The Microplane was one of the first kitchen tools that I was introduced to when I starting getting serious about cooking. It is one of the most useful products out there, and I am always surprised by how few people know about it.
The tool consists of a stainless steel sheet with tiny blades shooting off of it—like a mini cheese grater. However, because of the size of the microplane’s many blades, it is much more functional than a cheese grater. Indeed, the tool will help someone grate Parmesan onto a steaming bowl of pasta, but also it can expertly zest citrus, grind garlic, and shave carrots and onions. It even makes beautiful chocolate shavings to give any dessert a professional touch.
Microplane’s are not difficult to find either. Williams Sonoma has a wide variety of them, as does Bed, Bath, and Beyond. And, not only does its ergonomic shape help to grate unusually shaped veggies, it also makes a great stocking stuffer.
