This is the correct way to do it! Plus you can rotate the fruit in your hand and see where the fresh spots are and continue zesting. No need to keep checking the fruit to see where to go next. 😂
Chef Jean-Pierre has been teaching this technique for years and the upside down works out great for citrus! I think this is a compliment to his knowledge and techniques!!!
If I remembered correctly, what was taught here is what's written on the instructions of the zesters..? At least that's what I read when I saw the instruction manual.. 🙂
Read any woodworking guide about using an open rasp or surform. It will tell you that the rasp goes on top of what you are working on. Food on top is for people who don't know any better.
Yeah and if slips you will be zesting your flesh. Many ways to do it, but as long as you get zest, it is the best way. Can’t wait to see what else we have been doing wrong…
The rubber tips on the end are designed to be used to SECURE THE MICROPLANE ON THE TABLE. You then have to know the blades will all be facing you and you will only produce zest on the downswipe… certainly not by a sawing motion.
As a Culinary Instructor…there is absolutely a "technically correct" way to use this kitchen tool.

All I can imaginine is less coordinated people zesting their hand by accident 😄 look how close it is for corn sake

Ok but that that legit changed my zesting game. I'm excited to try that😮
Chef Jean Pierre ❤
Never saw a zester like this in shops but all over english-speaking videos 👀

Actually, there is. 😅
Don’t rub it back and forth! Over time it will push the blades more and more flat so just run it one direction.
Great idea!
I’m here for the color coordinated zesting.❤
Ah yes, the Chef Jean Pierre method.
True
She is right, except she is backwards. She is using upside up.
Far less messy, too! The zest is contained & not making a mess all over the work area! 🤩
Rather than sawing back and forth, I find it more efficient and easier to control if you zest in a long pulling motion.
We do neither of those.We zest as per Iron Chef Michael Symon.
How else would you do it ? it’s a rasp !!

That's how I've been doing it. It naturally felt like it was a better way.
Ahem, that is the right way up, not upside down.

Unreal how stupid some people can be.🙄
