Zesters or Microplanes

Using a Microplane for freshly grated citrus zest will change your life! they work so much better than box graters, and you’ll quickly discover that fresh zest is incomparable to dried when it comes to flavor. Microplanes also come in handy for serving. Freshly shaved chocolate, or even a sprinkle of grated lemon, orange, lime, or grapefruit rind, creates a gorgeous finish to a platter of fresh-from-the-oven madeleines.
