For decorating
Cut thin slices of vegetables and fruits for easy prepping or to decorate your finished dish.
For desserts
Make chocolate curls to top homemade dessert creations and make cakes and ice cream more enticing to eat, like in this Chocolate S'mores Cupcakes or Last-minute Sundae.
For a yummier salad
Take that block of Parmesan or manchego cheese and shave long, wide strips over salad greens. Try it on this Pasta Chorizo and Mushroom.
