Are these good for cutting vegetables stems like cauliflower, broccoli and good for herb cutting into tiny pieces?

I have used mine only in an office so far but feel sure they would be ideal for almost anything in a kitchen.

I haven't tried. I imagine they'd be good for vegetable stems since they are strong and sharp. I would think a knife or cleaver would be faster for cutting herbs.

My wife says these shears cut very well, both for heavy duty and fine work.

These will easily slice Jello since they ARE meant for vegetable cutting. They will not cut skin easily at all though and as seen in the picture the shape stops halfway through the cutter so make sure to make the Jello thinner than one inch

You can cut them. The lighter green ones that are circular (I can't remember the species) are small already. They would be perfect little hills in a mini terrarium.

Yes. This cuts carrots and they are much harder than sweet potatoes. It cuts a veggie platter quickly but wont cut green peppers. It does cucumbers and carrots beautifully and any kind of potatoes! I love my cutter!

These should work, D. I cut up my indoor compost, sometimes pretty stemmy stuff, and trim heather and the like outside. The blades are fairly pointy so if you have some super thick mats, you could cut in layers. The grip and the spring allow for extra leverage I think.

I would think so. I use mine to cut out piecrust dough and they are good with that. I guess it depends on what type of fruit and how firm it will be.

Yes they work VERY if whole carrots cut in half... also works well for kale...one trick, do not wash the produce until ready to use keeps much longer! hope that helps

Yes they can. They are large like regular scissors so they can cut just about anything your imagination can come up with. My family likes shredded lettuce for tacos so I tried it for that and it worked like a charm

I've never used it for vegetables, but I would imagine they'd have to be a hard veggie, like carrot or frozen pretty solid! And cut kind of small!

Yes you can. I would think about any veggie. Just watch what type of surface you cut on. (wood preferably) They Will chip or brake if misused. Be careful they are very sharp.

They should be sturdy enough, i use mine to cut raw carrots. The only thing they might be a bit small if you want to cut sandwiches, the size of the shapes is under 5 cm

They work best with firm vegetable, potatoes, sweet potatoes/yams, carrots, beets, etc. I haven't tried fruit, but apples are supposed to work well. If you search online for veggie chips you can find lots of recipes and suggestion You slice the vegetables very thinly, using a mandoline works best, and microwave in a single layer without overlapping the slices 7 or 8 minutes. You can stop the micro and let out the steam and keep adding minutes as needed but you do have to watch it, especially in the last few minutes as they can go from perfect to burnt quickly. You can mist the chip makers or the chips with a little olive oil or other healthful oil if you like but it isn't necessary as the chips don't stick. You can also sprinkle salt or other flavorings on the chips before you microwave them. I find using them one at a time works better than trying to do them in two layers at once. Wash with soapy water after use, rinse well and dry.

It would depend on what your cutting. Light brush and small branches would be fine. I made wood handles for them and wrapped them in para cord. They are very sharp and you need to know how to sharpen them.

Yes. I use them for the momofuku cakes (for which specifically shouldn't be cut), but they certainly could be.

Cutting orchid stems would be perfect for these scissors. Don't try to cut anything woody, such as a outdoor branches, larger than diameter of a pencil. Mine broke doing that. I contacted Amazon for a replacement since the packaging stated they were "lifetime guarantee-d". I was given a (one time only!) replacement....of which I am grateful. I really enjoy using these and would recommend them highly.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I purchased it originally to mince cilantro to make guacamole. It is so much faster than using a knife or scissors. I simply strip the leaves off fresh herbs and roll over then several times and I'm done. I'm sure you'll be happy with this purchase.

You can definitely use them. I use them to cut pieces out of wine bottles to turn them into planters.
