As every professional, or enthusiastic amateur, knows, there is nothing like the right tool to make any job easier.
This is just as true when it comes to cooking as with any other highly skilled craft.
And of course, there is a whole collection of tools and implements that any good cook wants in their arsenal.
Many will be instantly recognisable, from the ubiquitous chef’s knife, to other common implements like spatulas and ladles.
Snaps of less recognisable kitchen tools, taken by social media users from around the world, were collated in to a gallery by Brightside.
Photos of weird and unusual kitchen utensils have been collated by Brightside. Ever seen one of these slightly creepy looking implements? According to the description, it is simply known as a ‘meat holder’
Among the less than common implements is one fierce looking tool that is apparently a ‘meat holder’.
Another strange looking item was specially designed to be used purely to wash the scent of onions off your hands.
Here, FEMAIL rounds up bizarre kitchen implements you’ve likely never seen before…
This strange looking tool is said to be a pumpkin carving scoop – and the indent in the centre was fashioned to fit a child’s thumb
Found by a baffled social media user while cleaning out the kitchen, this 8-inch long tool is said to be an ice tapper
Definitely one of the weirder looking utensils, this is said to be a tool that is used for krumkake, which is a thin round cake, like a pancake, which is rolled around the wooden pyramid so the dough stays in a round shape as it cools
It may sound somewhat niche, but apparently this one is for squeezing lemon pieces to catch seeds
Are you as baffled as we were by this one? Turns out it is an ‘egg piercer’ – it is used to help keep the egg from cracking during boiling
So it seems clear that is implement is a knife. But for what? It isn’t your normal-looking blade. Apparently it is specifically for frozen food
It may look very odd, but this gadget could come in handy for many people, and is designed as a citrus peeler for oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes
Ever seen one of these nifty gadgets before? Apparently i is an aluminium bar that you use remove the onion smell from your hands, rubbing it on them like a bar of soap
Now here is one that could actually come in very handy for a lot of people: it is a bottle/jar opener designed to fit various jar lid sizes
Have you ever seen one of these extremely odd looking utensils? For those not in the know, it is a corn stripper
