Norpro 810 Herb Mill

I've used many herb mills over the years, but this is my favorite.

Most of the others were more expensive, but don't work as well or clean as easily as this one.

I was glad to find this and picked one up, even though the one I purchased many years ago is still functioning.

Perfect for fresh herbs or dried.

It snaps open and the rotary teeth and handle come out for cleaning.

This is very common in France, where I have always had one in my kitchen.

I was missing one here in America and looked for one in stores and online.

This is the best deal I had found (about 6 $) but I was anxious after reading the bad reviews. Now that I have used the item myself, I know it is exactly working the way it is supposed to.

I guess no offense that the people who wrote a bad review had very little experience with such a grinder. So let me tell you how to use it with fresh herbs (I've never seen it used for dried herbs) such as cilantro or parsley (in French, the item is called a hâche-persil, literally a parsley-grinder) :

insert a few clean stems with the leaves at a time (the purpose of the grinder is to use every part of your cilantro for example, not wasting the very flavorful stems). Let's say 5-7 ? If you put too many at a time, it will jam up (reviews about it are right).

start turning the handle in one direction. The leaves and stems will be pushed towards the grinder. Usually you don't need to press the stems in, but if you see that one stem remains out of reach of the grinder slightly press it down.

when it is done, turn the handle in the other direction, allowing some of the herbs still in the grinder to fall in your salad bowl

repeat the steps if you need more herbs

then open the grinder. Some herbs ALWAYS get stuck in the metal parts (this is normal), so take a small, sharp knife and use the end of the blade to remove them. Scratch over the salad bowl, so you won't waste any herbs and won't have to clean.

clean immediately the grinder, using a brush and water. If you wait, the herbs will dry in the metal parts and will be more difficult to scrub out.

You can choose to pay more for the same kind of item but you won't get a better one.

6 bucks is really a great deal. I am so happy to have found my new kitchen-friend for so little money !

Use it over every greens, it will add savor in a few seconds.

I was optimistic considering the other product review was glowing ... but sadly this product was worthless to me. I was hoping to find a quicker way to finely chop italian parsley, mint and basil. Maybe this thing can handle dried herbs, but the wet ones just stuck in the grinder. Part of the problem is that there is no way to push them through and the machine doesn't do any good at pulling them through. I alternated between risking my fingers to try to smash through the herbs and using a knife. Once some of it was chopped, almost all of it got stuck in the grinder itself. I guess you can't expect much for $10 but this really didn't warrant paying anything.

it's a very low quality piece (soft plastic), fell apart after first use while mincing dry herbs. might be used for fresh/soft herbs, though I believe it will have issues other reviewers already mentioned. consider to buy something else.

Not thrilled with this herb mill. Fresh herbs get stuck in the grinder. While I could work to get much of them out, it was a hassle. I'll go back to using my pizza cutter and scissors. Would love to find a herb mill that works!
