Do yourselves a huge favor…GET ONE THAT WORKS!
I realize that the goal is to take off zest only, not the white pulp.
I just thought that my son was wrong when he said that my microplane stunk! I spent years struggling, thinking that my new microplane was just the way they were… workin up a sweat to get that coveted Zest. Just thought my fruit wasn’t fresh, but a couple weeks ago I had fresh lemons….it wasn’t that.
But I kept watching the Chefs on TV whipping their way through, gliding with ease. Piles of grated Lemon zest and parmasean. And I was just thinking …what a whimp you must be Mary!
GUESS what! My brand new Micro plane just stunk!
Soooo, I’m at the store today. 63 yrs old and picked one up and touched it…well, if your microplane doesn’t bite you and try, or just about wanna cut you when you press the opposite direction….THROW IT OUT!?
I am now in heaven with not just one , but TWO Good microplane/graters WITH protective sleeves! oh happy dance!???
If you have one of these….GET RID OF IT! Don’t argue, just do it?
