I will email you to get your information!

If you’ve never heard of Microplane kitchen tools before, then PLEASE, don’t click away!! 

I’ve been using Microplane tools for several years already and simply love how useful they are around my kitchen. One of my favorite uses is zesting lemons with their Ultimate Citrus Tool, but there are just so many other uses for these amazing products as well.

 

Here are some of my favorite Microplane tools — and yes, there’s a giveaway!!

1. Microplane Cheese Mill:

I love this tool because it’s so much easier to use than a rotary-style grater and the old-fashioned box graters that always cut my knuckles. The Cheese Mill has both a fine and coarse blade, as well as a lid to safely store the unused blade — plus, I guarantee you’ll never slice your knuckles again!

2. Microplane Cheese Plane:

This is the best tool I’ve found for quickly and easily slicing cheese — and I slice LOTS of cheese for our freezer! It works well with both soft and hard cheeses and you can adjust the thickness of each slice with a simple twist of the knob on top of the handle. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

 

3. Microplane Meat Tenderizer:

This brand new, ring-shaped Meat Tenderizer quickly and easily breaks down fibers of tough cuts of meat with its razor-sharp etched blades. It’s also really easy to use because you can simply rock it back and forth over your meat — no more excessive pounding!

4. Microplane Ultimate Citrus Tool:

I saved the “best” for last — my favorite Ultimate Citrus Tool! The one pictured above is their new design which has been enhanced to also include two garnishing blades, and a scoring blade to easily peel citrus fruit. See, I told you it’s a must-have tool for every kitchen!

 

As I mentioned before, these are just A FEW of my favorite Microplane tools… you can see all the different kitchen tools Microplane offers here {and yes, they would all make awesome Christmas gifts!!}

  33. Robin says

    I was so excited to see this giveaway! I have never used a microplane or any of the products included in the giveaway, but I have looked at them at the store many, many times and would like to have the products. They look like they would come in handy whether baking or cooking and with them I would be able to add a special touch to whatever I make. I know that I will love these products as much as you. I enjoy working in my kitchen too!

  34. Rose J. says

    I just sent a friend request to Microplane Kitchen and have liked Simple Organized Living on Facebook although I have received your emails for quite some time now.

  35. Kerrie says

    I’m very intrigued by the cheese grater; we’ve resorted to buying grated cheese on sale because it was too much of a chore and we had to decide between less cheesiness or extravagence.

  36. Rose J. says

    Love Microplane. I have been using their kitchen products for years as well as their products that keep my feet feeling fabulous. My favorite is actually the Microplane Ultimate Citrus tool.

  38. Judy says

    I have not heard of Microplane before. I would like to try the cheese mill.

  39. Sharon says

    I like both you and Microplane on facebook (Rust Hawk). Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway!
