This stainless steel mincer is perfect for mincing all herbs, fresh rosemary, basil and parsley.

I love a little parsley in my omelet.

Here in this clip, my friend demonstrates using the mincer.

It's just effortless !
The fastest, most practical way of mincing parsley.

I ordered this one from "Lost In The Library Books", and their delivery and thoughtfulness is well appreciated and I'd like to thank them for their great service !

Definitely 5 stars to this product and to LOST IN THE LIBRARY BOOKS for excellent service.

A complete waste of time and money. The oils released from grating the herbs cause the grated herbs to clump and they remain in the grater. I took a handful of basil and oregano and absolutely nothing came out of the grater. You will need a knife to pick the wet clumps out of the grater and they are unable to be used in your recipe. Stick with the tried and true knife to chop, mince or just tear apart by hand.

I have had no luck mincing fresh herbs in this thing. Like others have said, the leaves get stuck in the blades and must be dug out. If you watch the video a reviewer posted, you'll notice that only a couple little pieces drop out after about 15 cranks. The rest is all stuck in the blades, a wet mashed up mess. Sorry. But that's the reality of this mill. If you had dried leaves, it work work better. But then, you can just crush dried herbs in a mortice for small bits or in your hands for larger bits.

I've had this herb mill for 10 years after receiving it off my wedding registry, and frankly I'm surprised they are still selling it. I thought it would make the tedious task of chopping fresh herbs much easier. Well, it doesn't. Basically, anything even remotely leafy gets macerated and caught on the tines and doesn't come loose. Then, you have to disassemble it to try to scrape off the crushed little bits, which stick together & to your fingers and are hard to distribute into whatever you are cooking. I end up getting out scissors and just using those instead. Don't bother with this...at least for fresh herbs. I guess it might work to chop dry herbs into smaller bits, but I can usually do that with my hands.

Herbs are not chopped as advertized. The product ends up in the blades in a mushy state. I needed to use a toothpick to put the ingredient into my salad.

Contrary to the previous reviewer I love this product. It works perfectly as long as you dry the herbs before grinding them. It is so much easier and safer (a child could do it) than having to chop them on a cutting board. I recommend it highly.
