A Microplane Zester is a brandname of Citrus Zester.

Many people swear by it for making Lemon or Orange zest with, as it makes fluffy shreds of zest very fast.

The tool looks almost like a woodworking rasp, with a large handle and a very long zesting blade made from stainless steel.

It can also be used for shaving parmesan cheese, chocolate, ginger, ice, etc. Fans of speciality salts, some of which come in chunks, use their Microplane to "freshly grate" their salt right at the table.

A Microplane can't, ironically enough, produce strips of zest.
