How to use a microplane grater

A microplane grater is perfect for zesting citrus fruits, or finely grating things like cheese,
garlic or ginger • Set your microplane up on a chopping board or large, flat plate so you
catch everything you’re grating • Hold the microplane firmly by the handle and make sure
the base of it is on the flat surface to hold it steady • Move the food that you’re grating
against the grater, rather than moving the grater itself • Remember to be careful of your
fingers – microplane graters can be very sharp
