My first Mouli was good. All metal. The only problem was that I had a hard
time finding it and I actually had to have a cooking store order it for me.
Wasn't cheap either! But it didn't grate a lot at one time and you did have
to cut the cheese to fit in it. Now that I think about it the main thing I
used it for was grating chocolate. I used to make a chocolate tweed cake
that called for that.

Eventually it got bent out of shape. Not sure how that happened but I did
have roommates back then. Subsequent Mouli's had plastic on them and broke
very quickly. I gave up on them.

Now I have something that is sort of like a microplane. Actually I have
two. One with larger holes and one with smaller. Not sure what you'd call
them. They are much wider than a microplane. I got them at Central Market.
