What is it? #469

12x6x8 inches, 30x15x20 cm, what is this?
Sorry about the poor picture quality, I couldn't
find a larger picture of it not in use.

paint mixer?

 

[squirt]

looks like a scoop of some kind

Ummmm ~ poor shot or not Phil ~ all the parts seem to have a 'fuzzy' sort of edge to them ~ as if they are meant to catch something, so if it rotates, does it collect 'hair/fur' or impurities from something ~ a sort of cleaner?

 

[squirt]

perhaps a carrier of sorts?

 

[roadkill]

plaster mixer?

The fuzzy edges are because it was a small picture I had to enlarge. The edges are not actually fuzzy at all.

maybe for cutting the lard or shortening into a flour mix for biscuits?

 

[squirt]

maybe for dipping something, to coat it in chocolate?

Something to do with a weighing machine?

Right, I've got it ~ it's a mixer in the middle of a vat ~ filled with water and sugar ~ stirred until 'just' right ~ taken out to make 'rock' [candy to my American friends]

Closest answer so far. Something is placed in it, but not to be carried.

Most likely to be found in a kitchen.

I've used something similar, but of larger, industrial dimensions, as a WII in the past.

No, but the word "rock" is sort of relevant.

Its a lobster trap (Rock lobster?).
Yes I´ve been out in the sun again and its 38 -39ºc here today

Not animal or (directly) food related.

If it's in the kitchen and not food related, what else could it be related to?
