Fresh, naturally sweet rolled oats or stale, chemically-preserved flakes: Which sound better for your breakfast? If you like the fresh idea, Eschenfelder's personal-sized grain flaker is right up your alley. Its hand operated design brings an ingenious engineering approach to grain flaking. Rather than using traditional cylindrical rollers, the German-made flaker has exposed, stainless steel rollers that rotate in a cabinet of laminated beechwood / Hopper - American Walnut . The crank turns easily, and the flaker makes a hearty flake from oat groats (oats with the hulls removed) that's thicker and chewier than store-bought flaked oats.

Whether baked, cooked or raw, food tastes so much better when it's fresh—and oats are no exception. A variety of other grains can be flaked too with the Eschenfelder flaker, including wheat, rye, barley and millet, with a little preparation. These grains are normally dry and hard. To soften them, hold them under running water briefly in a strainer. Then spread the grains on a cloth or towel to let them dry over night or for at least 3-4 hours. This time will vary depending on the grain used, but a little experimentation will help optimize the process. The softened grain will flatten nicely into flakes, similar to commercially available rolled oats. At the same time this contact with water starts an enzymatic process which makes it easier for your metabolism to assimilate the minerals in the grain.

The hopper capacity is 7 oz. A supplied clamp secures the Eschenfelder flaker to your table or counter (up to 1-7/8" thick). Then just fill the hopper you're ready to start flaking.
