I've already stumped nearly half the regular guessers in the Mystery Kitchen Tool contest, and it is only a matter of time before I stump the rest.

Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!


You posted pics of chains that you use in the kitchen for whatever purpose. That IMO does not make them kitchen tools per se. If they indeed qualify as kitchen tools, then I could post a picture of a normal carpenters hammer, claiming I use it in my kitchen, and ask for what purpose.

I could be wrong, but I thought that thread was meant for real kitchen tools, and not anything that anyone could use in the kitchen. How can anyone guess what someone else using chains for in the kitchen? Or a hammer, or two nails?

I'd say that game has gone over the hill now.

When I first moved into my home some 32 years ago and had no appliances yet, I used my electric drill with a bicycle spoke chucked into it and bent so I could use it as a mixer.......

But guys ....

You need to spend more time in cooking supply shops. I have seen many "common place" items there, labelled for a specific kitchen use, and the price increased accordingly. I will give Angela a chance to prove this was at least sold as a kitchen tool - even if I could use it to improve tire traction on my snow blower.

BTW, I have used kitchen tools in the workshop many times (don't tell my wife!) but that doesn't disqualify them as kitchen tools.

The dog chains were not sold as kitchen tools. I purchased them in the pet aisle of our local supermarket. But I do use them exclusively in my kitchen and they are permanently stored in my kitchen with my pastry baking equipment.

When I posted those pictures I was thinking that something that I use exclusively for cooking is a "cooking tool", and thereby permissible.

If I have violated the rules, I apologize. If the majority feel that picture should not have counted, I will be very careful in the future to stick to more traditional kitchen devices.

Sounds like a kitchen tool to me. Unlike something dragged in from the workshop from time to time.

Sniff times four or five. Life got in the way. Of course I knew the chain thing and the other antiques
@ Sten-Arne, the point is to stump us. Then post hints. I know you say you are old and crumpy, but I am not sure, that is true.
Thank you Carlos, I love this thread, just wish, you would be here more.

Whew! I see the dust is settling now in the cooking thread. Carlos, thank you for your operational definition. You people take your cooking tools very seriously!!!

I am sorry about the dog chains. I really do use them exclusively for cooking, but the nay-sayers are correct - they are not sold as cooking tools.

So, just to clarify, food service items are a "no - no" too? A weird fish fork or something would be out? I did not see a line about food service utensils in Carlos' definition.

A kitchen tool is a tool made for use in the preparation or service of food

I did.

I just saw your caption. You win.

Thank you for the clarification and thank you for the "win".

It is Monday, however, who gets to make that call...

Why would anyone want to "core" a grapefruit?

It makes it easier to get the chain around it.

I admit I was a bit stumped by the chains, first view was "those look like dog choke collars".. ahh well.. the games go on.

And obviously I have never used one to cook with LOL!!

Now this is getting extremely weird. Why should a fish fork even if strange be excluded? It belongs in the kitchen and is related to food.

My bad. Service utensils ARE allowed, per Carlos' operational definition.

Sten-Arne, what is the adult beverage of choice in your country? Whatever it is, please uncork a bottle and enjoy a little nip. May the spirit of fun be with you, my friend.

I agree with Angela's agreement with me. A fork is tool to serve food.
Pass the bottle.... which can also be found in the kitchen and used to both serve and store food. Store? Should I have included store food? Yes I think it belongs. So tool made to prepare, served or store food. Any more?

Since this is the off topic season until Eric get's around to post a pic. I think there is a book in the Guestroom about flying pigs. I know there is one about Donkeys.

A caption Ang. He just beat me too it, so I had to do some cleanup. Can't comment when a game is in progress.
Are we a bit touchy tonight?

It is always more challenging to interpret intent on-line. Eric and I both interpreted your post as "snarky", and it would seem we both misunderstood you.
