I love this time of year! Watching smoke & grill videos I find stuff I can’t believe I lived without! Just got the SNS rubber handle charcoal cherry picker, 😁 no more burning the hair off my arms with tongs 😂. Then next up was the Microplane zester grater twin pack (one for the RV too!). That baby makes easy work of grated cheese and zest! No more rotating the grinder wheel and skipping on the cogs!!!
OK, so read the title real fast 3 times! 🤣🤣🤪

I have a couple of the wood handled pickers. That’s a nice item.
I have one microplane, and I use it almost daily. In all the years of, “Damn, the microplane is in the sink, now I need it and have to wash and dry it, son of a B! that sucker is hard to dry completely,” I never once thought about just buying another one. Duh.
