A new style of grater, known as a microplane, has taken the foodie market by storm. Its design resembles a small metal cricket bat covered in tiny razor-like holes along its length. It is very easy and fast to use, and provides a fine, almost fluffy, shaved grate; it can also be used to grate chocolate, cheese, garlic, ginger and nutmeg. The traditional small grater usually costs just a few dollars, while the newer, bigger grater costs around $40; however, for a keen cook, it’s worth the price.
