Chopping Herbs Without the Mess

[bozzy]

Get one of those flexible cutting mats. When you are done chopping, you can lift up the sides of the mat and curl it in to make a bit of a cone type shape, then dump the herbs into your put/bowl/whatever.

I use those mats. They work great, and they are cheap enough to just replace when they get really worn.

I, too, have the double blade and find it a pain in the patootie. The herbs get caught between the blades and ... well it is more trouble than it is worth. Mostly I use my trusty big old knife, but sometimes when I'm doing basil or chives, I'll use scizzors.
