	Fresh Herb Keeper This is our favorite culinary herb tool. Keeps herbs fresh in the refrigerator. Easy to use: just place a small amount of water in bottom and fill with fresh herbs such as parsley, rosemary, sage, mint or thyme. The herb keeper holds herbs upright and provides adequate air circulation while keeping delicate leaves out of the water. Nicely boxed for gift-giving. We have a demonstration keeper on display at our shop and it keeps herbs fresh for several weeks without even being in the refrigerator. $13.00

In each test the Zyliss Susi Garlic Press came out number one.
