June Cooking Tip – A ‘Must Have’ Grater

Microplane Grater

A closer look.

 

If you haven’t seen one of these graters, I highly recommend you look into getting one.  I have had mine for several years and it is the best!  Not only does it do a fantastic job grating parmesan cheese but it is the perfect grater for making lemon, lime or orange zest.  The zest comes out nice and fine so when you add it to dishes or salad dressings, you don’t end up with chunks of rind.  I also use this for grating fresh ginger.  Again it is so fine that the ginger blends nicely into whatever you are making.

I purchased mine at Peppercorn, a local cooking store.  Here is the Microplane website, in case you can’t find it in a store near you. 

I hope you like it as much as I do!
