Microplane was originally designed as a wood plane & holding it like this is how it is made to use in woodworking as well, so it makes perfect sense to use it this way.
Every one here is doing it wrong.Iron Chef Michael Simon`s technique is the way to go.Zesting from pole to pole while rotating your wrist produces nice pieces of zest without any pith.
This I found ridiculous zesting is used to "garnish" (enhanced) a flavor nobody eats fruit skins at least is been turn into candy it tastes strongly bitter same as the Pith also if you do it like that instead of flaky snow like garnish most of what you zest will stick & turn into mushy,won't recommend it for high ingredients such as truffles.
Anyone else find the sides of this model of microplane frustrating? I understand having edges so gratings can collect, but I find the angle often traps food in the corners.

This is zesting 101 🙄
That hair is zesty!
This is the way I’ve always zested.
Just intuitive?
as much as everyone promotes this method, all I can imagine is zesting my skin with it.
Oh. This is how I have always done it. Just made better sense. ❤
My wife won't let me Zest upsidedown until I lose some weight first.
Surely there’s a better way to blow dry that hair… 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks, Tips 🙄
That is not a zester
lol once Chef Jean Pierre taught me this, I was shocked it wasn't done by all professional chefs. So much easier and faster.

You also concentrate the oils rather than having them going everywhere. More oils=more flavor!
WTF is going on with her hair?!
Ok i checked all the comments to make sure nobody else said it yet
Americas ZEST kitchen
I like your hair

Chef Jean-Pierre is going to come after you for poaching his technique. 😆
That’s terrible zester technique. You absolutely don’t zest in tiny back and forth motions. Oof.
@ChefJeanPierre has been saying this forever!
Nice tip, never thought of doing it that way.
Its also better technique to curl the zester around the fruit, rather than a back and fourth motion.
You get bigger, prettier curls and less pith.

lets you get those citrus fruits zestfully clean
Is there another way? This is a pointless video
The right way isn’t fucking sawing at it like that. One pass is all you need.
