The Microplane: Probably God's Favorite Kitchen Utensil.

I got a microplane in my stocking for Christmas. Most people don't know what a microplane is. And when they see it, it looks like a torture device. I begged for mine. After watching my dad in the kitchen, and countless Food Network chefs, I learned that sometimes, everyday utensils just don't cut it. You need specific tools for specific jobs. And now, grating parmesan cheese without one just isn't the same. Thus, I chose this photo because it made me think about all the techniques, tools, and ingredients that I had no idea existed until I actively started learning about cooking.
