 Busy B&B LOVES Mezzaluna! Feb 03, 2007
By Devona Porter
"Tucker House B&B"
Since I own a B&B, I grow my own herbs. I have owned this mezzaluna for a number of years and it's still going strong; the blades are just as razor-sharp for mincing fresh herbs as they were the first time I used it. The wooden "bowl" has become somewhat discolored, but that's okay by me -- it's just beginning to take on that "antiqued" look that I love! This is one of those little-known products that makes you say, "How did I ever get along without this?" You can mince ANY fresh herb quickly and near-effortlessly with this item. I also use it for chopping other fresh vegetables and dried fruit for my scones. The ONLY drawback (honestly) is the design of the blade. The handle resembles the blade so much that you need to be extra careful not to grab the blade instead of the handle -- which is why it only gets four stars and not five! If Henckels would revisit this "character flaw," they'd have a perfect product! Oh, and you won't want to submerge the wooden chopping bowl in water for any great length of time (just as you wouldn't want to do that with a good chopping board, either) as it might warp somewhat. Mine did just that, but when it dried completely, it went back into shape -- and I learned my lesson -- which I'm now sharing with you! This is a product for serious cooks who spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing quality, fresh food. I ordered five of these and doled them out to friends and family members (who are "serious cooks") for Christmas gifts. They all love theirs! Enjoy your newest kitchen gadget and use with confidence!

 Double blade a disappointment Jul 03, 2007
By M. Stuart
Have used the mincing set several times now and for the most part enjoy it. The draw back is the cutter (it is quite sharp, by the way - so be careful). Looking at it the cutter looks double efficient however, I've been using it with cilantro, which is clingy anyway and it really gets into the space between the blades. Difficult clearing it out and drying it without getting cut. Hoping for better results with parsely and other herbs. The board/bowl is great. Cleans up nicely.

 Excellent for herb chopping Apr 04, 2008
By C

The Henckels 2-piece mincing set works great for fine chopping of herbs. It is the sharpest one I have seen. I agree with some of the reviews that state it is hard at times to distinguish the handle from the blade when you quickly pick it up, so you have to be very aware of this to ensure you don't grabe the sharp cutting blade end instead of the handle. I have been keeping mine in the lightweight cardboard sleeve that it came in. It would be helpful to have a good, strong plastic sleeve to put over the cutting blades. I haven't tried chopping nuts with this cutter, but think it would do a fantastic job.

Henckels 2-Peice Mincing Set Mar 08, 2006
By John Paul Jones
The actual mezzaluna is a very good piece for many uses. The cutting bowl is a nice touch but not very practical. Mezzaluna works better with a regular cutting bowl. Overall a very good product!

Just what I was looking for Mar 03, 2006
By Theresa Chathaparampil
This looks like it's going to be a much used and loved item for making salads and cooking with herbs. I find the solidly built quality excellent and the size and weight of it just right. I'm glad the bowl in the wooden block is large enough to accomodate lots of herbs and that there are little "feet" on the bottom so it won't slip around. Can't wait to grow some more herbs this summer for mincing up. The knife and board also are quite a work of art in their own right.
