I found this little metal tongs in my collection.
Can you guess what it is?
It was an implement used in Finnish households many tens of years ago. I remember using it as a little girl!
It is a sugar cone or loaf cutter.
In the old days we did not get sugar in pieces or even as refined powder. We had to buy a cone or a loaf of sugar.
Every house had one of these cutters to cut the cones into small piece.
Of late I have been using jaggery, which is much more healthy than refined sugar. The jaggery comes in blocks.
I tried this sugar cutter and I got some great small nice pieces of jaggery!
