In a kitchen, I assume ... kulfi maker?

Ice cream maker it is not.It runs on a horizontal axis, as seen, it produces a form of edible matter which differs in consistancy from the original.

Also, the objects just go to little pieces once they are in here! Just ask yourself what would a centre piece with sharp pointy pieces like that do??

Well. guess I will have to tell. It is a Coconut corer, it is used to chop the flakes off the inner shell to produce fresh dessicated coconut. laugh# laugh#

Fascinating .. I am used to doing it the old fashioned way - by hand, I would never have associated this gadget with a coconut. One of my favourite recipe contents.
