Using Microplane

Microplane's are perfect kitchen tools to zest citrus fruits, grate cheese finely for soups or shave vegetables for salads. A microplane grater is a kitchen tool that grates a number of ingredients through a series of small, etched teeth, rather than the stamped teeth, commonly found in a traditional grater. The razor sharp teeth of the microplane create an immense amount of control over the grating process, and can also be used for a range of things from fruits and vegetables to spices. The teeth are be made in various sizes, to allow you to delicately zest citrus fruit, create ribbons from vegetables, or coarsely grate cheese.
