Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This aesthetically pleasing herb-chopping bowl is perfectly designed for its function. The slightly scooped bowl holds a handful of fresh herbs while you gently rock the curved mezzaluna ("half-moon") blade to chop them to the desired fineness. The matching curves of bowl and knife work perfectly to turn what can be a tedious task into a pleasing one. The modest size of the bowl (9-1/2 inches square) means that it's easy to pick up to add the herbs to your cooking. Don't be tempted to wash the bowl or blade in the dishwasher: the natural wood and oil finish require careful cleaning by hand with a mild soap. (Other extremes of moisture and temperature should also be avoided.) The bowl can be easily stored on its side, but it's so handsome, you may want to keep it out. --Sherry Smith

Product Description

The J.K. Adams hand-turned herb bowl and matching mezzaluna chopper is a beautiful and efficient set for preparing fresh herbs. Carved out of a 10 square of maple, the shallow contour of the bowl is matched to the radius of the chopper to allow easy dicing and chopping with a simple roll of the wrist. The J.K. Adams design is unique with a plate garage sculpted into the sides so your herbs transfer from bowl to dish without spills. Non-skid pads keep the bowl firmly in place.

This review is from: J.K. Adams HB-1010 Maple Herb Bowl with Mezzaluna Chopper (Kitchen)

I saw this exact Mezzaluna chopper in an article about herbs in a recent issue of Cooking Light. It seemed to be the perfect alternative to chopping herbs on a flat surface. With the Mezzaluna you don't have to keep gathering the chopped herbs back to the center of the board, they fall back to the center naturally. Your fingers aren't in danger of being chopped off in the process either, because you don't have to hold the herbs while you chop. Just rock the *very sharp* curved blade over the herbs. Achieving "minced" has never been easier, or faster. This chopper is of *excellent* quality, and worth the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars a must have for herb gardeners!, September 18, 2003

I bought this for my husband (the chef in our home) last year and he still raves about it. We use a lot of fresh herbs in our cooking, and this tool has made it much easier to mince them *safely*. It cleans up easily and looks great too!

I love this little board - especially the fact that it's bowl-shaped which keeps whatever I am chopping from flying all over the kitchen. It's a beautiful addition to any gourmet's kitchen and a wonderful what-to give-for Christmas gift.
