Is it a trivet for standing hot pans on?

Sorry, no. It is quite a small object, about 5 cm long.

Some kind stand for a hot object, like a kettle or Iron?

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

Is it a soap-dish or a soap-stand?

Neither.

Here is a picture of the result of using the object

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

OK, next clue. The item is used in the kitchen.

[Gentle.Ivy]

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

The description of the object: it is a curved metal plate with holes, 5 cm long, of almost oval shape.

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

I'm none the wiser Svetlana, my next guess would have been a peeler or grater but looking at the image above it cannot be that.

What if I say that the more commonly used alternative for using this object for making xxx are xxx bags? "xxx" is on the last picture.

I don't think I can be more obvious without actually naming it.

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

Is it a tea strainer, used when pouring water over a tea bag?

Geoff.

Very close, but not exactly. It is not for tea bags and it is not a strainer, although the physics behind both is the same. It is something to use when you have loose tea and want just one cup of tea.
Remember, that you cannot use it on its own, only with another object - probably almost always them two are sold together.

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

Part of a tea infuser?

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

Part of a tea infuser?

Geoff.

Yes! Or to be more precise, part of a tea brewing spoon. It can be used only with a teaspoon. I've seen a few different designs. In this one you put tea leaves in a teaspoon and slide that part to close. Then just put it in your cup and add boiling water.

Does anyone know if it has a name?




Over to you, Geoff

[Geoff]

Re: Macro challenge - reloaded!

Thanks Svetlana, we got there in the end. I think a tea brewing spoon is a correct name, also called a tea infuser. I looked on Google images, there are many designs of tea infusers. You've given me the idea to buy one then I can use loose tea instead of bags

I'll post the next image later.
