There is nothing like a bowl of fresh muesli or porridge made of freshly-rolled or flaked oats for breakfast in terms of their health benefits. These are known to combat cancer, hypertension, and diabetes. To be able to prepare them, you need an efficient flaker. If it also looks good, that would be a bonus.
The Eschenfelder Table-Mounted Manual Flaker would appear to fit the bill. It has two shiny stainless steel rollers that are easy to clean. They are also resistant to rust or corrosion. One of the rollers is activated by a long hand crank. This terminates in a wooden handle that is comfortable to the grip. And because of its length, it is practically effortless to rotate.
The second roller is friction driven. Once the grain fall from the hopper and are embedded in between the rollers, it starts rotating to produce, along the with the first roller, rolled grain. As the rollers are infinitely adjustable, you can have the thickness or thinness you prefer with your flakes.
They do not just process oats. This Eschenfelder flaker can also handle wheat, rye, buckwheat, rice, barley, spelt, other wheat-sized dry grain, and even oily seeds like sesame, flax, and sunflower seeds. Based on an average of 80 revolutions of the rollers per minute, the flaker can produce 110 grams of oat flakes.
The rollers are securely affixed to an elegant-looking frame finished in beech wood. The frame consists of four posts standing on a solid wood base and supporting the hopper. In between these are the rollers and the funnel catching rolled grain and directing them to a receptacle. For the hopper, you have a choice of either wood or metal.
The flaker is 9 inches long including the handle. It is 5 inches wide, and 9.75 inches tall.
