Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This traditional cheese plane is just one of the high-quality Profi Plus tools WMF makes for every conceivable kitchen task. For properly serving firm cheeses like cheddar, aged Gouda, Swiss, and jack, a cheese plane is essential. It's shaped something like a spatula, with a knife-blade in its center. Draw it across a block of cheese and it neatly peels off a thin slice. Use the spatula part to lift a slice and place it on a plate, cracker, or toast. Contemporary European in style, the 9-1/2-inch plane is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is beautifully balanced, with a satin-finish, cylindrical handle and a heavy-duty hanging loop. Seamless construction ensures cleaning ease. This tool is dishwasher-safe, durable, and a joy to use for serious cooks and novices alike. --Fred Brack

This review is from: WMF Profi Plus Stainless Steel Cheese Plane (Kitchen)

I'm the type of person that goes to the store, and spends 1/4 of the bill on cheese. I LOVE cheese, and I (pretty much) don't make a meal without adding some sharp cheddar somewhere along the way. I have so many cheese planes and slicers, I recently had to devote an entire drawer just to my cheese items (and this doesn't even include my box graters). I normally don't write reviews anymore, but I had to jump in and defend this cheese plane. I happened to pick this up at a local discount store (for just a few bucks), and I loved it so much, I came back to Amazon to get another one.

For slicing sharp cheddar, this item is FANTASTIC, and my personal favorite, but that is because I prefer a very thin slice of cheese. If you are looking for a big hunk-o-cheese, this will not deliver. What it WILL deliver though, is a small, thin, delicate perfect piece of heaven, that melts beautifully when introduced to a little heat. I often melt some cheese on crackers as a snack, and this is the slicer that I use, every time. I also love the indentions the grooves leave behind in the cheese. This helps the cheese slice much better than regular planes (plus it looks great too).

Depending on your task, this product could be just what you need. If you are scouring Amazon for a high quality, easy-on-the-eyes slicer that will repeatedly slice off perfectly-meltable cheesy bits of goodness...then this is definitely what you want.

This is more of a cheese scraper. Try as I might with various angles, the best I can get is tiny little shavings. It looks very euro and sleek but it works so poorly I am ordering a different one tonight. Don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Similar to a cheese plane, October 27, 2001

This review is from: WMF Profi Plus Stainless Steel Cheese Plane (Kitchen)

For some types of cheese, this "plane" may work well. Certainly the Profi looks great, is constructed of high quality materials, and has perfect size and heft. But the engineering of the plane is not perfectly level. This imperfection makes it difficult (or impossible) to slice some crumbly cheddars that I prefer. Works well for some kinds of cheese, but not for all.
