Back in June 2020, the Hot in Cleveland alum shared a video with Shop Today showing off her favorite kitchen appliances. They shared the video with the caption: “Valerie Bertinelli shares 5 gadgets everyone should have in their kitchen. Have you become a quarantine chef? Check out Valerie Bertinelli’s five essential kitchen essentials.”

While we know she loves some of Rachael Ray’s kitchenware and select Le Creuset pots; but our interest was piqued when she showed off a tool she uses “every day,” she says. Now you might think that this tool has a high price tag, but you would be wrong because it currently costs less than $20 on Amazon.

The Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester Grater is a versatile and essential kitchen tool that you should always have on hand. As Bertinelli said in the video, she uses this to season whatever she can to add flavor to her dishes. You can use this tool to add flavor to anything you deem necessary, from vinaigrettes, salads, pasta, and baked goods to name a few. Speaking of versatility, this razor-sharp tool can slice through anything from ground spices to hard fruits (and if you’re feeling a little tired, don’t forget to invest in cut-resistant gloves!)

According to the brand, to use this dishwasher-safe tool, all you have to do is grip the easy-grip handle and walk back and forth whatever you’re scraping for that condiment!

Well, Bertinelli isn’t the only one who loves this tool. With over 37,000 reviews (and over 36,000 five-star ratings), this has become a staple in many shoppers’ households. One buyer also said he used it every day, saying “I love my microplane. Use it every day. I’ve tried many other brands. No comparison to the micro plane. I have a Microplane cheese grater that I have had for several years and it is still very sharp and grates like brand new.”

The story goes on

Another buyer added: “I don’t know how I lived without him before. I use it almost every day. Very nice product.”
