Chef'n Zipstrip Herb Stripping Tool and Measuring Cup, Easily Strips, Collects and Measures Herbs, Green, 60 ml

Product Information

Soft-stemmed herbs, such as cilantro, are threaded through the smaller holes, while woody-stemmed herbs, such as rosemary, fit into the larger ones. The edible stems can also be blended along with the leaves for pesto or other herb-based condiments and sauces. Those with large holes can be used to strip the stems of large leafy greens, such as kale and collard greens. As an added treat, you’ll get a silicone garlic peeler and a bottle opener—you don’t even realize when you’ll need one! The eye-catching green edge provides a comfortable spot to hold while using it, and the tool can be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Made from solid black walnut wood, this handheld herb stripper is equipped with eight different holes that range in size from 3 to 15 millimeters. This is the final product on our list, and if we must say so ourselves, it is a pretty darn good one. The center of the tool has six different holes, with the largest being a little less than half an inch wide. Herb stripping tools are specialized culinary gadgets designed to speed the process of separating leaves and stems, which may be time-consuming and frustrating.If your model includes a blade, you may remove the cap and finely slice or chop the foods before using them in a recipe. You may also choose versions with a blade on the other side of the edge to optimize your herbs and greens preparation. While using fresh herbs is obviously better when it comes to taste and nutrients, it is also a lot more work. However, it's important to be mindful of where you place your hand when pulling the herb stems through the holes so you don’t accidentally unlatch the shears. Then, once you have the leaves separated or if you have other fruits and veggies you need for the dish, you can remove the protective cover to reveal a blade that can be used to finely chop or mince your other ingredients.

Preparing herbs, aka removing all the individual leaves from the stem, are amongst the most annoying tasks. The procedure of removing single leaves off a stem is made more accessible with this best herb stripper. Look for herb strippers that incorporate a non-slip grip, thumb indentations, or a long handle to hold on to. Depending on the width of the hole or gap you use you can chose to have some stem or no stem at all as a result. Since this tool is made of wood, it's a more eco-friendly option than the plastic herb strippers out there.If you ask them, they tell you that anybody who prepares at home and enjoys putting herbs into dishes or beverages will have this little but beneficial tool.

To safely use it, you’ll need to make sure the plastic blade cover is securely attached at the bottom of the tool. If you are using a larger amount of these herbs you have probably tried to wrap your hands around the leafy part, held on to the stem side and pulled. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that there are two sides to this product—a sharp one and a dull one—so make sure to pull the stem through the sharp side when stripping your herbs. When determining the best herb stripper for you, it’s important to know which herbs you use the most in your kitchen. This pretty wooden tool not only makes a great herb stripper, but it also adds a dose of charm to your kitchen with its leaf-shaped design.

There are plenty of herb stripping tools on the market that are shaped like leaves, but this is one of the first we've seen that actually looks like one. This herb stripper includes cutting shears, which come in handy when clipping herbs from the garden and trimming the stems.
