[...] 4 Awesome Microplane Kitchen Tools :: Holiday Giveaway [...]
I don’t yet own a Microplane, but I have heard only good things about them!
Eating raw has been a real test to my hand and wrist muscles. They get quite a workout every day. :o)
Owning these tools would definitely ease some of the stress on my hands and wrists.
Plus they are REALLY pretty!!! :o)

Amaizing giveaways! i have not owned any of the microplane products yet, but have had my eye on them for a while–trying one out would be delightful… especially the peeler, since my favorite that I’ve had for years had recently misteriously disappeared.
Happy Holidays.
If I had a microplane grater, I would grate vegetables and eat salads until my hands [almost] fell off!
I don’t have any microplane tools, but I would love to get one so I can expand my culinary skills! And I love that they look to be of the highest quality, most of my tools are pretty cheap and likely to fall apart shortly!
wow, what a great give-a-way! i love my “classic” microplane. It has helped me get citrus zest quite a bit faster than with my old not-so-good grater. I would love to try those other products too!
I don’t have any Microplane tools yet but I’d love to have some! I cook all our meals from scratch so I spend a lot of time cutting, grating, peeling, etc and these would be a real boon!
I would love to have the microplane peeler. The peeler I have now was made in the 1940s, I think. It’s all metal and digs into my hand, OWWW! This one looks so comfortable.
Cheers!
Hi,
I would LOVE to own a Microplane anything, since I would liek to learn how to cook and could use some tools that actually work!
Can’t say I own any microplane yet, but they look great and I love the easy grip handles. Would love to own some of their tools!
I have a zester, and I use it all the time because I love citrus flavor in dishes!
I don’t have a microplane, so I use a knife – can’t say it works all that well!! :-)
Thank you Microplane AND Ingrid : ) These are so cool! I don’t own any Microplane products but would LOVE pizza cutter or grater, oh who am I kidding, I would LOVE them all : )
Thanks for the chance to win Ingrid! You are always so generous with your giveaways!

I have a microplane zester and it is the best. I use it at least once a day. I would love to win this awesome giveaway!
How generous to giveg away multiple sets! I don’t have any Microplane products but they look great — I like how the handles look ergonomic and comfortable. I’m curious what the serrated peeler is like, looks pretty interesting!
I own the classic zester/grater. I can’t imagine life without it (well, maybe I can, but I sure would miss it in the kitchen). I think it’s the best tool ever for zesting citrus. I also use it for ginger. I don’t have any of the other tools; but they look great, and I would love to win them! Thanks for the opportunity.
Ooo, I love my microplane zester! I zest all sorts of citrus delicacies to perfection.
I have never tried microplanes before, but they look amazing!! Thanks for the chance!

I don’t own any of these products but would love to! They have such great quality and really cut down on time and the possibility of injury.
Cutest serrated peeler!
I think I told you this before, but my fave Microplane gadget is a classic Zester/Grater I inherited from my Mom. She saw my Dad using one in his workshop, and was all “Hey, I need one of those in my kitchen.” True. It was originally designed for woodworking. She got a new one. Dad got to keep his. Everyone was happy. :D
Currently I don’t own any Microplane tools, and to be honest, this is the first I have heard of this brand. I do love what I see, however, and love the ergonomic design of the pizza cutter. I suffer from repetitive strain injury and have had four operations on my rt hand and arm, which kind of prohibits alot of the chopping, grating etc… unless I can recruit a teenager or hubby to help. These tools would be so awesome to try out, they are visually appealing and not too hard on the hands :)
I have the long thin microplane, and use it for zesting citrus, shredding fruit, chocolate, and more. They’re great tools!
I don’t own any Microplane products yet, but I’d love to! Most of my cutting/slicing utensils are okay, but not really high-quality. I know these would do a better job in less time than the ones I currently own!
I don’t own any Microplane products and would like to win because I want to use good quality things in my kitchen, not the junky ones I have now.
i’ve been dying to try one of these. my sister owns the peeler and loves it
I have the classic microplane and absolutely adore it for citrus zest. I don’t think any other grater makes it quite as fluffy!
I would love to win these other pieces to round out the collection!
I’ve never used these kitchen tools but they look sleek and easy to use
I peel potatoes several times a week using a dangerous instrument of torture and I have had my eye on the Microplane easy prep straight peeler for some time—with the economy and the holidays I’ve just not been in a position to spend on myself for a rather long time. Thanks for the chance to win.

I have no microplane items, but a coworker brought one in to grate some cheese for chili dogs. I would love one for that, since I spend a fortune on shredded cheese.
Thanks for the giveaway >^..^<
I would love to own these as I have carpal tunnel and need all the help I can get with making raw foods. I am hoping that the more I eat raw foods my carpal tunnel of 25 years will lessen and maybe even heal.
Thanks.
I don’t own any yet but have heard only great things about them. They’ve been on my wish list a while.
I would like to own a Microplane grater because they look easier to use than the one I have. They are also better quality.
Nice blogpost, good looking weblog, added it to my favs!
don’t own one and would love to see what the hoopla is all about
What a very nice giveaway!
I have the microplane zester too…I luv adding zest to recipes….it freshens up the flavor…yum!
Bee Happy!
I don’t own any of these great products but would like to have some as all of my kitchen utensils are getting so old and need replacing. thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
I don’t own any but I would love the pizza cutter. We’ve very fond of pizza here and this would really come in handy.
I don’t own a Microplane tool, but would love to have one. I eat alot of salads and having one of these would sure save me alot of time

Thanks so much for the opportunity! I don’t own any of their kitchen tools but I would love to have one because right now most of mine are the cheap ones that you buy at a dollar store!!
What lovely tools that are being offered in this giveaway :) I currently have a long microplane and I use it for zesting lemons and limes. I do not know much about the other tools. I have no knife skills to speak of LOL so I am up for anything that would help me in the kitchen. andra
Ooohhhhh… I have been absolutely dying to try a microplane grater and peeler. Since it is the holidays, what a perfect way to top all of my favorite treats that with freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon! Happy holidays! :)
i don’t know which i do more… zest lemons or fresh nutmeg :)
I don’t own any Microplane kitchen tools but I would love to try them out. These tools look so well made and I like the classy looks too.
I do not own any of them, but I would love to. I’m a college student with my first apartment, so I basically have nothing kitchen-useful yet. I’m slowly trying to build up my repetoire. I would love to entertain my friends, and making fun dishes would be infinitely easier with these tools!
I own a classic zester and grater and my favorite uses for it are citrus zest, ginger, and the occasional fresh nutmeg
Well I can’t quite answer either question, I have a Microplane Classic Series Premium zester & grater on its way to me now, but it’s not here yet. I put grated citrus in almost every baking recipe as well as all pancakes and french toast I make so I am excited to be getting a replacement for my 20 year old zester I’ve been using since culinary school!
Thank you for the giveaway, I’d love to try more of their tools.
As you can probably tell I am trying to stock up on rawsome kitchen gadgets to make food prep more enjoyable and easy for my wife and I. We have been incorprating more raw foods in to our diet and would love to win any of these wonderful holiday giveaway prizes. We have also started a raw food potluck group and would love to do some raw food demos and find that having good quality tools can help tremendously. I would love to win these great gadgets from Microplane because the look like they are high quality and and very ergonomical therefore easier on the hands and wrist. Jason
I have a martha stewart microplane. I use it for zesting citrus fruits and grating ginger.
I love the pizza cutter!
I’d like to own one to make my raw prep easier.
Eatin veggies and cooking for myself are going to be part of my lifestyle for health reasons.Now I can do it with STYLE!
All the foodies on the wapo chats seem to swear by their microplanes, I would love one for myself.
I don’t own any of these but would like to. They look very comfortable to use
