" I love grated Parmesan cheese over pasta or salads. For quite some time, my tool of choice for grating has been the Microplane Classic Series. But a new line of Microplane graters has given the classic a run for its money. The Artisan Series features a blade similar to the original, though it&amp;#039;s considerably flatter, wider, and shorter. The metal blade still has the original Microplane design and is made in the US The handle, which is wider and flatter than that on the original, isn&amp;#039;t quite as comfortable or ergonomic. But it does allow for flat storage in a drawer, a big plus. A quick test of both graters showed they produced similar piles of beautifully grated cheese and citrus zest.  The new graters come in blue, white, and grey and are available with four different blades: fine, medium, coarse, and ribbon, which shaves larger shreds of soft cheeses, chocolate, or root vegetables like potatoes. They&amp;#039;re also available in red, yellow, and green exclusively at Sur La Table. At $10 each, they&amp;#039;re a great buy and make a perfect stocking stuffer. No self-respecting Caesar salad or plate of spaghetti and meatballs would be caught dead without a sprinkling of parmesan. For another great kitchen stocking stuffer, look at my co-worker Sharon Franke&amp;#039;s blog on the best kitchen spatula. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
