Microplane

Oh how I love thee!
microplane
Do you have a Microplane?  I think it's the best zester ever.  It's also brilliant for grating nutmeg or parmesan or even chocolate.   I had mine out the other day to grate some nutmeg into my cheese sauce.   My mom tried to tell me how great her Oxo zester was until I bought her a Microplane.  She's a convert.

Timely post. My visiting mum pulled mine out of the drawer (she gave it to me a couple of years back) and asked if I had used it yet or was I still in mortal fear of getting a skin finger. It is sensational for lemons. And such a fine zest too. I should get more adventurous than citrus...

Oh I just love mine, we have 2 in different sizes! Use them all the time. I love freshly grated nutmeg, there really is no comparison!

Obviously I am deprived because I have never even seen one. Looks pretty serious though!
