I ended up stripping the herbs leaves manually eaves are not getting stripped properly and I had to manually stripped them

Wenn man oft mit frischen Kräutern kocht, erleichtert dieses kleine Gerät die Arbeit. Bei Thymian oder Rosmarin z.B. muss man nicht mehr mühevoll die einzelnen kleinen Blättchen oder Nadeln von Stiel entfernen, sich mit Teeeiern behelfen oder ganze Zweige ins Essen legen und hinterher wieder umständlich herausfischen: man zieht den Zweig einfach durchs gerät und hat schnell die Gewürze von Stiel getrennt.

Whenever possible, I like to use fresh herbs in cooking. For the last couple of years, I’ve grown my own herbs in pots on my patio and look for recipes to use them. Some herbs are easier to chop than others, and I am always looking for a new way to get the herbs off the stem and into my dish. Herbs like rosemary, thyme, and tarragon can be removed from their stems by pulling the ‘branch’ backwards between two fingers. This works, but it can take some time and so many leave stick to your fingers when you use this method. Other herbs like parsley can just be chopped off the stems, but it is hard to keep from getting any of the stem in the mix. I found the Chef'n Zipstrip Herb Stripper on Amazon and was intrigued enough to order it. This gadget is supposed to easily strip the flavorful leaves from the herb stems, and also measure the herb in the little receptacle attached to it. Great idea! Having now used it, I can say it is a pretty useful tool. I make an herbed tomato dish that has fresh parsley, oregano, thyme, and chives in it. Obviously, I didn’t need this gadget for the chives – I just took my herb mincer straight to them. But the rest of the herbs worked very well. Simply find the hole that best matches the thickness of your herb stem, and pull the stem through. It will strip the leaves as it pulls them through. If you are lucky, all of the leaves will fall into the attached bowl, but I recommend setting it on a cutting board or plate to catch the pieces that would otherwise fall on the counter. The oregano worked extremely well, as did the parsley. I almost didn’t use it for the parsley, but tried it just to see and was amazed at how well it worked for the parsley. It pinched the leaves easily off the stems and for the first time I didn’t end up with lots of little parsley stems in the dish. Not a huge deal, but I’d rather have more leaves than stems. The thyme was a little trickier. Most of my thyme sprigs had pretty delicate stems that broke easily as I tried to pull them through the hole on the herb stripper. I ended up using my fingers for the thyme. I’ve since made Bearnaise sauce with fresh tarragon and some roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary and found this tool works really well for both of those herbs. The Chef'n Zipstrip Herb Stripper will be a staple in my kitchen’s arsenal from now on. I highly recommend it to anyone who cooks with fresh herbs, unless you have a sous chef to prep for you.

Every year for Christmas dinner I spend hours preparing thyme and rosemary, so I thought I would buy this gadget and see if it could speed the process along. First thoughts are, it is much smaller than expected! However, after trying it out with some rosemary and thyme, I have found that it works really really well. You just thread the stalk through one of the holes and the herbs fall into the dish. Definitely works a lot better than expected and reduced the time that it usually takes to prepare herbs! I'd give it a solid 9/10, the -1 being that with rosemary the top half of the stalk can be a bit soft and break off as threading it, but other than that I highly reccomend this gadget!
