Won't work with Plantains - wrong bend direction
Unfortunately, the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer does not work with Plantains. Plantains come from the Southern Hemishphere, where the Coriolis effect causes the Plantain to bend the opposite direction. I highly suggest you purchase the (currently unlisted) Hutzler 571-SH Plantain slicer for use in the Southern Hemisphere. It's updated design can handle the reverse bend of the Southern Hemisphere fruits, as well as the occasional left-handed banana.
