Hello fellow teachers I came across two great websites fully packed with the names of baking equipment www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/ guide/baking-equipment and www.catkecraftshop.co.uk/shop/2/ but I still cannot find the name for the equiment in the picture below |

I am a big-time (and big) home baker, but I have no idea what this thing is, let alone what it �s called. What is it used for? What is it called in your language? Bruce |

Perhaps it �s a pestle. No mortar, though, so, perhaps not. It looks as if it could be dangerous, should it fall into the wrong hands. |

Yes, Spinney, my first thought was a pestle, although the handle seems a little long for that. |

Is it a baking equipment or something that is used for making drinks (like "caipirinha", the brazilian drink)? Used for macerate lemons?... It seems to me like one of the pieces of a cocktail set like the one below... Sadly, I don �t know the specific name... Sorry...

If that �s what it is, it �s called a "muddler", and it is used to "muddle fruit". So, Spinney, it is a pestle, just for a specific use. Bruce |

It �s called "pa�ka" in Polish (at least in my family) and it was used for mixing egg yolks and sugar. Usually made of wood. |

If it isn �t a muddler, then maybe there isn �t an English name for it. Maybe it �s part of Slavic culture or something. |

It �s a "pestle" but most people wouldn �t know it except to say "mortar and pestle." Maybe use this image instead so it has some context of use? http://www.chomik.pl/allegro/MAK%20MALOWANA.png Also, I �ve never seen a wooden one before. |

To be more precise , this piece of equipment is used for creaming (mixing) the ingredients such as butter, flour , eggs. I guess that pestle is a good suggestion , although it is used for grinding , crushing them , and additionally, as it was suggested , pastle is much shorter one. I am even not sure that it is possible to come across the device in other countries. In my language it is called "club" (literal translation) or the proper name for it is , to my amazement, wooden sphere for creaming the dough . Thanks anyway.

In the US, we use the back of a wooden spoon, which is essentially the same as half of this "club" (clearly named for its shape). Bruce |
