This is something that I think everyone needs in their kitchen. The handles come in multiple colors depending on where you purchase them (it just depends on your preference).
I use this for getting zest from any citrus fruit: lemon, lime, orange, etc. It can be used to grate cheese (if you want it very thin). It can be used to shave nutmeg as well. I just don't like nutmeg. =) You cannot use a normal grater for these jobs because the blades are too large to get small zest that gives flavor without being chunks.
Sometimes, garlic can be too big when chopped by hand. If you grate it on the zester, you don't have to worry about chunks of garlic. Also, some recipe ask for grated onion. This tool is great for that as well since the blades are so close together.
It is easy to hold the microplane in one hand and food in the other hand. The handle has a great feeling and it fits perfectly in a hand, no matter the size. It is light-weight and dishwasher safe. Most also come with a cover for the metal portion. This protects 1) you when you reach into that drawer of random gadgets and 2) the blades from catching on anything else in the drawer.
Let me know what you think!
