What-is-it question CCVIII

A silver plated item from a 1903 wholesale catalogue:



What is it?

Flat whisk (Roux whisk, pan whisk)
The shape lets you get right into the sides and bottom of a pot.
For any sauce being made in a low pot, including gravy or to lift poached eggs out of water.

Hi AG2012,

It's a good guess, but it is not the use that this particular item was sold for.

Hi,

Could it be a handheld milk frother.


Bet,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Again, a good guess, but not the right answer.

Cocktail strainer or I surrender.

[AG2012]

A little under the wire. Happy New Years!

Happy New Year to you Silverly.

[AG2012]

It was not an easy question for me, being very limited to stout and single malt.
Happy new year.

[dognose]

And a Happy New Year to you AG2012.
