25 days of giveaways: microplane kitchen bestseller set
Allow me to introduce you to one of my all-time favorite kitchen tools — a Microplane zester! Mine was actually a stocking stuffer from “Santa” years ago when I was graduating from college. I think that he knew better than I did what essentials I would need to stock my first kitchen!! Of course, years and hundreds of zests later, it is definitely the kitchen tool I cannot do without. For zesting fruits, grating herbs and cheese, and so much more, it definitely works like a pro.
Then about a year ago, I picked up one of Microplane’s newer products — an herb mill! What does an herb mill do, you might ask? Quite simply, it finely chops fresh herbs! And it does a great job!! I use mine constantly, especially when garnishing a dish. (Check out what a great job it did on this pizza). Best of all, it is quick, simple to clean, and a nice alternative to chopping a zillion herbs by hand. Love it. Love Microplane!
So enter the giveaway to win a pair of your own zester and herb mill! Or if you already have one, I happen to know that they make great gifts or stocking stuffers… :)

Hands down, the herb mill is my favorite. I’ve seen it on several food blogs and on Pinterest, and I’ve been wishing for it for forever.
I wish I can win this set. Personally, I don’t had one but I had the chance to use one at my friend home. it’s amazing, so easy to get some zest.
this is brilliant.

I don’t own any microplane products but i would love a super fine grater! nothing like fresh nutmeg!!
I registered for a Microplane zester for my wedding a few years ago, but alas, I never received it and thus have no experience with Microplane products. I’d love to change that, though!

I cannot tell you what my favorite Microplane product is because I don’t own any, but I am in dire need of a zester! I have been resorting to peeling and chopping.. no where near the same super-fine consistency and it takes forever!
This would be my favorite! It’s always such a pain to chop them that finely.
Just posted a link to the giveaway on Facebook :)

This would be amazing to have in the kitchen! I wish I could say what my favorite Microplane product was, but to be honest, I haven’t been on my own too long, and I haven’t had to budget to stock my kitchen. But I would love to be able to test this thing out! :)
I love microplanes! There is something very satisfying about freshly grated nutmeg, for example.

I got a cheap imposter zester/grater, but would really love the microplane one because I hear it’s the BEST
Oh wow, these look amazing! I’m afraid to say I’ve never used even a single microplane tool in my life! I grate my nutmeg on the side of a cheese grater! For shame. Would be great to win these!
Looks amazing! Wow thank you for all the giveaways I do not have any microplane products but will love to have them! Thanks
I’m sad to say I’ve never heard of Microplane, but after reading this post, I will definitely be on the lookout for their products. Winning the Microplane Zester/Grater & Herb Mill would be a fine start.

Loving how that herb mill works! That would be an awesome way to use the herbs in my little garden. And the zester would make quick work of those lemons on the tree–yummy for scones and other goodies.

I don’t get to buy Microplane products as much as I would like but this herb mill is on the top of my “must have” list and I need a new zester/grater, too, because the one I have is not by Microplane :)
I don’t own any microplane products yet, but I will absolutely be adding the herb grinder, the zester, and the meat tenderizer to my wishlist as I build my new kitchen for two!

i have never used Microplane products, but I was just telling my husband how I need a zester. Using the big grater is such a pain!
I have 2 Microplane zesters, one tall and skinny, and one short and wide. That herb mill looks so cool!
I’ve never owned anything from Microplane, but oh my gosh, an herb mill! That would so vastly improve my quality of life, it’s insane.

As a recent college graduate myself – just this semester – I am also in the process of stocking my kitchen with the necessary items. I am also replacing my old, dented pots and pans and looking for a new set of pans. (what’s that?!) I have never heard of Microplane before, but I now know what type of products I will be looking for! I just checked out their website, and I know where my first paycheck will be spent! How did I live without them? I absolutely love to cook, and have been trying my hand at baking recently, too. Zesting is just not happening with my hand grater, which is what I currently attempt to use. The herb mill is also a GREAT idea! I have a small hern garden at my house and I love to cook with fresh herbs. The folks at Microplane are pure genius! Thanks for showing me what a fabulous company they are :)
I don’t own any Microplane products but I would love to have the meat tenderizer, that looks awesome!

Looks like a great addition to a kitchen
My favorite product is the microplane zester! Perfect for adding some extra flavor and freshness into any dish! And works great for some freshly grated cheese!

This is a new introduction to Microplane products for me. After seeing this, I’ve started my wish list!
I would love to try Herb Mill. I have wanted to use fresh herbs, but I’ll admit I’m lazy and don’t really want to cut them all up. This would be perfect!
