Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1
   One of my all-time favorite kitchen tools is the Microplane classic zester/grater, which makes some of the most daunting tasks in the kitchen, such as mincing garlic or ginger, effortless.
2. Step2
   Originally a woodworking tool, the extremely sharp blade, made of surgical-grade stainless steel, grates even the hardest Parmigiano Reggiano and other hard cheeses into fine lacy wisps ideal for topping your favorite spaghetti and meatballs or a Caesar salad.
3. Step3
   It's also great for zesting citrus to add natural flavors to a lemon crème brulee or a basic vinaigrette. Take care to only grate the colored rind, not the bitter white pith.
