Chef’n ZipStrip Herb Zipper

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.

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

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 :

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

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.

For such a little thing, this is beyond terrific. Makes the job of removing the stems from herbs so simple now. You gotta have this

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.

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.

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

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.

Worked great! Quick and easy! Love it! I would recommend it as a great herb stripper. Judy

This is a very handy gadget to have in your kitchen. Saves time and hassle.

I hate to strip herbs, especially parsley. This makes it super simple although it likely doesn't actually save time since you have to do one stem at a time.

For what looks like a cheap piece of plastic, this little baby is terrific. I have always been frustrated trying to do one leaf at a time and this solves that problem. The little bowl catches the herbs and allows you to just dump them into your recipe.

Great gadjet!

Got this as a gift for my husband and he loves it! Just what he needed for when he makes his mac n cheese dinner and Italian dishes of all kinds.

The time it used to take me to pluck rosemary and thyme off the stems has been cut down substantially! Love this gadget-a must have for anyone that enjoys fresh herbs.

These herb zippers are so clever, and the herb leaves just fall off the stems so easily. They save time so you don't have to chop the herbs. I highly recommend the herb zipper.

A handy gadget to have in the kitchen works well and makes
My tasks a little easier.
Thanks

Perfect for herbs

i love this gadget! no more thyme and rosemary stems getting intothe food i serve! i even like figuring out which hole i should run the herb thru! rt

I like using this as I cook with fresh herbs but if the herbs dry out a little it does not remove the leaves well. Time saver

Works well

It's a good idea, but I have found that it's just as easy to strip the leaves with my fingers.

I've tried to use it a few times, but the stems of the herbs break off before the leaves get peeled off through the holes.

It's almost like it's backwards?!?!? The herbs are bend forward into the bowl -- instead of being pulled backwards. Using my hands works much faster and easier!

The stem breaks befor herbs are stripped. Tried to thyme and rosemary and neither worked.
