Can you tell me what this is? Update: Okay, Tanna, let me help you just a little... this is "en profile"... And Ash, when I saw it for the first time my thoughts went in the same direction, be it that I was thinking of the male version, no boob holders but eh.. well you know...
PS: I'm sorry Utrecht fellow bakers, you are not allowed to enter this contest......
Hoi Karen, ja, ik weet wel wat dit is. Een thee-ei. Toch?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like some weird contraption for holding up your boobs ;) Is it maybe for cooking eggs?
ReplyDeleteA tea ball but I can't see how it closes.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't I see the back?!!
Maybe something to fry dough balls / fritters or boil dumplings??? But also looks like it would hold eggs. Very interesting!

Zeg het maar. Ik weet het niet. Iets meer details, achterzijde en een lucifer-doosje erbij voor een beeld van de grootte.
ReplyDeleteGok dat het iets is om eieren te pocheren. Welke eieren zullen we gezien jouw associatie maar in het midden laten...

See, now you've made me realise that it's *much* smaller than I thought.. unless the ... err... men in your life are ...errr... better endowed than I would like to think!
ReplyDeleteIt obviously clips onto a pan... but what goes in it! Aaargh, this is torture!
Well, why are we, Utrecht shoppers , out of this contest...every body knows by now you have twins....Boys.... !!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm ignoring all this male cup stuff. I guess I see it's not a tea ball; doesn't look like it would close. It looks like it can/does clip/hang on a pot or bowl edge. Maybe it looks like you can even move the cups up higher or lower. It would seem to be a very poor egg separator so that seems out. Dang, I really liked the tea ball.
ReplyDeleteYou could use it to catch veggies out of broth to test to see if they were done.
Did you find this shopping in Utrecht? I want to go to where ever you got it from.
You can't poach eggs in it.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I actually have one of these. I mean a single, amazonian type one. It poaches an egg pretty well, but is much less suggestive and amusing.
