Bridgetown Garden Tools Herb Stripper

The stripper is versatile enough to handle delicate herbs like cilantro, parsley, and thyme, as well as heartier greens like kale and collards. The star-shaped holes work best for smaller stems, while the integrated notch is designed to strip larger, thicker leaves.

Yes, solid walnut is a dense, durable hardwood that holds up well to regular kitchen tasks. While it is more robust than plastic alternatives, it is a natural material and should be treated with care to prevent cracking or warping.

The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher will cause the solid walnut to swell, crack, or warp over time. To maintain the integrity of the wood, you should hand-wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately.

Simply insert the stem of your herb or green into the appropriately sized star-shaped hole or the side notch, then pull the stem through in one smooth motion. The tool catches the leaves while allowing the stripped stem to pass through.

While not strictly required, applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner occasionally will help keep the walnut hydrated and prevent it from drying out. This simple step will significantly extend the life and appearance of the tool.
