Hands down one of my top 5 tools in the kitchen.  I LOVE my microplane and have gifted it so many times because I’m convinced everyone should have one.  Some may be asking, “Micro what?”…simply put it’s a long grater/zester that’s wonderful for an array of ingredients.  I use mine most often for hard cheeses like Parmesan, grating nutmeg over homemade eggnog (my husband’s specialty), lemon zest, and ginger.

You can buy yours HERE.

The microplane on the left is the most standard basic one and the others are newly acquired ones that I’ve added to my collection.
