon knives and other knives – whether they have straight or serrated blades by simply pulling the knife through the sharpening stones. The sharpener has sturdy non-slip feet and a grip-tight handle that will help you keep blades safely facing down. This brilliant tool features two different stones which are clearly indicated, one for straight blades and one for serrated ones. The ceramic stones are set at the optimal angle to bring a great cutting edge back to your knives and the collapsible design is terrific for saving space in your kitchen.
Follows are reasons why I think you should buy dual knife sharpener:
- It safely sharpens straight or serrated blades.
- It is suitable for Japanese and European style blades.
- Also suitable for plain or non-stick coated blades.
- It has long lasting ceramic sharpening stones.
- It has a space saving retractable design.
- With secure non-slip feet it has a grip-tight handle and an overall length of 16cm.
This is a must-have for all kitchens and also a great gift idea.
