Wusthof Mincing Set

The concave, dished center is specifically designed to cradle the curved blade of the ulu knife. This shape keeps your herbs and aromatics contained in the middle while allowing for a smooth, efficient rocking motion that makes mincing much faster than using a standard flat board.

No, this set is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can warp the beechwood board and damage the synthetic handle or dull the blade's edge. We recommend handwashing both pieces with mild soap and drying them immediately.

While it excels at mincing herbs, garlic, and onions, the ulu blade is best suited for smaller, softer ingredients. It is not intended to replace a chef's knife for heavy-duty tasks like chopping root vegetables or breaking down proteins.

The board features four rubber feet on the bottom, which provide excellent grip and stability on your countertop. This ensures the board stays securely in place while you apply the downward pressure needed for mincing.

Because of its unique curved shape, you should use a sharpening tool designed for curved or serrated edges, or a honing steel if you are comfortable with the technique. Avoid using standard flat pull-through sharpeners, as they will not accommodate the blade's geometry.
