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?
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?
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?
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!
