New Kitchen Gadget, Pressing Back In Time
I went to do some grocery shopping a few weeks ago and on my way home I stopped at a rummage sale. Not only did I score some lovely items but I also found this. Not sure of it's name, but I was given a good 20 minute class on how to use it.
I believe it's a vegetable and fruit masher.
If you know what this is for, let me know in a comment. Thank you.
I like reading a post that can make men and women think.

This is a Chinois. Yours is a type of vintage food mill. A chinois is a cone-shaped sieve made with fine metal mesh. It's traditionally used for straining things that are intended to be very smooth, like stocks, sauces and soups. It usually has a metal or plastic handle and a little overhang on the opposite side, in order to rest it upright in a tall pot or a sink. The pieces of long metal are the legs, when attached they form a stand. My mother, age 85, has one of these. it was inherited from her mother. Have fun cooking with your Chinois!!
