Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane 38006 Professional Series Large Shaver
Customer Review: Creatively useful but requires your creativity and experimentation
Summary: 4 Stars
The Microplane graters come in different series and there are so many kinds of blades, so you may find it hard to choose one that you need.
About the size, shape, grip and other overall design of the 38000 series, these graters are very well thought out and executed. They are very convenient to use on a bowl, a pan, and a cutting board. They are also very easy to use on the serving dishes in the last steps of presentation.
At the time of this writing, I have used 3 products in 38000 series, plus the slider attachment. I bought different graters so that I can experiment with all sorts of ingredients to make novel garnishes, or something interesting that people wouldn't think of. The manufacturer says this shaver is good for chocolate and hard cheese, but I was hoping that it should work with vegetables and other things to make pretty flakes. One of my conclusions is: when they say this grater/shaver is good for such and such, you'd better believe it. Does it work just as well with other ingredients? It's hard to predict without experimenting. A lot of hard vegetables didn't work well, but some soft ones did. This is sometimes because it gives pieces of wrong size, wrong thickness, etc., and sometimes because the ingredient is too fibrous, not stiff enough or easily breakable. Anyway, you are entitled to experiment with this shaver and you may find interesting results, if you aren't discouraged by many things you can't shave nicely on this product. Some of my findings: shaved ginger flakes are nice, but depending on the direction of the fiber in the ginger, it may not be as pretty; try different sides of the ginger when necessary. Citrus skin can be nicely shaved to make flakes that are larger than what you get from the zester. This is very nice on top of chunky soup, grilled fish, what not. My conclusion two is: besides shaved chocolate and shaved parmigiano reggiano, this shaver has a lot of potential for creative uses but none is too obvious and requires some experimentation. (Small grater is at the opposite end, I think---it does exactly what you expect and not much more.)
I may try more graters in this series if I get some idea of how I can make use of other blades.
Description of Microplane 38006 Professional Series Large Shaver
The Microplane Professional Series Large Shaver creates perfect cheese and chocolate curls. Made out of solid 18/10 stainless steel, this grater is easy to clean and elegant. Non-slip rubber feet add stability and protect your plates. Each grater comes with it's own plastic safety cover. Dishwasher safe.Garnish 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 inch-wide curls. Keeping fingers at a safe distance, hold shaver at an angle and run food in a downward motion over the grating plane. Six 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
