It would be easier to help if you posted a picture of it.

Gatekeeper · 27/09/2020 16:23

Can't see a photo

TheHobbitMum · 27/09/2020 16:23

Does the bottom part come away from the larger top part? Intrigued!

Gatekeeper · 27/09/2020 16:23

oh that's weird...its just appeared

TheLetterZ · 27/09/2020 16:24

It might be a cherry destoner?

CaptainMyCaptain · 27/09/2020 16:24

There is a picture but I don't know what it is.

WunWun · 27/09/2020 16:24

It looks like it's something that's fallen off something else

HoratiotheHorsefly · 27/09/2020 16:24

No idea but now I neeeeed to know.

MissConductUS · 27/09/2020 16:25

Sorry, the pictures just loaded.

I would have said a measuring cup, but the holes on the bottom and the stopper make me think its for brewing tea or coffee.

Notimeforaname · 27/09/2020 16:25

I thought maybe it was some fancy contraption to lower eggs into boiling water or something Grinbut the bottom bit that comes away has me confused...

Phoenixrise · 27/09/2020 16:25

Cherry or plum destoner

Muffinbutton · 27/09/2020 16:26

Part of a pressure cooker lid?

WelcomeToGreenvale · 27/09/2020 16:29

I'm sure I've seen something similar and it was an egg cracker! The weight taps the top of the egg and breaks it in the circle shape of the bottom piece.

WelcomeToGreenvale · 27/09/2020 16:30

*for dippy eggs, that is, so the top comes off neatly and you can dip your soldiers Grin

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 27/09/2020 16:30

Looks like an egg topper, sit the bowl over the top of the egg, pull back the top bit, let go so it hits the cup part and it cracks the top of your egg for you.

FrankieFrankFrank · 27/09/2020 16:31

My first thought was cherry stoner...

LiveFromHome · 27/09/2020 16:31

Egg cracker.

SillyCow6 · 27/09/2020 16:31

Yeah an egg cracker thingy!

Tunnocks34 · 27/09/2020 16:31

It’s an egg cracker isn’t it?

minipie · 27/09/2020 16:32

here

WelcomeToGreenvale has it!

FrankieFrankFrank · 27/09/2020 16:32

Though it does look more egg shaped... so I have no idea Grin

ItalianHat · 27/09/2020 16:34

Good Lord! why would anyone want a gadget to do this? When you have the edge of the bowl, or a knife.

switswoo81 · 27/09/2020 16:36

Yep to take the top off eggs.. DH bought one from wish during lockdown...Hmm

NC4Now · 27/09/2020 16:37

Wow, there’s a kitchen gadget my mum doesn’t own! She has a cherry stoner, meat thermometer and melon baller. Christmas 2020 sorted ✔️
