Microplane Graters & Zesters
Microplane has changed the world of grating and zesting as we know it. Inspired by woodworking rasps, their ingenious team came up with an incredibly useful kitchen prep tool that perfectly grates a large variety of foods with ease. They evolved many lines of their grating products to include something for everyone. They offer professional graters, fun colored paddle graters, a classic line, a gourmet line and a premium classic line - all in the name of grating. While the blades on each line are incredibly similar, the shapes, handles and outer composition differ across the different lines to suit different chef’s needs and skill levels.
Perfect Gifts for Young Chefs
Cooking and preparing meals in the kitchen is a great pastime of many young people. It’s also a way for families to hand down traditions and heirlooms in the form of recipes. From baking with grandma to helping mom with dinner, we all started somewhere in the kitchen with a family member who knew more than we did. For me, cooking was always the best way I could express my creativity. I never really thought of myself as an artist, but my husband constantly tells me that what regularly comes out of our kitchen is a work of art. I’m still on the fence about that one.
This got me thinking about gifts that are perfect for young chefs. Be it a pre-teen or teenager in your home, a college student who is just getting started in their own kitchen or a couple who is just getting married, there are certain tools that make great gifts for these individuals. In fact, I’m pretty jealous that I did not receive any of these during those years, but luckily it didn’t hamper my desire to cook and be in my kitchen.
