Help settle a mystery for us! Some UKG's! (Unidentified Kitchen Gadgets)
A few kitchen gadgets were recently donated to the Community Meals kitchen, and while we're pretty sure they belong there... we're not entirely sure what they actually do! ⁉
Before you reach for Google, take a look at the photos and tell us: do you honestly know what these are? Have you ever used one? What was it for?
Wrong answers are welcome too. In fact, they might be even more entertaining. We'll reveal the answers in a few days...
Let's see who the real kitchen experts are!
UPDATE:
1. Boj Olaneta Pincer Can Opener
2. a "Jaws" brand heavy-duty nutcracker, also known for cracking lobster and crab shells.
3. & 4. The two toddler utensils are vintage, silver-plated child's spoon & food pusher produced by Berndorf Krupp of Austria. The handle features a raised relief depiction of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. It is part of a "Grimm Fairy Tale" cutlery series manufactured for children.
