Hey man, I had a pair of kitchen shears crap out on me, so I decided to get a new pair. I remembered reading this piece and bought some. What a great find! They're great for breaking down chicken, like you suggested, but I really like them for cutting shrimp shells. My wife always wants me to devein them before cooking, but I prefer to cook them in the shell. A quick snip up the back and, voila, the best of both worlds. Plus, it makes them so much easier to peel.

Penn, this makes my day. Love hearing that it was useful, and that the newsletter could be of service! Cheers, pal.
