Abstract: A grater for single-handed operation has a handle adapted to be grasped by the fingers, and a plunger adapted for engagement with the thumb. The plunger is slidingly received in an opening extending longitudinally through the handle, with a spring urging it to an extended position. A grating cutter and a cooperating holder for locating a food item adjacent the grating cutter are both disposed in a cavity within the handle. A detachable container for holding the food item encloses a resiliently-biased pusher for urging the food item toward the grating cutter, and reciprocating the plunger causes relative movement between the grating cutter and the holder.
