Possibly zesting? Removing just the yellow part of the skin. A fine grater is the easiest way. A cheese grater or nutmeg grater. Any fine grater. A zester is the best tool. However yes using a cheese grater works just as well, as is quicker cheaper, and usually easier to find. Plus you get more for your money! =)
possibly it is a cheese grater, where the cheese accumulates in the middle so it doesn't go everywher - if it is smaller it could be a nutmeg grater, the nutmeg seed maybe tucked somewhere in the points.... ths is a very odd question...

Update / Clarification by Garfield227: Actually - I found a reference to it in use on one of the hobby dvd's I have - it was used to shape insulating foam, and is called a rasp! :-) I was dying trying to figure this out for a few weeks before stumbling onto WikiAnswers, so I thought I would post it while it still irked me! :-) come to find out all I had to do was fire up one of the model train "How To" DVDs I had sitting right here on my shelf, and I would have had the answer in less than 30 minutes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasp oh well... (BTW - my wife suggested nutmeg grater also... however - I didn't want to go into Home Depot and ask for one though :-) First answer by Spunky123elmo: Sounds like a Nutmeg Grater to me!
Microplane graters are great for adding a bit of lemon zest to your favourite dish. You can also use it to grate cheese, nutmeg, oranges, peppers and even chocolate.
It can't be, because one is grater then any negative number and an infinity number is grater than one.

Nutmeg is a spice which can be bought ready-ground or as a nut which you grate over food using a special metal or wooden grater, or the small starburst section of an ordinary grater. You can also scrape it with a serrated knife. If you can buy the whole nutmeg, do so. Kept in a cool dark cupboard in a tin or jar it will last a long time, and the flavour is far better than the ready-ground. One of the most popular uses of nutmeg, especially in Mediterranean countries, is in cooked foods, both sweet or savoury, containing milk or cheese, such as custards, cheese sauces, casseroles, stuffed pasta and so on. It is widely used in minced (ground) meat dishes, especially where the meat is mixed with eggs and used as stuffing. In many countries, nutmeg is added to vegetables such as cabbage, green beans, and so on, and to potato dishes. It has long been popular in English custards and desserts. Mace is the outer shell of the nutmeg and is bought ready-ground. It is frequently used with nutmeg in cooking, and adds an orange colour to food. Grating the end off a nutmeg and carrying the nut to inhale can help clear the nasal passages. The nutmeg is brittle; it can be wrapped in muslin (like a lavender bag, or teabag) and hit with a hard object to shatter it, then kept to perfume cupboards and drawers. Both nutmeg and mace are used in powdered spice mixes, from India to Japan and over Europe.
