We’re offering 10 lucky people the chance to win a NEW Microplane Chili Mill. An innovative kitchen tool that grates dried chillies with precision to release essential oils.

The Microplane® Chili Mill features pioneering photo-etching technology. The ultra-sharp stainless-steel blades, or teeth – made in USA – effortlessly grates a variety of dried chilli peppers, without ripping or tearing. The chillies are evenly and precisely milled and the essential oils are released to add heat and a wonderful depth of flavour to a wide range of sweet and savoury dishes.

Dried flakes and whole dried chillies can be found in most large supermarkets. Pick the ones that are still pliable as these will have the best flavour to add a punch to a pasta sauce, spice up an eggy breakfast or add a gentle warmth to a rich chocolate cake.

With a luxurious silk feel grip for comfort and stability, the new Chili Mill is incredibly easy to use. Hold on to the stainless steel ring and turn to open. Place the dried chillies in the cavity and click the top back into place. The Precise Pressure™ Engineered Tension Spring applies optimum pressure to the dried chillies for perfect grating, and there’s a handy silicone cap to avoid mess when the Mill is not in use.

Coveted by both professional chefs and home cooks, Microplane products are available from Harts of Stur and independent cookshops nationwide.
