Spice ‘n’ easy.
This sleek little grinder’s kinda like the LBD in our spice cabinet. With the same supremely sharp stainless-steel blade that Microplane is so dang famous for, it makes quick work of hard spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. And it’ll even let you control the grind: Just twist the easy-grip top for a whole variety of coarse or fine sprinkles. Oh, and fun fact—it’s got a built-in storage container, too. Pair it with the sharp-as-can-be stainless steel zester/grater and you’ll be set for every seasoning task that comes your way.

Here are our favorite kitchen utensils -- the ones we won't give up in favor of a simpler life. It's funny how so many of our answers are about tools that are just so "satisfying" to use!Click through for pitters, slicers, and choppers galore.
