Progressive International Rolling Slicer Review

I have been using a rolling slicer similar to this one for 15 years.
Mine is from a company named EMSON and was made in the 80s. I have been searching
for this tool and finally found it.
I make Tabouli which requires fine-chopping parsley into very fine pieces.
After I do the rough cut, I roll over it (and the mint) with this tool.
Bottom line, it eliminates at least one hour of preparation. It's a great helper for under $10.

This product is not worth the money. The blades are wobbly and everything you try to chop ends up stuck in the blades. Its difficult to clean and does a poor job of chopping. Eventually I quit using it and ended up donating it to the Salvation Army.

This grinds about 3 walnuts, it takes all day to chop a cup. Better off chopping by hand.

Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer Review

Being pretty handy with a knife, I generally avoid products like this, but I was looking for another item to fulfill the 4 for 3 promotion and decided to get this. I'm surprised at how good it works as it does a much better job of chopping thyme and rosemary than I can with a knife. With thyme, I would remove the woody portion of the stem and chop it as finely as possible with my knife but still would have little pieces of stems that I couldn't get. Since the mincer can be moved over the herbs in different directions without lifting it from the work surface, all of the pieces get chopped or minced, and the lip on the handle allows you to scrape the herbs back to the center for mincing. The mincer can be held comfortably and securely in your hand, and it is easy to use, and just as with a knife, the herbs can be chopped coarse or fine. I have used it on thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley and cilantro with excellent results.
When the herbs accumulate on the blade, the mincer can be opened to give the blades a quick clean, and it can be disassembled for cleaning. I clean mine with a nylon bristle brush and a quick rinse under the faucet.
Though this sturdy and compact unit isn't a must have item for the kitchen, it does come in handy if you like to cook with fresh herbs.

Chasing leafy fresh herbs around with a big kitchen knife can be a time-consuming and irritating chore. Oxo offers an alternative with its Good Grips herb mincer. A hand tool with a rocking design and four stainless-steel blades, the mincer makes quick work of basil, mint, parsley, and other herbs. The durable plastic housing sports the signature Good Grips soft, non-slip grip and also ensures that fingers stay away from the cutting action. Designed to separate into two pieces for easy cleanup, the mincer is dishwasher-safe and comes with a protective blade guard for storage. Other specialty prep tools in this line include a mango splitter, a strawberry huller, and a corn stripper.

Norpro Meat Grinder, Mincer, and Pasta Maker Review

I like this grinder.
In the past I've owned the metal grinders that you have to clamp to a table and the electric kind with big motors that take up most of the space on the kitchen counter. They were so clumsy and a pain to clean that I seldom used either one. The electric one failed recently grinding peanuts!! and the old metal manual one got left behind in the last move so I decided to try this Nor-Pro despite it being made partly of plastic.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. You do have to assemble the blades correctly. My first project was meatballs -- it ground the meat(buffalo stew meat in this case), the onions, a little garlic, mint stems and leaves, and the dry bread all very nicely into the square bowl which is included with the grinder. I grind my own meat to avoid the fat and "parts" from supermarket hamburger. The coarse grind is just right for tacos or wonton filling. Cleanup was easy - I put the pieces in the square bowl, added some hot water and a squirt of detergent and it was all clean in a few minutes and ready to use for the next meal. The extra pieces fit into a small plastic ziplock bag along with the basic instructions so they are not likely to get separated or lost. The rectangular bowl is attractive enough and the right size to take to table to serve sushi or gyoza.
The plastic is nice sturdy plastic like that in Lego toys. You do need to have a smooth countertop for the suction to work to stabilize the base(it doesn't work on my butcher-block table). It looks nice sitting on the counter so there it stays and gets used a lot. I only use my blender for smoothies nowadays. Nuts and beans and all sorts of other foods get ground in this little grinder.
One needs to make sure the pasta dough is not too moist... it takes a little practice.
The vegetables and cooked meats typically used for sandwich salads grind very nicely - even celery. So it is great when preparing lunches for brown bag or picnics. It also does a nice job of grinding garlic for garlic bread and/or salad dressing... saves my hands from smelling like garlic forever.
I'm left-handed and it is still easy for me to use.
