The invention is claimed as follows: 1. A grater comprising: a housing including a peripheral wall structure having a top end and a bottom end, and a base connected to said bottom end, said peripheral wall structure and said base cooperating to define a receptacle, said housing including a skin portion located adjacent the bottom end, the skirt portion being separate from and extending away from said base and being engageable by a user's hand to hold the housing in place on an underlying support surface; and a blade carried by said housing; said skirt portion being wider than said top end of said peripheral wall structure and receiving a user's hand in a grasping position to simultaneously engage the skirt portion and the underlying support surface. 2. The grater of claim 1, which includes a grip connected to said skirt portion of said housing. 3. The grater of claim 2, wherein said grip is made of at least one of the materials selected from the group consisting of: a polymer and an elastomer. 4. The grater of claim 1, wherein said peripheral wall structure defines a spout operable to drain fluid from said receptacle. 5. The grater of claim 1, wherein said housing is made of at least one of the materials selected from the group consisting of: stainless steel, wood, glass, a polymer and an elastomer. 6. The grater of claim 1, wherein the blade defines a plurality of openings and includes a plurality of protrusions adjacent to the openings. 7. The grater of claim 6, wherein the protrusions have two different sizes. 8. The grater of claim 6, wherein the protrusions are positioned on each side of each opening and angle substantially inwardly. 9. The grater of claim 1, which includes a cover removably connected to the housing. 10. A grater comprising: a housing including a peripheral wall structure having a top end and a bottom end, and a base connected to said bottom end, said peripheral wall structure and said base cooperating to define a receptacle, said housing including a skin portion located adjacent the bottom end, extending away from said receptacle and being engageable by a user's hand to hold the housing in place on an underlying support surface; a cover removably connected to the housing; and a blade carried by said housing; said skirt portion being wider than said top end of said peripheral wall structure and receiving a user's hand in a grasping position to simultaneously engage the skirt portion and the underlying support surface, wherein the peripheral wall structure defines a spout, the cover including a protruding member positioned and shaped to overlie the spout for cooperating therewith to define a gap for draining fluid from the grater that collected in the receptacle. 11. The grater of claim 10, wherein said protruding member and an adjacent portion of said skin portion are in substantially the same plane and cooperate to define spaced supports to enable the grater to stand independently and substantially vertically on the underlying support surface. 12. A grater for processing a food item, the grater comprising: a container including a top, a base and a skirt portion, the skirt portion located adjacent the base, being separate from and extending away from the base, said skirt portion being wider than said top of said container; a grip attached to said skirt portion and positioned to inhibit movement of said container along an underlying support surface; and a blade carried by the container, the skirt portion and attached grip adapted to receive a user's hand in a grasping position, wherein the user's hand simultaneously engages at least one of the skirt portion and the attached grip, as well as the underlying support surface to securely hold the container in place on the underlying support surface. 13. The grater of claim 12, wherein the grip is made of a substantially non-skid material. 14. The grater of claim 12, wherein the grip is made of at least one of the materials selected from the group consisting of: a polymer and an elastomer. 15. The grater of claim 12, wherein the housing is made of at least one of the materials selected from the group consisting of: stainless steel, wood, glass, a polymer and an elastomer. 16. The grater of claim 12, wherein the blade defines a plurality of openings and includes a plurality of protrusions adjacent to the openings. 17. The grater of claim 16, wherein the protrusions have two different sizes. 18. The grater of claim 16, wherein the protrusions are positioned on each side of each opening and angle substantially inwardly. 19. The grater of claim 12, which includes a cover removably connected to the container. 20. The grater of claim 12, wherein the grip extends beneath the skirt portion. 21. The grater of claim 12, wherein the grip overlies the skin portion. 22. A grater for processing a food item, the grater comprising: a container including a top, a bottom and a skin portion which extends downwardly and away from the container, said skirt portion being wider than said top of said container; a grip attached to said skirt portion and positioned to inhibit movement of said container along an underlying support surface; a cover removably connected to the container; and a blade carried by the container, the skirt portion and attached grip adapted to receive a user's hand in a grasping position, wherein the user's hand simultaneously engages at least one of the skirt portion and the attached grip, as well as the underlying support surface to securely hold the container in place on the underlying support surface, wherein the cover includes a protruding member positioned and shaped to overlie a spout defined by the housing for cooperating therewith to define a gap for draining fluid from the grater that collected in the container. 23. The grater of claim 22, wherein said protruding member and an adjacent portion of said skirt portion are in substantially the same plane and cooperate to define spaced supports to enable the grater to stand independently and substantially vertically on the underlying support surface. 24. A grater comprising: a housing having a top and a bottom, said housing defining a receptacle and a skirt portion, said receptacle having a base, said skirt portion located adjacent the bottom, extending laterally outwardly beyond said top of said housing, being separate from and extending away from said base and being engageable by a user's hand to hold the housing in place on an underlying support surface; and a blade carried by said housing, said skirt portion receiving a user's hand in a grasping position to simultaneously engage the skirt portion and the underlying support surface.
