The story of how the microplane became one of the modern cook's most indispensable companions.
EK: Your tools work for everything from dusting cinnamon to curling butter to totally transforming ginger. What’s your favorite Microplane tool and use for it?I use the classic zester about three times a week. It’s a great housewarming or wedding gift. Microplanes can elevate and change your cooking style. It’s important to buy sharp tools. We often hear that using a Microplane zester for the first time is a life-changing moment.
The ginger tool might be my favorite. I love using fresh ginger in everything now. I’ve used other ginger graters, and this one’s superior in every way. The juice doesn’t separate from the ginger! You can also use it to slice baby carrots over salad—they look stunning. My hand-held ribbon grater is bi-directional and creates pretty cheese curls. It’s efficient, grating the cheese as you push and pull over the blade. I use it to add veggies to salads and apples or zucchini to pancake batter.
EK: Certain ingredients, like garlic, are trickier to clean off a Microplane blade than others. Do you have any tips for easy cleaning and care?You can usually give the tool a soft tap over a bowl, cutting board, or pan to loosen up residuals. And one customer recently suggested using the handle of your spoon or fork to clean the crevices. To clean, we suggest immediately running under hot water.
