Is it too hard to include a picture link so we know exactly what
you're talking about?

I've grated carrot on my microplane. You won't grate many carrots
very quickly - but half a carrot, grated, will *look* like a lot more.
I don't know what size mine is, but it zests and grates (with pictures
of parmesan and ginger on the cover).

If Kitchen Craft grater you're talking about is the mini-version of a
regular shredder and what you're talking about has tiny holes, go for
the smallest one you can find. I have a couple of those and they
don't ever clog.
