October 06,2024

Ginger, we love you so: You add plucky bite to our curries, a little chew to our molasses cookies, and some zip to our chai. But, let’s be honest, peeling this versatile root’s a real hassle, right? Enter this 3-in-1 ginger tool. You can remove the skin effortlessly with the plastic nub on the side, which also reduces the heat of the flavor just a smidge. The grating feature retains all the oils in the ginger meat and keeps it from turning into an unwieldy mush. Oh, and it’s got a tiny built-in mandolin slicer for thicker pieces. Pair it with the sharp-as-can-be stainless steel zester/grater and you’ll have the coolest tools in the drawer.

Crafted using original Microplane stainless steel etched blades, the seriously sharp and efficient 3-in-1 Ginger Tool is the only gadget needed when cooking or baking with ginger. The rasp-like tool features a peeler on the side to quickly remove the peel of knobby, fresh ginger root. A wide panel incorporating Microplane's top-selling Fine blade, makes fast work of grating ginger, and a razor-sharp, angled blade towards the bottom of the tool thinly slices ginger with ease and precision.
