Nutmeg grater
Usually semicircular, but also sometimes completely round elongated metal
grater of sheet iron with which nutmegs can be finely grated. These graters
have a separate place where the nuts can be stored, usually at the top and
closed with a lid. The grater can also be placed in a container in which
both the nuts can be stored and in which the finely grated nutmeg can be
collected. See also nutmeg mill. [MOT]
