We are in favor of keeping a clutter-free kitchen. Clunky appliances with only one purpose are not welcome in our cupboards. The Microplane grater/zester is an essential kitchen tool with many purposes. We use it almost every time we cook. It’s easy to clean and leaves no waste.
This multi-tasking wonder can:
- Zest citrus
- Shred hard cheese such as Parmesan, Asiago or Romano
- Grate fresh or frozen ginger (no need to peel!)
- Finely “mince” garlic
- Shave chocolate
- Grate spices such as fresh nutmeg
