Chicken Smash Burgers are here to shake up your burger game. Swap the beef for seasoned ground chicken, smash it thin on a hot griddle, and let those golden, crispy edges do their thing. Top with melty cheese, a tangy sauce, and all your favorite fixings — think shredded lettuce, pickles, and a soft, toasted bun. Quick to cook, big on flavor, and perfect for weeknights or weekend grilling.

Your fine grater/zester isn't immortal…but it can last for years if you treat it right. Most rasp-style graters stay sharp at least 3-5+ years with regular home use . But unlike knives, they can’t be sharpened. Those tiny teeth aren't traditional blades. They’re etched and stamped into thin metal, resulting in those super sharp edges. Once they wear down, there’s no practical way to restore that structure at home.

What shortens their lifespan:
- Grating very hard foods like parmesan rinds and nutmeg
- Pressing down hard instead of using light pressure
- Tossing it loose in a drawer where the teeth get bent or flattened (use the cover)
- Running it through the dishwasher (heat + movement dulls it faster)

How to know it’s time for a new one:
- Grating anything becomes harder
- Citrus zest comes out thick or uneven instead of light and fluffy
- Cheese starts to clump or tear instead of falling into fine shreds
- The frame or handle is cracked or the metal is bent.

A sharp grater should feel almost effortless, like it’s doing the work for you. If it’s not, it’s probably time to replace it!

This time of the year can get busy! Make dinner easy this week with another delicious sheet pan dinner. Our favorite tip for easy clean up is using parchment paper. Whatever veggies we have in the fridge get chopped and loaded on, drizzled with olive oil, seasoning, and tossed. Add a quick protein like chicken sausage or Polish sausage, and dinner is ready quickly!
