An ounce of preventative action . . . .
By UpperDown
I too purchased this glove to use with my mandoline slicer, but now that I have it I use it with my microplane and other feed graters as well. I thought it might be a bit cumbersome, but it’s not at all. I think it’s primary to do not forget that this glove is cut RESISTANT, not cut proof.
The glove fits my hand very well, but I may see that it might be too little for others. I commonly wear a woman’s size little glove. This microplane glove is rather flexible though, and I’m sure it would without apparent effort fit a woman’s size medium or even large. One man’s review here gives evidence of he was struggling but managed to get it on his more spectacular hand. I agree there ought to be one or two other size options, and this is the only reason I didn’t give this a 5-star rating.
It goes without saying that the glove will need cleaning after using it to hold feed versus a slicer or grater. It is machine washable, but not machine dryable. Here’s what I do to clean the glove in amidst machines washings ==> with the glove still on my hand, I squeeze a good deal of liquid soap onto the fingertips of the glove and then wash it under warm running water with the aid of a little kitchen cleaning brush. With the glove still on my hand, I give it a rinse, blot most of the water off with a hand towel, then let it air dry. I’ve had no problem with lingering odors using this or the machine method of washing.

Great Product
By sfnative
Although expensive, this glove is a time and hand saver! I use it regularly when slicing horizontally into onions, shallots, etc. to protect me from cuts when the knife blade slips. It also works great for protecting my fingers and fingernails when I grate cheese on a box grater. Using the Microplane glove means that I may grate gruyere right down to the rind and refrain from nicking my fingers up or having nail polish chips getting into the food.

Good investment!!
By Miss Perry
I absolutly love this. I purchased this to use with my mandolin. It’s a piece of mind knowing that in case I slip with the guard, I have this glove as backup. I think in the near future I’ll buy another glove for the othr hand, just in case I forget and do something stupid with the other hand! Getting cut is no picnic. For me it takes with regards to a week to heal (minor cuts/no tendons involved) and doing my every day chores takes forever.
