It doesn't work as deescribed
I tried to use this for both thyme and rosemary. I thought this would be great for thyme as it so time consuming to take the leaves off- didn't work at all. No hole is small enough for thyme. With the rosemary - it would remove the needles but also pull some of the woody part. Great idea that simply doesn't work.

Works better than expected!
So far, I have used this on tarragon and cilantro. I didn't really expect it to work on cilantro because it's so limp compared to other herbs, but it worked like a charm! I love the various hole sizes, so far I have always been able to find one that worked for each stem

Thyme is a friend now!!
Seriously, this gadget works so well. I use several stems together if necessary to strip the leaves quickly and efficiently. Before I underused herbs like thyme. No more :

Love it
It worked great for me for thyme, rosemary and parsley. While it's not perfect, it saved so much time in preparing for herb chopping

It definitely helps
This device requires some human intervention to be helpful. It speeds up stripping those tiny thyme leaves by about 50% which for me is a big deal at such a small price. Worth buying and learning to use.

It Works!
I am very satisfied with this product. Have tried it only on fresh thyme and it works great in the smallest top hole. Looking forward to using on other fresh herbs. Thank you.

Bought these for my girl friends
Every year I buy my girlfriends my favorite little thing of the year
as a Christmas gift. One year it was cashmere socks. Last year candles. I use lots of fresh herb and love this. It takes some figuring out. Once you strip the herb it is very easy with a few snips of kitchen shears to finely chop right in the bowl. Especially like for rosemary and cilantro.

Green Herb Machine
This device certainly helps and saves time. Not all herbs move through it as easier as others. Worth the money and easy clean up.

Cilantro made easy
This is a great device. I like it better than I expected to. Cilantro leaves stripped from the stems in seconds. Tarragon leaves cleanly removed with ease. Every home chef should have this really inexpensive time save.

how does this differ from the chef'n looseleaf kale and herb stripper? Are the holes different?

Chef’n ZipStrip Herb Zipper

BEST ANSWER: You probably only need one. I have both and only use the flat one. The cup is kinda small.

I haven't purchased this item yet, but would like to in the future. I am concerned about the problem that has been mentioned in several of the reviews, which is the inability to strip small, thin stemmed herbs. I was wondering if using several stems together to pull through a larger hole might work. Would this be feasible?
BEST ANSWER: Thinness of herbs stems doesn't seem to matter, but soft and tender stems (tarragon comes to mind) tend to break, but can be bunched and pulled through the largest hole. And Rosemary works the best it you thread it through tip to base (opposite from the technique illustrated in the photo), effectively pulling "against the grain".

Will this work for parsley? I like to make tabouli.
BEST ANSWER: I was so excited about this tool, especially for stripping thyme leaves from the stem. But I have to say I've been disappointed. Even though it has different hole sizes, unless a stem is particularly big and tough, it doesn't work very well, I'm sorry to say.
