Does herbs get stuck, is it a nightmare to clean?

Yes they do. I have to use a slim knife or tooth pick to get the herbs out and to clean.

The five blade shear is simple to clean. To save what is stuck sometimes I run a knife through the blades to Remove some or just rinse under faucet for quick removal. Caution, the blades are very sharp.

Not at all. The shears come with this nifty red cleaner that you use to get the last bit out. Be sure to use the cleaner and not your fingers as the blades are VERY SHARP and will cut you instantly. Then you just run them under water and dry. These shears are just perfect for cilantro and chives. I just love them.

Absolutely not! It comes with a safety cover that also cleans the blades. I love mine, one of the best purchases I have ever made, and I grow lots of herbs!

I purchased one of these sets; I can't claim to have a definitive answer, but the inside is clearly "raw," that is, not polished. The outside is at least polished, and there could be a sealer on it, such as one you may use on granite counter tops. I'm thinking that the inside is left that way to avoid slippage when you grind herbs. Just an idea...

This is my first grinder, but I would say cleaning is not that difficult. I rinse out the grinder part and then wipe it down with a rag.

I empty mine after each use. I have had no trouble with clogging or removing it from stick. I use it daily and have had for few months.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get this pan clean. When food sticks to it, the easiest thing I've found is to wait until it cools off and then fill it with water, let it soak for a few minutes, and then scrub it clean. Usually just a few minutes in water loosens up anything that's stuck. Otherwise, a couple of times I've used a kitchen scrub brush (the cheap kind with bristles) to deal with really tough spots, and that takes care of it. I've even run this pan through the dishwasher a few times when I've cooked things that aren't stuck too bad, and it goes through the dishwasher very well!

Actually, no. Everything is hinged together, so when you're done pressing (squeezing) the garlic cloves, you just open it all up for cleaning under running water. It's very easy and efficient.

I wouldnt think it would be necessary. Dried herb leaves can be much easier to remove from theit stems than fresh. I prefer fresh which is why I use this product.

I would not recommend chopping fresh herbs in a grinder since they are delicate and will bruise. I would recommend using herb scissors which do an excellent job and can be washed in the dishwasher.RSVP Herb ScissorsHope this helps!

Yea a pain! I soaked it and used a scrubbie. Turns out that pan is very resistant to all types of cleaning products if anything sticks. I usually let the pan soak overnight. It's my favorite pan

Not too hard to clean but it is important to throughly clean it regularly, after each use if possible. The hardest part to clean is the kettle but again with consistent maintenance it's not bad. The unpopped kernels fall into a tray that slides right out to dump, and the rest just needs wiped out. We use soapy water on a cloth then wipe it out with a wet cloth & let it air dry. Hope that helps

I'm not sure how sturdy your herbs are, but I use mine to grind coffee and that's a pretty tough substance. Be careful, however, not to densely pack the grinder and pulse it to grind. Don't overload it and then jam down on the buttons. That's a sure recipe for failure.

Perhaps the "no bugs" aspect that can occur with non-sterilized soil. Or the appearance. It's pretty and fits better in a modern kitchen. In my experience, my herbs (Basil and Shiso) quickly outgrew the pots and died upon attempt to transfer to larger pot because the root-system cannot be safely removed through the grid/grate.

not hard to clean at all. I put the loose parts in dishwasher. Sometimes, I just rinse them off if I think I will need them before I run the dishwasher. I always feel the top part with the grinder works better if it is as dry as possible when you use it.

I have the same item for the same amount of time and have had no issues with it. I clean it after each use just to make sure it doesn't get clogged up.

No, the spout would become plugged. You would have to remove the spout. I have tried dry herbs, it didn

Hi Cynthia! This is how I seasoned mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SesaUVFZ-M). And for cleaning, I only use the bamboo brush you'll see in the video. Hope this helps. -Paul

Keep it in the freezer. Lasts a long long time in the freezer. You can also keep your herbs in the freezer.
