A Microplane is a rasp-style grater, but not every rasp-style grater is a Microplane!
after the owners of Lee Valley Tools in Ottawa, CA began marketing them in their mail-order catalogue as a cooking implement rather than one for just woodworking, as they had been thought of before.
These lower-performing graters had too-small holes or the teeth weren’t angled high enough to grate and zest easily. Zest came out mushy and wet, and cheese took longer to grate and required more effort to do so.Surprisingly, though, some graters weresharp...or perhaps had teeth that were just angled too sharply upwards. These graters removed the pith as well as the zest, leaving the fruit with striations and grate marks.
But a bent zester, which is more comfortably held right-side up, forces you to hold the tool in an awkward position upside-down. This means bent zesters aren’t as versatile. Unless you plan on only using the zester to grate cheese or nutmeg, right-side up, avoid getting a rasp-style grater with a bend in it.Serious Eats / Irvin Lin
