The March Kitchen Conundrum

Have you ever noticed how silly looking some of the utensils we use in the kitchen are? At the Brownie Shop, we often find ourselves wielding strange looking contraptions to create our brownies and we thought it would be fun to share these tools with you...in an interesting way!

So here's the deal: every month we will be posting a photo of a kitchen tool that we simply cannot live without at Simply Divine Brownies. Each tool has a specific function related to creating just one of our heavenly brownies. We want you to answer the three questions below in the comments section of this posting, along with your email address, and on Friday, March 26, we will draw a lucky winner from the comments to receive the featured kitchen tool as well as half a dozen of the brownies the tool is used to make.

Here are the questions you need to answer in the comments section:
1. What is the tool?
2. What is it used for?
3. For which brownie is this tool an absolute necessity?
4. What's your email address?

Click here to search our brownie varieties to sleuth out the brownie created with the featured tool. Happy hunting and good luck!

    I think that it is a sifter to sift flour for the brownies. Every delicious Simply Divine brownie.

  10. it for sure is a grader or masher item and can be use to make choch. silvers over a lot of different brownies. You could use it for sugar too. since I don't cook, I don't know the real name, but I am very close I am sure and deserve the brownies. :)Judith

  14. I think that it is a fruit press for the sweetheart raspberry brownie. You put the fruit in and press it down to get just the fruit through the press and the seeds stay in the cup.
