Kitchen tools are beloved by any foodie on your list! It’s rare that we find a company which provides the high quality tools at a reasonable price like Microplane does. The company developed in 1994 when a Canadian housewife commandeers one of her husband’s favorite woodworking tools and discovers it effortlessly produces the lightest, most wonderful orange zest she could have ever imagined.
It’s 1994, her Armenian Orange cake is a huge success and her husband’s Microplane® rasp has morphed into a must-have kitchen grater. It seemed as if a star was born overnight, but it didn’t happen quite that fast, in fact, it took over thirty years.
We are very pleased to be sharing some of our top picks from the Microplane line with you all today. These are definitely at the top of our culinary wish lists!
