Can these be used to cut up a raw chicken

I wouldn't use them for that. At first they were great.....but broke after about a month. Spend the extra money for a better pair.

I've been using these Messermeister shears to cut through breast bones, wing and leg joints and just about every part of the chicken but I wouldn't expect it to be easy to cut through the leg/thigh bone transversely. I would think that for that one would need some other kind of tool other than poultry sheers.

Only if you slit open the chicken and measure the surface temp of the inside of the chicken. So ... if there were no other internal temp measuring devices available you could use it in a pinch - but it's really not a nice way to treat the chicken.

Yes, they are very easy to cut. I cut several using a jigsaw. I would assume a hacksaw would work as well.

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

You could if the blades were similar to that of a knife. If they are like scissors, no...

They should be able to. However I wouldn't waste the money. These aren't very sharp and they all scratch easily. The $5 pair of shears that I have are much better.

You absolutely can. I however like my fingers where they are. This tool doesn't have a sharp edge so it is much safer and easier to use since it is shaped like the coconut. Most times the meat comes out of each half intact, in a matter of a couple minutes I have all of it out and I am done. Before when I used a regular knife it took forever and I frequntly injured myself or broke the knife.

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

These scissors are very sharp-actually all their knives are super sharp. I used them to cut fish bones, so perhaps they will also work on rawhide.

I have not cut them up - but I have looked this up on line & with the silpat company & they said NO. Do not cut as the fiberglass mesh particles might migrate into the food.

Im sure you could, I've never needed to cut them. You might want to check with the company regarding the dehydrator question.

I only used the shears once - on raw chicken that I needed to cut into smaller pieces for a recipe. I did not find it very useful in this context. Many years ago my parents had a similarly desgned shears that they used for cooked chicken. If cooked, I am guessing, but I think that it will cut through the chicken leg and thigh bones because the bones will become more brittle when dried by the cooking process. This is just a guess, though.

Yes, I believe you could cut them with a hacksaw or other appropriate saw, as they are steel.

I would assume so. They are pretty thin, so any ordinary scissors should work! They are thin enough you could roll them up and put a rubber band around them. They are not very thick.

If used for cooked meat or cold cuts, I would think it could be. I am not sure about raw beef or other meats. We use ours as lap trays while eating in our recliners. They can be washed so cutting and serving should be okay as they are advertised as dishes.

Yes, but you need a good grip to cut the ends off thighs and drumsticks. No problems at all with separating joints. They are the best poultry shears that I've found.
