what is it?

Answer 1

BEEP! Everyones wrong. : D

It's a commercial egg white strainer. Old one. Large enough for chicken and duck eggs.

But the rule of a tool is.....

If there's a will, there's a way! So use it for anything that will make your life easier in the kitchen.

Answer 2

It's used to slice tomatoes evenly...

Put the tomato in the round part at the end, with the openings facing upward, then slice the tomato with a knife... Remove the tomato, and cut the rest of the way through...

Answer 3

if it opens it may be to hold a tomato to be able to cut it.

Also it may be a serving utensil.
