Spring greens plate
Chard and kale from the farmers market go through the largest hole nicely. I'm eating more greens because it's less work.

- Stainless steel, 12.3 × 6.9 cm

How to use it
Thread, hold, pull
- 01
Find the hole
Pick the smallest hole the bare stem will pass through. Thyme suits the 3 mm end; kale and chard need the 12 to 15 mm holes.
- 02
Pull the stem
Push the cut end of the stem through from the front, hold the steel and pull. The leaves gather on the near side.
- 03
Chop with the edge
Unclip the guard to use the sharpened edge on the stripped leaves, then clip it back on before it goes in the drawer.
Close up
A hole for every stalk
Small holes
The 3 to 5 mm holes take thin stalks of thyme, oregano and tarragon.
Large holes
The 12 to 15 mm holes take the thick ribs of kale, cavolo nero and chard.
Guard
Clips over the sharpened edge. Slide it off to chop the stripped leaves on a board.
Compared
Stripper or fingers?
Running your fingers down a stalk works on soft thyme but snaps tough rosemary and leaves kale ribs ragged. The steel edge holds every leaf back evenly.

Questions
Anything with leaves on a firm stem: thyme, rosemary, oregano, tarragon, kale, cavolo nero and chard. Soft herbs like basil are easier to pick by hand.
Yes, one side is ground to a cutting edge for chopping leaves. Keep the green guard clipped over it whenever the stripper is not in use.
Fold the leaf in half along the rib, push the cut end of the rib through a 12 or 15 mm hole and pull firmly. The leaf tears away from both sides in one strip.
Our supplier sells this steel version singly. It replaces the cheap plastic leaf shaped strippers, which flex on kale ribs and have no cutting edge.

Cavolo nero sorted
Cavolo nero for a ribollita, every leaf off the stalk in one pull. Saves so much time over a knife.

Nice, not sure about the edge
Stripping part is great. Haven't found the sharpened edge that useful for chopping, I still grab a knife. Stripping alone is worth it.

Oregano for the pizza
Fresh oregano for homemade pizza sauce used to be a chore. Pulled through the smaller holes and the leaves came off clean, ready to chop with the edge.

Wedding rehearsal dinner
Prepped herbs for the rehearsal dinner, forty guests, and the thyme and rosemary went through so fast I stopped timing it. I did the whole lot standing at the counter with a bowl in front of me. Would have taken my sister and me an hour with fingers. I finished in about fifteen minutes.

Marinade herbs
Rosemary and thyme for a lamb marinade took a minute. Strip, chop, mix with oil and garlic.

Easy kale for the pot
Kale for soup is quick now. Pull and drop it in the pot.

Fingers are quicker for a sprig
Works, but for the odd sprig of thyme I find it quicker to just run my fingers down the stem. Probably better if you do big batches.
