Trish on Jun 05, 2013They aren't really a shape that makes them useful for eating. Maybe for getting things out of jars like pickles, olives, cherries??Helpful Reply

Jean Vercler on Jun 05, 2013They were used to butter corn on the cob! scoop up butter then rub the slotted side on the cob and the heat was supposed to melt the butter. notice is said supposed to melt the butter-never worked for me-I pitched mine. would be good for getting olives out of jar though.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Jun 06, 2013@Jean Vercler Now with your answer I can see that they have a curve to the bottom that would match the shape of an ear of corn...its fun to learn new stuff.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 06, 2013Diet spoons! Tiny so you do not eat to much and slotted just in case you cheat! lol I have no idea, but I like the butter for corn idea the best!Helpful Reply

Jim D on Jun 06, 2013The picture doesn't show if the same side of each slot is slanted out and sharpened, much like a cheese grater's slots. If they are, these things could be lemon or lime zesters.Helpful Reply

Helen Pezzuto Brummer on Jun 07, 2013They are for buttering corn. The heat from the corn comes through the slits and butters the corn evenly.Helpful Reply

Trish on Jun 10, 2013Rita, that's a good idea. I'll try the corn thing but if they aren't effective I think they'd make a great wind chime - very unique! Jim D. I thought they might be some kind of zester but they aren't sharp at all and the slots aren't at an angle, they are flat so they wouldn't catch anything to zest or grate.Helpful Reply
