I will be returning this item...
I read all the reviews for this product before deciding to purchase it. I own dozens of Oxo products and I've never been even a little disappointed with any of them! This product, however, is a bad mark on their record. Even so, I still stand by Oxo! So after watching my video, you will see that I've attempted to use this product to mince fresh cilantro. I washed and dried (repeatedly dried) the cilantro before beginning to use this product. I also demonstrate how dull the actual blades are by running the mincer over my hand repeatedly, and if you can't tell in the video, I pressed pretty hard and it wasn't even uncomfortable! I then go on in the video to run the mincer over the cilantro and it all becomes a huge, mushy mess. I had to film this in pretty low quality in order to upload it (Amazon requires all videos to be no more than 100 MB). So, that being said, it's hard to see how mushy the cilantro got. It was bad. The night before filming this review, I tried the herb mincer for the first time and it did such a horrible job that we didn't use the cilantro at all, since it was supposed to be a garnish but it all clumped together. After finishing my video review I had the thought that this product would probably work for cutting wide pasta (like linguini). Unfortunately, I don't make my own pasta. So, I will be returning this product.
