Oh, it very definitely is worth it. Last night I cut up six pounds of
chicken wings into their joints in about five minutes; wing tips for the
stock pot, buffalo wings for the rest. Six pounds of wings is a fairish
amount, no big deal but I really think it went faster than with a knife:
the shears kind of find an opening for you and slip between the bones
with none of the trial and error you might find ("ah, just a sixteenth
of an inch to the left next time") using a knife.
Adamantius... looking at the thermometer and seeing 103.6, and thinking
of chicken soup
