Fresh herbs release more of their flavor when finely cut. But, chopping them with a knife can be tedious. Leave it to Microplane to devise a better way. The Microplane herb mill uses hundreds of tiny scissors to cut fresh herbs without crushing, bruising or blemishing the herbs in the process. Two surgical-grade stainless-steel cutting disks with hundreds of teeth rotate to create the cutting action, quickly and neatly chopping fresh herbs and revealing the full flavor. Herbs with soft stems such as cilantro or parsley can be chopped stems and all. For herbs with tougher or woody stems, such as rosemay, strip the leaves from the stems prior to chopping. Simply remove the top, load herbs in the body of the mill, replace the top and twist. The ergonomic shape makes the mill easy and comfortable to use. The Microplane herb mill easily disassembles for cleaning and all the parts are dishwasher-safe. 3" in diameter, 6.75" tall.
