Food plane for Father's Day
My husband has asked for a food plane for Father's Day. An image search on google yielded nothing useful, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Could anyone direct me to a website that would fill in the blanks for me?

What you are probably supposed to be looking for is a microplane grater. Google that. You'll come up with plenty of hits.

Check out this link, Hovawart. You will see a variety of microplane graters. They are one of the most useful kitchen tools around. I wouldn't be without mine.

It's got to be a MANDOLIN. Why don't you ask him, and impress him with what we've thought it is?
How does he cook? If he loves to slice things, I'll take bets, folks. anyone in? |

Microplane universe!
OK, now I'm on to the right general concept, I have to choose from a dazzling array of microplanes. Any suggestions as to which one or ones would be the most useful?

My microplane is long and thin with a handle. What other types of microplanes are you looking at?

I'd recommend the wider microplane. Mine is 2 x 5 inches or so.
And keep that plastic cover; you can reverse it and slide it on the underside of the microplane... voila! Instant "catcher" for the grated goodies! |
