Wüsthof Gourmet 4 3/4-inch Cheese Plane
Effortless and responsive slicing... everytime!
A good cheese plane makes it easy and safe to produce consistently thin, even slices from semihard cheeses. A cheese plane is essentially a small trowel with a blade embedded in the flat head; using even pressure, you simply pull the blade across a cheese wedge or block in order to get a uniform slice of cheese. To find the best cheese plane, we bought nine models priced from $6.75 to $28.00 and put them to work slicing solid blocks of two semihard cheeses, dense cheddar and more-porous Manchego.
Wüsthof Gourmet 4 3/4-inch Cheese Plane
WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This cheese plane produced perfect, clean-edged, even slices of ideal thickness every time. With a comfortable handle, a relatively long blade, and one of the thinnest and most flexible heads in the testing, it was a pleasure to use.
We maintain strict objectivity in all testing.*
