If you are a lover of seafood, you no doubt have a favorite tool that you go to when cracking through shells and De-veining your shrimp. In fact you might have several different tools that you keep at hand. As much as you may love each for a specific reason altogether, using more than one is just not needed, especially with the Progressive International Seafood Scissors, which is the number one tool used in my household when it comes to cracking through crab, lobster, and for De-veining shrimp!

Here are my husband’s thoughts ….

We got the Progressive International Seafood Scissors and I bought a crab and I started cutting.

The curvature of the blades makes renting the crab shell asunder, weather it’s the back shell, or the legs. Two quick snips and you can pull the leg shell apart and the meat can be extracted with ease.

There is also a toothed crusher in the handles if you prefer to pulverize the shell. I found this most effecting for removing the legs from the rest of the crab.

Even if you only prepare/consume crab, or similar crustaceans, on rare occasion, these scissors will make your life a whole lot easier, and make the experience a whole lot easier. If you are a frequent devourer of said foods, these are inexpensive enough (but crafted finely) to get one for each of the whole family. It will ease the work of removing the shell as your eat, but keep all of the messy fun.

**Look no further for a pair of seafood scissors that works  for just a factor of the cost of other you’ll find of others the market. You can find the Progressive International Seafood Scissors on Amazon for $8.82 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. **

No kitchen is complete without a good kitchen scale. I’ve personally been looking for one for several years now. Why so long? Well, I first wasn’t sure what kind of scale I exaclty wanted and second because a lot of kitchen scales are usually space hogs and due to living in a small home I don’t want to over clutter the place.

I do a lot of baking and cooking and I know that having a good scale can make all the difference when trying to be a little more accurate when it’s called for.  Other reasons are because I know scales are great for nutritional needs. Needs like  counting calories and portion control.

I was pretty excited recently when I was contacted to review a Eat Smart digital Kitchen Scale! This scale comes in numerous colors but I went with the burgundy red because it matches all my other kitchen appliances perfectly.

I’m pretty impressed that there is a lot of big packed into this compact sized kitchen scale! For instance this scale is extremely easy to use. This scale comes with 2 AAA batteries and also has a three minute auto-shut off feature to maintain the battery life.

There are two buttons one for on/off and tare. Now if you don’t know what tare means, basically it’s a feature that eliminates the weight of a plate or whatever else you may be weighing something in so you can get a precise measurement of your ingredients.  And the other button on the scale is “unit” where you can messure four different units: grams / ounces / pounds / kilograms.

Included with this scale is a EatSmart Calorie Factors guide which makes Portion control and calorie counting super easy to figure out!
