GoKawiilCNET writer says Microplane zester is the one tool worth packing for rental kitchens
A CNET food writer explains she's stopped hauling full kitchen kits to vacation rentals and Airbnbs after finding most are reasonably well-stocked, but she still always packs one specific item: a Microplane zester. She argues that while knives, spatulas and other basics are usually available, this fine grater is rarely provided and has no real substitute for tasks like zesting citrus or grating cheese and garlic.
