With a bit of luck, this might keep you folks guessing for an hour or so...


What is it called?

What does it produce?

I do own the set. Dimensions are about 8 or 9 inches in diameter. You do pour something into the containers. The pieces are heated up by putting them into a heat source.

It is a silly little set and truth be told, I have never used it. My mother-in-law picked it up at a tag sale in Wisconsin for the glorious price of one dollar. She gave it to me because she thought I might have fun with it. I do intend to use it some day, but I simply have not gotten around to it yet. Maybe when I retire...

Got it but holding out trying to find that particular brand & model. That is a nice one compared to others I've seen so far.

If anyone else has it go for it.

I'm 85% sure but not totally yet. LOL!

I love cooking and kitchen gadgets both are a 50+ year hobby.

Not a jello mold, although I suppose it could serve as one if needed.

I love that this item has gone 24 hours with only one person 85% sure and not yet hazarding a public guess. For a contest that attracts so many accomplished home cooks, I feel like 24 hours is a pretty good run. If nobody guesses correctly tonight, I will give a clue tomorrow.

Goodnight friends.

A mould for doing (as in baking rather than cutting) concentric cakes
(its probably got a fancy name)

You are correct about the creation of concentric cakes. Its name is not particularly fancy, but if you can describe what the end product looks like, I will give you the win.

I guess water, then something sits on top, then in an oven. But it seems to have three separate compartments. Some sort of steamer?

Not a steamer. Water does not go in any of the compartments.

OK, complete stab in the dark, a swiss roll maker.

Sorry. That is incorrect. All you need for that is a jelly roll pan, or better yet a half sheet pan.

This is a tiny bit more complicated.

OK, last go, is it a Baumkuchen maker?

I had to Google Image Baumkuchen to find out what it was. Wow!!!!!!

No, it is not a Baumkuchen maker. It is more simple than that, but you are moving in the right direction.

24 hours? Pshaw. Mine went for 8 days.

My first two thoughts were ashtray and sterno holder, but I know those are wrong.

Egg poacher?

[edit] I see that's already been shot down too.
