Actually, not so much a gadget as a bowl. Or is it a colander? Or a sieve? Well, that’s what makes it so great. It’s a metal bowl that you can also run water through. So *TA-DA* rinse your soft summer fruit and then serve it IN THE SAME RECEPTACLE. Cunning AND elegant, eh?
Sorry, I know I shouldn’t be too bothered about stuff but this bowl does lift my heart in the summer months. Got it in a French market, natch.
Don't eat them all at once, now

That looks great! I’m off to France again very soon and I shall be dragging the Vicar (mine, that is) round the markets until we find one! (Never really need an excuse to visit French markets, anyway.)

Hello hopeeternal – welcome to the Vicarage! I found the bowl/sieve on a hardware stall and there was a good selection of sizes. Enjoy your trip to France.
I’ve been a silent visitor for some time, actually! Greetings from London (Chelmsford Dio, Barking Area, to be precise).

Looks to me like a large metal sieve with the handle taken off 🙂
Hi étrangère. Well, yes, sort of. It has a base too, so it doesn’t fall over. Amazing technology, eh?
Haha, that’s really awesome. I should get one of these, do you think I can find one in a different color? Almost all my kitchen tools are green (I seem to be fascinated with this color).
Hello cool gadgets and welcome to the Vicarage. I think the French markets only produce these in boring old steel wire – I’ve never seen a colour more interesting than grey. But glad you like it!
