What the heck are these gadgets? I cleaned up a few kitchen drawers and have no idea what these items are for. Please identify:

@ninapaley The one that looks like a comb is a cake knife.

@FarmKat On fecebook it was identified as a "cake breaker."So if an angel food cake ever enters my house, I'll know what to do with it.

@ninapaley The blue thing is for getting the skin off of garlic cloves.

@ninapaley The first thing is a clip-on handle for pots, particularly for camping gear.Very handy in general for lifting hot vessels that don't have a handle (not suitable for stoneware). Like in this photo.

@ninapaley You're welcome 😄 I was showing the first picture to a friend, and they think it might be a handle for a specific old pan. While I think it kind of looks like a fancy version of a seal breaking tool for prying open glass canning jars.

@ninapaley The black things look to me like pan handle covers, removable so the pan can go in the oven. I wonder if the squeegee-like thing is for smoothing cake icing?

@ninapaley The second item next to the one marked "Westmark" is might be a bottle opener? Not sure, but the company still exists. Send you picture to them and ask.https://www.westmark.de/en-us/kitchen-utensils/

@FarmKat @ninapaley It looks a bit like their replacement apple corer knife, too, but either way what’s the one without the hole for?

@ninapaley According to Google AI the 4th picture is a "baby food pusher.""This is a baby food pusher, a piece of cutlery designed to help young children push food onto their forks. The item is a vintage Tiffany & Co. sterling silver food pusher in the Cordis pattern. It was patented in 1912. The use of a food pusher was common during the Victorian era to teach children proper table manners."

@FarmKat Mystery solved! But why would my Mom have kept a stainless steel Danish (definitely not Tiffany silver) baby food pusher?

@ninapaley First 3: Pot lifter, usually for lifting hot things while camping; pastry decoration tool; meat skewer.At least according to google image search.However, google image search also claimed the black things are hijab pins, to protect the wearer from pin sticks, so take it for what it's worth.

@ninapaley @FarmKat Maybe you were a messy eater and needed to learn 'proper table manners' and she kept this momento?

@Gnomeshatecheese @ninapaley Friend of mine has a countertop dishwasher - can't fit most pots because of the long handles. We got her a set of those camping pots - with the handle off, the 2 smaller ones fit in the little dishwasher just fine.

@ninapaley More than likely for sentimental reasons.
