I've been wanting an herb mincer for a little while. Knowing this, when my husband saw one on clearance he picked it up for me. You can all go oooh and awww now. I was so excited to try it out. So the next time my recipe called for some fresh basil, I whipped that baby out and went to it. I was saddened by the pathetic performance. It mostly just mangled the basil. There were little lines where it should have cut it. I thought perhaps it was not truly meant for basil so I tried it on parsley and cilantro, etc. All returned the same results. Moral of the story, save your money, even if it is on clearance.

I wish you would have asked- I had one.threw it away.
Any other alternatives that anyone is aware of? I feel like an herb mincer failure. Best method for me so far involves kitchen shears.
I kind of want to try something like these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TYKWMI/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002YLT4CI&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=051ZTJS51PSHM7DTP1H8
I typically use kitchen shears or my "big" knife.
