Your nonstick pan could never.
The only thing I wish is that they were more heat-resistant.
But hey, thats metal for you.

Do you have knives that force you to saw back and forth into, say, a sweet potato?

Cuisinart Boxed Grater
Thank you for existing, box graters!
I primarily use mine to grate cheese for cheese-heavy recipes.
I can hear you groaning at your screen thinking about grating cheese yourself.
Yes, its exhausting, but its also worth the delicious payoff.
Enter, this microplane.
I highly recommend getting one that has a handle so that its easier for you to grip.
I found mine at our work giveaway tableI know, lucky mebut these pans also come very well reviewed.
Id order these if I didnt already have one.
Pro tip: Use the slicing handguard to protect yourself.
My still-healing fingers cant stress that enough.
These mesh strainers are also useful for anything from rinsing canned beans to sifting flour.
