microplane
Fine kitchen rasp
A microplane is a fine-grained rasp used in cooking to shave hard ingredients into feathery wisps: She used a microplane to zest the lemon.
Originally a woodworking tool, it became a kitchen staple for grating citrus zest, hard cheeses, garlic, ginger, and nutmeg.
The cutting surface produces finer results than a box grater.
