toymaker Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I found this in a kitchen drawer. You squeeze the handle and the sproingy thing spreads apart. I have searched for photos on the Internet and asked just about everyone who comes to the house. I even took it into work one day. No one can agree about what it is: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/msspielm1/IMG_20170704_180601230_zpsrs4fhhxo.jpghttp://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/msspielm1/IMG_20170704_180615594_zpsqg9cse7u.jpg Edited July 4, 2017 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it open up? Maybe it is for squeezing a type of fruit or vegetable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 It doesn't really open up; it just spreads apart. It also has a couple of things on the handle that make me think it's supposed to rest on the edge of a bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some type of roller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I've heard egg slicer, garlic press, and a few other things I can't remember but didn't make sense at the time. Oh, and whisk . . . although why you'd have exert pressure to keep the wire apart is beyond me. ...this topic doesn't appear to be showing up in "new content" - did I do something wrong ...?

EagleMoon Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It's funny because I thought it might be a whisk but I couldn't figure out the point of it retracting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
