Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane Professional Small Shaver
Customer Review: Best grater ever . . . period
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a professional chef but I am a serious cook, and make lots of dishes requiring grated cheese, chocolate, etc. This applies not only to the shaver, but all the microplane professional graters.
I've used the regular microplane shavers and graters for years with great satisfaction, but the company has cured every previous design issue (hard to call them flaws) in this model and its counterparts. First, it's longer with a stainless handle and frame which will hook over a large bowl or sit on a plate or cutting board at an angle on its rubber covering on the end without sliding on. Second, it comes with a permanent plastic cover that says what it's for (useful if you have various of them) that keeps it from getting dulled by anything else in the drawer, and it has a ring that hangs great on hooks.
This is by far the greatest grating product I've ever seen or used, with its improvements (the old design wasn't bad, but the grater rested on a plastic frame and will eventually break). Do yourself a favor and get the whole range. Give them to friends who love to cook. There is nothing so satisfying in cooking as having a perfect tool. The shaver does a great job on dark chocolate or fruit for garnish, as well as (especially) hard cheeses. It's also easily the greatest zester I've ever seen.
One caveat -- do yourself a favor and get yourself a cook's glove with kevlar or steel mesh. You will save your fingers a lot of wear and tear (this thing is SHARP), and you will prove that a great cook puts his or her blood into each dish is only a metaphor.
Description of Microplane Professional Small Shaver
This professional small shaver grater is perfect for shaving chocolate, parmesan and other hard cheesesGarnish a layered fudge cake or litter mushroom ravioli with fresh, salty Parmesan cheese using Microplane?s stainless-steel grater. This professional grade kitchen tool caters to hard foods and produces flavorful 1/2-inch curls. Keeping fingers at a safe distance, hold shaver at an angle and run food in a downward motion over the grating plane. 21 razor-sharp blades, staggered on the arched cutting surface, cut effortlessly and resist clogging for continuous grating. A band of rubber encircling the bottom edge prevents slipping and provides stability. The stainless-steel handle features rounded edges for a comfortable hold and finishes with a small metal loop to simplify storage. Measuring 13-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches, this tool carries a polished shine and is dishwasher-safe. To protect against dulling, cover cutting surface with accompanying plastic blade guard when not in use. --Amy Arnold
