If you're like us, you're already using a Microplane to grate Parmesan, or citrus zest, which brightens the dishes in our Passover menu. But there are a lot of other ways to make this indispensable item even more so.
Shave whole cloves of garlic into vinaigrettes and marinades instead of using a garlic press.
Finely grate fresh chiles into sauces and salsas for balanced, evenly distributed heat. Bonus: The small openings on the grater keep seeds out.
Grate peeled fresh ginger before adding to stir-fries; the blades easily turn the stringy rhizome into a smooth paste.
