Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 21881 Rolling Herb MincerCustomer Review: Great little mincer! Summary: 4 Stars
After buying the MIU mandoline, I wanted to make my own spice mixes for my homemade potato chips and fries. This little gadget did a great job of turning rosemary leaves, sea salt and ground pepper into a nice, uniform seasoning sprinkle. It also worked well when I used it to finely mince chives with some garlic. I doubt it will work well when you try to bulldoze it over a large pile of basil leaves (small piles are okay) -- for this, it's much easier to roll up the leaves into little cigars, slice them into chiffonade, and if so desired, minced. Otherwise, I'm guessing the result would be like some pesto got murdered on your chopping board. I read some people not liking the 'bruising' -- it's actually not always bad, because bruising can help release the herbs' flavors and aromas. When used on small amounts of herbs that aren't too 'wet', this little mincer does a fine job. Only four stars because there are better (but not necessarily easier) ways to mince -- like with a mezzaluna or a good, sharp chef's knife.
