I promised another giveaway and here it is! This week, I have a lovely assortment of Microplane products for one lucky winner. I’ve been a Microplane user now for nearly ten years and love, love, love their kitchen tools. There’s nothing like their original rasp for grating fresh nutmeg and zesting citrus and the larger graters are fantastic for grating cheese, carrots, potatoes and more.
This gift basket includes one of those original rasps
with a cheery red handle as well as the extra course grater
.
There’s also their new adjustable cheese plane
(it’s awfully snazzy) and a cheese mill
, good for grating harder cheeses.
The last thing in the basket is a Microplane pizza cutter
. The thing that makes this the pizza cutter to top all pizza cutters is that it comes apart for easy cleaning. I use mine often, to score crackers before baking, to slice pastry dough or, this time of year, to cut my favorite holiday cookie. If you’re interesting in a chance to win this assortment of Microplaneproducts, here’s what to do.
- To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this post and share one gift you’re hoping to receive this holiday season (tangible or intangible).
- Comments will close at 11:59 pm eastern time on Saturday, December 10, 2011. Winner will be chosen at random (using random.org) and will be posted to the blog on Sunday, December 11, 2011.
- Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only (apologies to my more far-flung readers).
- One entry/comment per person, please.
For more opportunities to win Microplane products, make sure to like their Facebook page. They frequently host giveaways of their new and classic products.
A blu-ray DVD player with wi-fi. That would be nice.
I’d love to find more time…in my stocking…under the tree…it doesn’t even have to be wrapped. 🙂
What a great giveaway! I am hoping to receive a new book or two about canning to get ideas to use next season – and hoping said book(s) include some help with tropical fruits!
I am thinking I would like a new toaster oven and blender, mine are pretty well worn for all that use in the kitchen!
One gift I’m hoping to receive this holiday season is a sock monkey hat 🙂 Merry Christmas all 🙂
I know it’s cheesy to say, but, I LOVE cheese!! We eat it on EVERYthing… really, I’m not kidding! I just recently started juicing, but want a REALLY nice juicer than the simple one I have now. Do you think cheese can be juiced?? : P
I’m hoping to get a food processor!
Gosh, I really hope I receive a kitchen scale for christmas!
Love microplanes. I’d love to get a new 4 quart saucepan for Christmas. Mine is 25 years old. What a great giveaway.
I want a Vita-Mix!
I hope to get some more red Fiestaware dishes. This giveaway is very neat. I wouldn’t slice my knuckles shreading cheese no more. I also wish for my son’s eye to get to feeling better. Merry Christmas to everyone!
I really would love to be able to go to Cirque du Soliel with my husband for christmas. I really love the microplane products
Oh, I’m hoping for some new knives for Christmas.
I just want everyone to have a Merry Christmas!
I’d really love a Kitchen-Aid for Christmas … but I think that’ll have to wait until next Christmas! 🙂
Getting to see my family, as well as any of the cookbooks on my wish list!
I’m hoping for a few new cookbooks this Christmas.
I am hoping for jars and lids this Christmas to follow up on my first ever canning experience this summer/fall!
I got a recliner as an early present, so my Christmas list is all checked off!
I am hoping to receive an Excalibur Dehydrator 🙂 🙂
Hoping Santa brings some holiday bottles/jars and amazon gift cards for cookbooks I’ve been hankerin’ for.
My Christmas wish is that my husband would clean his office side of our main room. It’s a constant mess, and he refuses to let me touch any of it. (I may just be wishing, otherwise, he’s worth it!) The microplane set looks wonderful, and it’s giving me a good idea for gifts to others (besides homemade healthy food in jars).
What I really want for Christmas is a food mill, or a dutch oven!
I luv my microplane — when I can find it..
My children love it also. Then it is a race to locate. Wonderful utensil. I know what the children are getting for Christmas. I would love to get an electronic pressure cooker.
I love, love, love your blog! The giveaways are quite the bonus as well. One thing I’d love this Christmas is…a serviceberry bush! I’m trying to plant “snack foods” around the house for my littles. That way, they don’t keep running in and out when they’re playing! ;D
Macaron cookbooks…the best little cookies!
I’m just hoping my mom forgoes her annual Holiday Meltdown. Anything else is gravy.
I hope Santa,(or my husband) gets me an oven thermometer for Christmas. We just moved into a new house and I am certain this old oven is not correct. I know they are only a few bucks but I never remember when I’m at the store and I asked for one, so hopefully it’ll work out for me 🙂
I put close to 20 cookbooks on my Christmas wish-list, so receive even a few would really make my holiday!
I can’t imagine my kitchen without my original microplane (no handle).
In a dream world I would love a new fancy kitchen, but I would settle some glass tuberware and some nice new pots!
Microplanes hold a special place in my heart – great giveaway!
I just bought my first horse so I’m hoping to get a few goodies for him.
I love Microplanes. I hope I get more canning jars
iPhone 4S … love Siri!
What is funny is that my wife and I asked for a cheese grater but I would really enjoy the 5lb slab of pork belly that is on my list. It’s definitely a food filled Christmas list and season.
My only holiday wish is to hear from a long-time friend who remains married to an abusive husband and know she is okay. So so sad.
All I want for Christmas is for my family and friends to have a great, healthy, and happy holiday season!
i’m hoping that someone (i’m not picky) has noticed my voiced desire for a stick blender.
I’ve been dying for a wireless mouse. I really hope my family comes through on this one!
What a super giveaway! Hmmm, what would I like for Christmas? I would be more than happy with anything kitchen/food/preserving related. A case of canning jars is worth its weight in gold to me.
What a neat giveaway! My Christmas preasent actually came early this year – I flew out to Okinawa, Japan to visit my sister.
I’m looking to get some socks for the holidays! Best part of christmas!
Nice giveaway! I would love to get pregnant for Christmas!
I am hoping for one of the counter top doughnut makers! (the ones that look like a waffle maker!)
I hope to receive a canning book!

Gosh, since I’m a new full-time student (at age 35) the best gift would be straight A’s lol. Oh, and a bigger pressure canner.
I am hoping for a sodastream soda maker so i can enjoy carbonated water anytime.

I’d love a Bruins Stanley cup hat – sorry to all you Philadelphia fans.
An automatic car starter!
I’m hoping to get a Vita Mix so I can make the delicious-looking recipes I see on food blogs 🙂
Oh I would love a Le Creuset dutch oven!
I’m hoping for a nice coffee grinder. Time to go with fresh ground!
I was just lamenting the fact that I do not own a rasp – perfect timing! I’m hoping to get an REI gift card this year, or new tires for my Jeep. Neither will happen, but I can dream, can’t I? 🙂
I love all micro-plane products and give them as gifts to my daughter-in-laws!
My gift wish…peace and good will in congress!
I would love a camera, and some good books.
I’d love to get a Soda Stream machine.
A set of bed sheets is perfect for me!

And whirled peas. 😀
One word: chocolate!!!
I’m dying for a preassure canner! Oh a pony as well.
I’m hoping to receive a new bookshelf in my kitchen to store the ever growing library of cookbooks! And a running jacket for winter.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. I would be ecstatic if that is all I got for the holidays.
I’m hoping to get a jam pan. I’ve been using my cast iron dutch oven, and it really only works for small batches.
Love Microplane products! I am hoping to get a better camera so I can take pictures to be proud of.
I love my one microplane grater. I would like a salad servers of some sort- tongs, spoons – wooden preferably.
Happy holidays!
Tangible-espresso maker, intangible/not likely–to sleep in until 8, or a nap!! Not going to happen with 3 little ones!!
I’d love to receive a new food processor..mine died just two weeks ago and I miss it! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
For Christmas this year, I’d love to receive a set of really sharp knitting needles. Wish Microplane made those!
I’m just looking forward to sharing my home-canned goods with friends and family who will enjoy them. So I guess I want to receive the gift of sharing my bounty. And maybe a little extra time to spend reading canning blogs. 🙂
I actually asked for an extra coarse microplane….but i’d love that basket!
I wanted (and have already received) a Staub dutch oven for Christmas this year. I’ve been asking for this for so long, I’ll have to actually come up with new ideas next year.
I’m hoping for a cast-iron double burner griddle. We make a lot of pancakes with 5 children in the house.
I’m hoping for a pressure cooker!
i am hoping to get a laptop for Christmas 😀
I am hoping for some attachments for my Kitchen Aid … like the meat grinder with the fruit/vegetable kit too for making easier applesauce:)
Hmmm….. someone under the mistletoe? 🙂
Realistically….tickets to see Rent on Broadway and a drawing from my nephew.
I am hoping to get a pair of boots for Christmas.
I actually really hope I get a matching set of tupperwear this year and maybe some baking supplies like fondant.
The present I’m looking forward to is waking up to open presents at our first Christmas tree of our very own.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I’m hoping for a few new cookbooks about canning/using garden produce… but now that I’ve seen that snazzy pizza slicer, I might be rethinking my list…
Stand Mixer is at the top of my list. I think there is a good shot I will be very happy in a few weeks 🙂
I want gift cards to Dharma Trading or BLick art OR this giveaway since I seriously need these utensils!
Marissa – Thank you so much for the inspiration and recipes and great photos you give to us. It has helped make better preserves.
If there was a wish, it would be for a new wheelchair for my son.
I am giving fresh homemade sauerkraut to a lucky few friends who I know will enjoy it!
I would really like to receive a little peace of mind, honestly. It’s been a tough year, and I’m ready to move on to bigger and better things. Peace to you and yours!
I canned for the first time this year – tomatoes, pasta sauce, salsa, peaches, and pear sauce – and I am so happy to have found your blog. I’m hoping to get a dehydrator to experiment with making dried fruit and jerky.
Is it too much to ask for an end to global warming? OK; I’ll settle for a food mill.
I’m hoping just to spend time with family and friends relaxing and having fun!
I guess I am hoping for gift cards so I can buy new clothes for work. It’s not very funny, but it is pretty necessary!
I’m hoping for some recognition and fun family time.
I’m hoping for the newest books by one of my favorite authors: Seanan McGuire’s One Salt Sea and (her alter ego) Mira Grant’s Deadline.
Scanning the comments section has given me some great ideas on what to put on my holiday wish list! I was pretty undecided, but the top two things I’d like are an immersion blender, and some homemade goodies from someone’s kitchen. I’ll giving many homemade goodies this year, and it would be nice to get some in return. 🙂
I have always wanted a microplane for zesting and whatnot. I just use the smallest side on my box grater…doesn’t really work as well lol. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m not really wishing for anything particular this Christmas, though I am itching to travel somewhere, anywhere. 🙂
