Prepara herb-savor keeps herbs fresh for 3 weeks
I was reading I.D. magazine when I stopped on page 46. On the middle of the page was the coolest piece of product design since the Dyson vacuum — a kitchen tool called the herb-savor.
How many times have you purchased fresh thyme, oregano or sage, used a small amount and put it in the fridge to wilt until it becomes compost? Okay, if you don’t cook then the answer is never. I love to cook and I’m always throwing out herbs that have turned black and slimy.
Prepara’s tagline is ‘chef’s performance tools’ but I prefer ‘awesome kitchen gadgets’. They also make a cookbook holder called the chef’s center — another must have item for the chefs out there.
Swissmar is the Canadian distributor for Prepara products which might be available at Williams Sonoma. If you’re looking for a great gift for someone that likes to cook then prepara.com is the site to visit.
UPDATE: A representative from Swissmar contacted me to say that you can purchase Prepara products at these stores in Toronto:
- Academy of Culinary Arts
- The Cook’s Place
- Degrees Kitchen Store
- Internet Kitchen Store
- Neat Storage Essentials
- The Peppermill
- Placewares
I checked with The Cook’s Place on Danforth Avenue and they had a few herb-savor’s in stock. This was the only product they carry from Prepara but they were more than willing to order other products if I wanted — great customer service. This is a store that I will be revisiting again soon.
