Customer Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer
Customer Rating:  Summary: Herb Mincer -- Recommended Comment: Being pretty handy with a knife, I generally avoid products like this, but I was looking for another item to fulfill the 4 for 3 promotion and decided to get this. I'm surprised at how good it works as it does a much better job of chopping thyme and rosemary than I can with a knife. With thyme, I would remove the woody portion of the stem and chop it as finely as possible with my knife but still would have little pieces of stems that I couldn't get. Since the mincer can be moved over the herbs in different directions without lifting it from the work surface, all of the pieces get chopped or minced, and the lip on the handle allows you to scrape the herbs back to the center for mincing. The mincer can be held comfortably and securely in your hand, and it is easy to use, and just as with a knife, the herbs can be chopped coarse or fine. I have used it on thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley and cilantro with excellent results. When the herbs accumulate on the blade, the mincer can be opened to give the blades a quick clean, and it can be disassembled for cleaning. I clean mine with a nylon bristle brush and a quick rinse under the faucet. Though this sturdy and compact unit isn't a must have item for the kitchen, it does come in handy if you like to cook with fresh herbs. More Reviews Preparing fresh herbs is simple with the OXO Good Grips Herb Mincer. Its stainless steel blades quickly chop fresh leafy herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro and more. A soft, non-slip grip keeps hands away from blades while cutting. Use the front end as a scraper to gather herbs into a pile for more efficient mincing. The Mincer opens partially to wipe the blades free of collected herbs and separates completely into 2 pieces for easy cleaning. The Herb Mincer is dishwasher safe. Special Features: Stainless steel blades quickly mince fresh herbs Opens partially to wipe blades clean of collected herbs Soft, non-slip grip keeps hands away from blades while cutting Front end serves as scraper to gather herbs into a pile while mincing Separates into two pieces for easy cleaning Plastic cover prevents blades from being exposed during storage 
Choosing Appliance -> Spoons Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice). Choosing Appliance -> Baking sheete Not too much romance here, but essential for any functional kitchen. Buy the heaviest pans possible. Also, you should consider buying a non-stick silicon sheet: they make baking very easy! Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer
Useful info -> Dishwashers A concealed heating element reduces the risk of lightweight plastic items such as children's drinking cups melting onto it after becoming dislodged mid-cycle. Limescale build-up is also prevented. Some manufacturers now produce models with the concealed heating element coiled around the water inlet pipe for further energy efficiency. |
