Herb Keeper

Carefully read Use and Care before using.

SAFEGUARDS

• Use caution when opening. Because the base is filled with water,

never open near electrical sources.

PARTS

A. Lid

B. Insert

C. Container

D. Base

CLEANING

• Wash before using for the first time; dishwasher-safe when placed away from the heating element.

• Disassemble before placing in the dishwasher.

USE AND CARE

• You can use the container with or without the insert.

Use the container alone for delicate herbs like parsley.

Use the container with the insert for hearty herbs like thyme.

• Always lift from the base when moving the container.

How to store herbs:

1. To prepare fresh herbs for storage, submerge them in cold water and swish around. Remove

from the water and transfer to a paper towel; blot dry the leaves.

You may need to cut herbs down to fit into the container or insert. Trim the stems at a diagonal

and remove dead leaves from the herbs before placing in the container.

2. Remove the lid and container from the base. To remove the container from the base, hold the

base with one hand and pull up on the container.

3. Fill the base with water until the window on the base is . full.

4. Place the herbs into the container stem-side down. The stems should reach the bottom, so the

herbs sit in the water. If you’re storing hearty herbs like rosemary, oregano, or thyme, place

them into the insert. Then place the container into the base.

5. Cover the container with the lid.

6. Store in the refrigerator or on a countertop, depending on the type of herb.

You can store most herbs in the refrigerator. However, delicate herbs such as basil and cilantro

will keep better at room temperature with the lid removed like a bouquet of flowers.

TIPS

• To keep herbs fresh longer, change the water every day.

• Add delicate herbs like cilantro, basil, parsley, dill, or mint a minute or two before the end of

cooking to preserve their flavor and color.

• Add hearty herbs like rosemary, oregano, or thyme at the beginning or toward the middle of

cooking to allow the flavors to blend.

• Dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs, so when you substitute in recipes, you’ll

need to use a little more. If a recipe calls for dried herbs, a good rule is to use two or three times

more fresh herbs—so 1 tbsp (15 mL) of dried parsley would become 3 tbsp (45 mL) of fresh

parsley. If you’re unsure how much to use, start with less; you can always add more.

• Use sharp shears or a sharp knife when chopping the herbs to reduce bruising the leaves.

Herb Mill

CLEANING

• •   Wash before using for the first time; dishwasher-safe.
• •   Remove the green guard before washing. To remove it, squeeze the tabs together and pull up. To replace it, align the notches on the guard with the slots on the base and snap it into place.
• •   To grind more than one kind of herb, finish grinding the first herb. Before grinding the second herb, clean the gears by running them under warm water and turning the handle.
• •   The ceramic ball may become stained over time. It’s completely normal and will not affect the flavor of your herbs.

USE

• •   To remove the clear container, pull it at a slight angle.
• •   Remove the soft green lid before using.

1. 1. Place the ceramic ball at the bottom of the container and add loosely packed herbs on top.
2. 2. Hold the grinder base and turn the handle.
3. 3. If the base stops grinding, shake the tool vigorously so the ceramic ball pushes more herbs into the grinder.

TIPS

• •   The Herb Mill works best with leafy herbs like parsley, cilantro, mint, and basil.
• •   Always use fresh, dry herbs. If you’re using frozen herbs, let them thaw before grinding, and always pat your herbs dry before putting them in the container.
