OK, here is an easy one. Need to know what it does, AND what it does it to. First hint - we have one, and it doesn't really work all that well.

Garlic Peeler Spice Mincer Stirrer Presser Slicer Vegetable Tools


I bet you answered exam questions that way too ;). The right answer is hidden in all that, so I guess I will give it to you. It was sold to us as a garlic mincer, and it sorta works as such.

Any kitchen tool that does not work as expected gets weeded from my kitchen! I show no mercy.

All the listings I could find for it had that long discriptor. LOL

http://www.aliexpress.com/products/use-garlic-peeler.html

With a global community the vendor has to hit all colloquial terms.

I know it as a garlic mincer.

Oh please! I've worked with children too long not to recognize Lego stuff when I see it.

That monstrosity looks like a cookie cutter/stamp that makes cookies that look like Lego blocks. Perhaps one would use this for a child's birthday party with a Lego theme to make treats or party favors?

Gary, do you actually have one of these silly things?!!!

Don't know the proper name, but I suspect it is used to make filled pasta, like tortellini.

Thank you for the win. Ok cooking friends, I'm pretty sure that THIS one is going to stump even the best kitchen gadget guessers out there...


What are these shiny metal objects and how do I use them in the kitchen?
The win goes to the correct answer, but an honorable mention goes to the most kinky response!!!





Hint... Bad kitty! Let go of that kitchen gadget so that I can wash it before I use it next month!!!

Ok I'm going to take a shot in the dark, is this some sort chain equivalent to string for tying down a turkey or ham or maybe pot roast? Like maybe in a Rotisserie?
