I thought I saw somewhere on here a video of a really good herb stripping tool. I can’t seem to find it, so apologies in advance. Can someone repost it or a link to the discussion? Thanks in advance!
That was perfect Chuck. Not what I was thinking of, but better. Rosemary had always been easy for me using fingers. Thyme is the problem for me. But I think you solved my problem. And I don’t have to buy a one purpose gadget! Thanks!
The fork method in the video Chuck shared works pretty well. Check your kitchen scissors, you may already be in possession of a pretty effective herb stripping tool. Many kitchen scissors have little holes at the bottom designed for herb stripping like so:
I use my fingers, pull against the grain so to speak. Seems to work for me.
Sounds NSFW.
Thanks rodrigo, I will check the scissors.
Brian. I do the same. Easy (for me) with Rosemary. The challenge is thyme. My fingers are not as delicate as they used to be!
On Thyme I chop the tender stalks as well as the leaves. Leaves come right off the woody stalks.
