    Bought this a week ago.

    Seller said it was a butter curler.
    Google Lens shows various tools, but a lemon zester is what comes closest to this, but the zesters I'm finding, have one straight row, like this one:

    Any idea what mine was used for?


    The tool was dirty and rusty, now it looks a bit better...

    Very nicely done cleanup, Marote!

    It could be a butter curler from when butter came in 1lb. blocks. If you held two sticks together, maybe you could see if it worked.

    Reminds me of a corn thing to remove the kernels. I can not remember the name is it husker?

    Another item for the grocery list :D


    I just hope that, after all those tests on food, it doesn't turn out to be an antique calluses scraper :confused::yuck:

    A baby coconut is an immature coconut. I only know this because I did a project in jr high school on foods, the meat which is the white part (obviously not as much as with a mature one) is sweeter & more wet, the milk content is higher so that is where they typically get coconut milk from. Ok that was in the mid ish 70’s. Now I can also tell you I have had both (they are plentiful here) but haven’t had either in years. It is easier to buy shredded coconut & the milk then crack them open!

    CrazyRussianHacker using a coconut tool: it's supposed to que at the 9:20 time of using the tool but not sure it'll start there...

    The funny part is: we don't have coconut in Russia, but we know how to open it. :bookworm::rolleyes::joyful:

    We have tried every gadget, you need to be “Superman” to use them. A clean drill bit works wonders..
