Help Me Identify

I had gotten this knife from my grandmother before she died, and I know she brought it back from Japan before I was born, so it's very dear to me, and I would appreciate any help that I can get, th...

What is this thing, found in a kitchen cabinet?

At the Asian market I bought a green vegetable that I thought was labelled Chinese spinach (though I wouldn't swear to it). It had comparatively tough stalks--long, thin, but tough, almost woody--...

We think they’re kitchen tool. They were in a kitchen drawer when the house was moved into ten years ago. They’ve just sat there. Raspy ends like files but hookier ( like metal Velcro).

Any idea what this little guy is used for? I would guess that it's some kind of coring tool. Both sides are slightly sharp. Not enough to cut your fingers with. There is no serration. I guesse...

Trying to identify this for a friend. I feel like I should know what it is, but it's escaping me.

Hi - we found this cleaning out a relative's kitchen cupboard and don't know what it is. It looks like an attachment of some sort, but we couldn't find any other pieces. Does anyone recognize this?

OK so I was at a thrift shop and price tags in white were 50% off... so for the princely sum of exactly 1 dollar I picked up this little thing, gadget I don’t know… It is stamped “Japan” but I...

What is that dulce de leche type hard stick that you get at Latin American supermarkets? and can I make empanadas with it? when you bite it it's like fudge that has crystallized.

I found this in among other kitchen utensils when cleaning out my parents' home. The disk on the end is solid steel and weighty. There is a label reading "rowoco" on the handle, so I am fairly cert...

Can anyone tell me what this is and how I cook it? Moreover, can I fry sliced potatoes in a frying pan to make potato chips? Thank you!

I have a customer looking for this particular style knife and am not able to find one anywhere. He is middle eastern and they use it to mince meat by hand in place of a meat grinder. Any ideas?? ...

My MIL found this in her kitchen. It kind of reminds me of something you would use to eat crab with but I have no clue what the serrrated edges would be used for.

Hi everyone, Very pleased to have found you. I recently purchased these beautiful three pieces from an antique shop. The only information available on them is that they are stamped 'Made in ...

I was in Valladolid, and went to the Mercato Municipale. Many vendors were selling these tiny little red beans, maybe 1/8" x 1/16". Seriously small, more like a seed than a bean. I bought a bag, pl...

I bought this pan at an estate sale. At first I thought it was a crepe pan, then I thought it was an omelette pan. Now I am not sure which it is (or perhaps it is something else entirely). I think ...
