Do you use it lying on the counter, or do you hold it in your hand?

I discovered this thing when researching a recipe for the supper I made yesterday, 2010-12-28.

Lying on the counter.

Do you put your potato on it so that you can slice it without slicing all the way through?

You got it. It's called a "kartoffel bræt" which means a potato board.

 

[Barbara L]

WooHoo! Off to find a picture to post!

Took awhile, but what is this?

Sure, or we could ask if anyone wants to try and if not, I'll put something.

Great, works for me. Now if I had a clue. Is it a mortar?

Potato board? Interesting. Nifty picture.

Is it for presentation? That device on a plate with a food item in the bowl.

 

[Barbara L]

No, it served a useful purpose, other than presentation.

For fishing something out of the soup and then letting it sit to cool?

 

[Barbara L]

It would work for either of those, but no. A word in my last post was kind of a hint (not to what it is, but something else).

A 'slotted' serving spoon

 

[Barbara L]

No. Hint: The hint word in the other post was "served."

 

[Zhizara]

I have no clue, but it sure is pretty.

It's a tennis trophy! Goes in the Davis cup.

I was thinking it was a communion spoon until Andy got it, but I can't find a pic of it anywhere with the Davis Cup.
