I use this device for making chocolate ruffles for tops of cakes and desserts. Comes with a mold for making your own chocolate discs, too. NOTE: The key to making nice ruffles is to be sure the chocolate is at the proper temperature. If it's too cold the chocolate will "chip" apart -- too warm and it will not ruffle nicely. To warm the warm chocolate, just place it under a goose-neck lamp for a few minutes and viola!-- the chocolate will be at just the right temperature for ruffling. If its's too warm, a little time in the refrigerator will solve the problem.

i was on the lookout for a Girouette to go with Monk's Head cheese I bought for my DH this Xmas but they are all very expensive. for the actual amount of use this will get, i wasn't crazy about spending $40+ for one. this one popped up as an Amazon Warehouse deal for $30. the box itself had been opened and looked a bit dusty but the item inside appeared new. it works well - does take a bit of practice and getting used to but once you do it produces yummy curls of cheese as promised. DH says this reminds him of his boyhood trip to Switzerland where he ate this cheese daily. he loves it, and i do too! we have not, and probably will not, use this for chocolate curls so can't comment on that.

Girouette was made of poor quality metal, the shaving arm bent very easily while trying to shave chocolate.
The chocolate does not stay in place, making the process very difficult. Not the time saver I had hoped for.
