Product Description

An elegant and popular breakfast option at European hotels and resorts, the Flocman Electric Grain Flaker delivers the flaked grains you want, when you want them. Its high-performance motor is virtually noiseless, and the tapered roller is made of stainless steel, suitable for crushing many types of grain (although corn is not recommended). The Flocman can even be used to crush oil seeds and spices. Now you can have fresh flakes and cereals without preservative or additives – just whole grain goodness at the flick of a switch.

Like freshly ground flour, freshly flaked grains are far superior to their commercially packaged counterparts. Not only are nutritious vitamins and minerals retained, but you also keep the creamy, delicious flavor of the grains. Pre-packaged oats are preserved by treating them with steam and then heat-rolling them. By removing valuable germ oils, manufacturers ensure that the flakes won’t go bad as quickly, but they sacrifice flavor and nutritional value. But when you “do it yourself” and flake your own grains, you access the full flavor of the grain and take full advantage of its valuable oils.

As a soft grain that can be easily flaked, fresh oats are a popular breakfast staple, but the Flocman can just as easily flake wheat, quinoa, rye, barley, buckwheat or millet. Fresh flakes can be eaten as Birscher Muesli or as a raw or toasted cereal. They can also be used for baking and cooking, substituting flakes for flour. You can use them for bread, pancakes, or soups. The possibilities are endless! Elegantly designed and crafted from solid beechwood, the Flocman Electric Grain Flaker is both stylish and durable. Its specially designed, hand-made ceramic bowl is built to last, and the entire unit is backed by a 12-year limited warranty.
