Microplane Classic Zester Grater
Of course it will do a great job giving you lemon, lime and orange zests, but this is used for any case where you need something finely grated or finely chopped. I use mine for garlic, for parmesan, for nutmeg.
Microplane Extra Coarse Cheese Grater
This is perfect for grating the cucumber needed to make my tzatziki sauce or small amounts of grated cheese. If grating a large quantity of anything, see below for the rotary cheese grater!
This makes a super fast job out of any grating job! I first purchased this when I was eating keto and needed to stay away from prepacked shredded cheeses due to the extra potato starch added to the cheese to keep it from clumping. I'd buy a big block of cheese, use the rotary grater to grate it all into a bowl and then package it in quart size ziplock freezer bags. No extra starch, and it's super cost efficient!
GreenPan Swift 8" Ceramic Fry Pan - details
GreenPan Swift 10" Ceramic Fry Pan - details
Bodum French Press - No exaggeration, I've had this bad boy coffee maker now for nearly 20 years! It's the primary way I made coffee for about 10 years, and now that I'm a pour over convert - mostly because it's easier when just making coffee for one - I still use it regularly whenever I'm making coffee for two. These are built to last a lifetime, with the only potential maintenance being occasional replacement of the inexpensive mesh filters.
