I thought it would be good to share what I mean when my recipes call for grated or shaves parmesan, and the tools I like to use to do so. I have 2 different Microplanes, the fine grater, and the extra coarse grater. I like using both of these, and they have lots of other uses, like zesting citrus, etc. They are definetely worth having around. I would say the fine grater is a little more useful for me, being that I really love citrus zest. And to “shave” parmesan, a regular vegetable/potato peeler works great.
