Review on πŸ–€ Microplane Classic Zester/Grater in Sleek Black: Unleash Flawless Zesting and Grating Abilities by Sheila Myers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Shape limits usability

Based on the needs of my kitchen, the main design flaw of this micro plane is the shape of the plane. Instead of being a straight line, the sides of the plane curve inward. If you look into its trunk, so to speak, you see something like a U-shape. If you plan on grating/grating something with a high liquid content (ginger, garlic) expect it to stick to any microplate. The downside to this particular design is that the curved plane makes it difficult to remove what you've just cut or grated. If the planer were straight you could easily scrape the grates into a bowl or pan with a rubber spatula or knife, but since that blade is curved you'll have to tip the spatula or knife against the planer and try to scoop them out. After all, most of your harvest gets stuck in the curves of the blade, can't be retrieved, and is doomed to just be washed down the sink. Next time I'm looking for a micro plane, I'll find it. it is flat.
