What is this... thing... that was built into kitchen worktop?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

What's it for? We went to look a new kitchens and this hip smasher odd sticky-outy thing was built into one of the hardwood worktops and I can't work out what it's for

I work in different kitchens every day as a freelancer and I've never seen one of those yet. No idea other than I would definitely be getting bruised from it 😂

God knows!

Is it so you can put a bowl/pan underneath and swoosh things into it without spilling!?

I think you hold a bin under it and slide food waste directly into the bin.

Either that or its for impaling people who criticise your cooking.

Is it for putting a bowl on or under to scrape things into it without it falling down the edge of the worktop onto the floor? Or rest the chopping board on it for the same reason as above, then when you scrape whatever it is off the chopping bores it goes straight into the bowl and nowhere else

🙋🏻‍♀️

Do you rest the mason cash bowl against it to mix cake batter?.

If I bought a house with that in the kitchen I’d probably saw it off to protect myself

You can hold a bowl underneath the worktop anyway, I do it every day

I'd bash myself on that thing all day long!

If I've got lots of bits to sweep off into the bin I just hold a dustpan level with the worksurface and swoosh into that.

It looks horrible.

It's an artisan ovary piercer. Lakeland sell them.

An avocado display stand.

Uncomfortable, dangerous and awkward? Could it be a cat shelf? 🤔

This was in a kitchen shop, right?
So why didn't you just ask a shop assistant?

An avocado display stand.

Along with the stunt pineapple.

It looks like an accident waiting to happen.

It's for a high chair. One that does not have a table attached. You push the high chair into the groove on the table and there is now a table for child and space under neath for child's legs. Otherwise child's legs would be bashed against side of table.

Is it something you can 'hitch your hip' onto? People in books are always 'hitching their hip's onto things, and I cannot imagine what this looks like in real life, and can only assume that you need a special attachment like this.

No idea so place marking for the amusing comments and hopefully to find out.

No idea but I need to know

Oh, that’s a ...

a

Nope, I’ve got nothing.

Oh my god I’ve googled this until I can no more, and nothing. It’s driving me crazy!!

I’m baffled

Op why oh why didn’t you ask when you were in the shop??

It's for diy executions when people criticise your meal, it allows the blood to collect in a bucket underneath

Resting head on, whilst the mobile Madame Guillotine does her thing.
