Microplane Spice Grater

Microplane Grater, Large

Microplanes are the easiest way to freshly grind whole spices.

This is the handiest kitchen gadget to come to market in years. It is based on the principal of a woodworking tool, the rasp, and developed into a kitchen tool. Instead of rough holes punched in tin, this tool has chemically dissolved holes in stainless steel. Each one of its many holes is as sharp as a razor blade, making grinding nutmeg as easy as melting butter in the microwave. Not only that, we have never before seen a tool that grinds both cinnamon sticks or ginger root into a fine powder with no elbow grease required. It's also much safer for your knuckles than a conventional grater!

This handy tool is perfect for zesting any type of citrus, for baking and cooking. It makes excellent zest without any pith.

As a lagniappe, when you purchase this tool, we will give you a little bag with a whole nutmeg, cinnamon stick, ginger and turmeric root. You'll be ready to grind away!
