5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Kitchen Gadget
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars Save yourself the money and just buy a good knife!
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"...

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

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.

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.
