Don't know the official name, but it is used for taking glass jars out of the hot water when canning stuff.

I know its usage from watching one in action every fall for the last umpteen years, but never knew the name. Try this.

You threw me with the every fall comment. You only drink win in the fall?

Well here is something no kitchen should be without.

I believe Bill was referring to the canning wrench in that comment.

This has turned into quite a fun thread!

In retrospect I don't want to be too picky here. It is a blender of sorts. I was hoping for a little more information though.

The idea of the thing is to mix in the pan, or pot while the food is cooking. I saw the development of the thing. Original was shorter and did ok in sauce pans. But the production unit was made taller to work in soup pots. Now it falls over in sauce pans and I make my soups too think for it to work.
