Product Information

Full details

The KitchenCraft Oval Handled Professional Herb Cutter is designed for home cooks who frequently use fresh herbs and want to elevate their culinary creations with minimal prep time. Its primary benefit is the ability to quickly and safely mince fresh leaves without the need for a traditional knife and board, though it is specifically optimized for soft herbs and may struggle with exceptionally woody stems or frozen products.

FAQs

Can this be used on garlic or ginger?

It is primarily designed for soft leafy herbs; we do not recommend using it on hard ingredients like ginger or garlic as it may damage the blades.

Is the herb cutter dishwasher safe?

While the stainless steel is durable, we recommend hand washing to ensure the blades remain sharp for as long as possible.

Can I use this on a glass cutting board?

No, using a metal tool on a glass board can blunt the blades quickly and is not recommended.

How do I remove stuck herbs from between the blades?

A soft-bristled brush or a toothpick can be used to carefully dislodge any stubborn herb fragments from between the blades.

What is the best way to store the tool?

Store it in a dedicated utensil tray or a knife block where the blades will not come into contact with other hard metal objects.

Troubleshooting

Herbs are sticking to the blades during use

Ensure your herbs are thoroughly patted dry before chopping, as excess moisture causes sticking.

Tool feels dull after extensive use

Check for any mineral deposits or dried plant sap on the blades and clean with a mild degreaser.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster than manual knife chopping
  • Sturdy stainless steel construction offers long-term durability
  • Ergonomic handle provides excellent control and comfort
  • Safer for casual cooks compared to using traditional chef knives
  • Easy to maintain and store due to its compact design

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty root vegetables or woody stems
  • Blades require careful handling during manual cleaning
  • Requires a flat surface for optimal cutting performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required for the KitchenCraft Herb Cutter; it is ready to use straight out of the box. For optimal performance, always ensure you are using it on a level, stable surface like a bamboo or plastic cutting board to protect the integrity of the blades. After use, rinse the blades immediately under warm, soapy water to prevent herb particles from drying and adhering to the metal. While the stainless steel is high quality, manual washing is recommended to preserve the sharpness of the blades over time. Avoid storing in a cluttered drawer where the blades may rub against other metal utensils.
