A passionate and very serious home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". I am not a trained chef, but I love to cook, and love to collect kitchen gadgets.

What a wonderful little gadget this thing is. How did I ever live without it? It has so many uses. The ones that I have identified in the last few days are as follows:

1. Shaving truffles (try earth.com for your truffles if you don't have a Wegman's)
2. Shaving Parmesan cheese for Carpaccio,
3. Making Chocolate Curls for Chocolate Mousse
4. Shaving Fennel and Red Onion for Orange and Fennel Salad
5. Shaving Summer Squash for "faux" fettuccini pasta

I think the possibilities for this little gadget are almost endless.

The thickness of the slice is very easy to modify with a thumbscrew on the face of the saver. The blade itself appears to be removable for changing of sharpening. The product is make of 18/10 stainless and is very easy to clean. Finally, the device is very thin and stores easily in a drawer. It is such an attractive item I might just hang mine in the kitchen from the handy hole in the handle.

If you love Microplanes or similar hand graters pick one of these up. I adore mine.
