The Rasp Style Microplane Zester

I love this kitchen utensil!  There are all shapes and sizes of graters. The ‘Rasp Style’ refers to the long, skinny shape as seen here. It often gets called a ‘microplane’ which is the company who first invented & patented it.

I use it for grating parmesan on pasta, zesting citrus, fresh nutmeg, garlic, shallots & fresh ginger. It produces a delicate yet  impactful effect on whatever it is added to.
