I used to have a Mouli grater. Worked great, until it didn't. No way of
accidentally grating yourself but... It did leave a small chunk of whatever
it was in there. I have yet to find a good Mouli now that they've started
making them with plastic.

Olive Garden has some sort of grater that they use but I'll bet it leaves a
chunk too.
