Did you know that Kitchen Scissors ($1.25) are actually quite different from regular office scissors? For instance, these shears feature thicker stainless steel blades built to cut through tough foods, meat (and bones), and packaging, along with asymmetrical handles for a better grip. They also include built-in bottle opener jaws.

10
Splatter Screen

Cooking Concepts Splatter Screen, 1 ct

A Splatter Screen ($1.25) is one of those kitchen tools you don’t realize you need until you start using one.
