Favorite gadget series 2

It's time for another "Oldmarrieds favorite kitchen gadgets!"

Today I want to share with you one of the slickest, sharpest and newest additions to our kitchen, the microplane zester!



What do we use it for?
-grating fresh Parmesan cheese
-zesting lemons and other citrus fruits
-grating dainty chocolate toppings

It is made by the people who make awesome woodworking tools. This means 2 things - first, it isn't the cheapest gadget in our drawer and second, it is the most sharp! I experienced the wrath of the zester last night while grating some delicious aged 18 month Parmigiano Reggiano cheese - my poor thumb knuckle will never be the same!

We bought ours at Bed, Bath and Beyond while shopping for a friend's wedding gift. Isn't that how it always works? You're out shopping for others and you just find the most perfect thing for yourself?!

Don't just take my word for it, read reviews here.
