Truffle slicers, the buying guide in RGmania's selection

Fall, mushroomseason... truffle season! Whether you are an avid gatherer, or 'simple' eater, of truffles, you probably know that this prized mushroom must be cut using a special tool: the truffleslicer, or truffle slicer. The most state-of-the-art truffle slicers, or truffle slicers, are made of stainless steel, a material that does not oxidize, can be sterilized, allows for thorough cleaning, and almost always has a washer that allows you to decide on the cutting thickness. There are endless debates about the smooth blade and the serrated blade, often for no reason: the smooth blade allows for a slightly thinner cut, while the serrated blade is easier to use for harder truffles.

The truffle slicer is often accompanied by the knife in the case of large truffles, although its use is also recommended on small truffles, since cutting them in half provides an easier surface to work on. In addition to the knife, which can lend a hand in making the truffle more manageable, a very fine mesh grater can sometimes be used. However, the truffle should be grated or sliced directly on the plate, since grating it in a container and then spreading it on the plates loses, especially in the case of fine white truffles. That is why truffle slicers are so important, and that is why RGLife has selected for you the best suggestions from RGmania.
