Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its 3-inch head and nine round, sharp blades, this stainless-steel tool quickly and evenly minces a heap of herbs with a simple rolling motion. The mincer's oval handle is channeled to provide a sure grip even when wet, and the hanging loop at the handle's end is cleverly angled so that the 9-inch mincer lies flat against the wall when hung on a peg or a hook. It's also dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

Plain and simple - this tool does NOT work. At all.

It is supposed to mince the herbs when rolled over them on a cutting board. In reality, what it does is smash and juice the herbs into a pulpy mess. It does not work on parsley, chives, oregano, nothing. I tried several herbs, and it did not cut a single stem of any of them. It didn't even "kinda work" or work a little - it did not function one bit.

My second complaint is how lightweight and flimsy the tool is. For the money, I was expecting something a bit nicer. The tool is actually very light; the blades are thin and cheap. The handle is hollow; the entire thing bends easily.

Do not waste the money on this. It flat out does not work.

The Pedrini Acciaio & Acciaio Stainless Steel Herb Mincer is a great gadget for the Italian kitchen. This Pedrini Herb Mincer is far superior to the plastic Zyliss one. Fresh herbs, such as Italian flat parsely, French tarragon, and Greek oregano must be handled with care so as not to bruise them (which causes discoloration). European cooks have used rolling mincers for a long time. You put the fresh herbs on your cutting board and roll the mincer over them. Then you can add them at the end of your cooking or sprinkle them on the top of a dish for a simple but elegant garnish.
