What's it used for?!

[Morning Glory]

It could have something to do with sausages, as well as other food items.

Another clue, the "things" that go in it get used up.

Is it for smoking food - so you put wood chips in it perhaps?

Yep, it's a cold smoking device. You pack it with very fine wood chips, set it alight at the right lower corner, and it is supposed to last for 7-8 hours. There's actually a tea light under it, but most of the reviews said they didn't bother with that and used a butane torch to light. We'll see how well it works once it's used. They had round ones and square ones too, but I liked the shape of this one.

Phew! I'm glad we got there eventually.

I would have told you if nobody got it after the last clue. I figured the "used up" would give it away so saved that for last.

The egg separator is called the Boogieman. I have one. haven't used it yet. Tired of the yolk getting into the whites, messing them up & you can't get them fluffy peaks!!

I just use my hands

How did I miss this thread? I have one of those, but mine is square!

I use an empty 500 ml plastic water bottle.

Me too, I find it by far the easiest way - less washing up too

I have the square version and it works pretty well. You're right not to bother with the tea light - a blowtorch is much easier to get it going,

What is THIS utensil?

 

[medtran49]

I know and I know where you got it from. I won't answer to see if others get it. I thought about ordering one but decided I'll get one in a more traditional form if I do.

A whisk in the shape of a chicken drum.
