I believe that is an old fashioned cream whipper.
It's a whisk, no?
Fat separator, egg lifter and whisk- a multitasker!
I think it is for whipping eggs — shirred eggs specifically!!
a whisk!
I had one of those (maybe I still do) and I used it to mix eggs for scrambled eggs. It doesn't do the same thing as a whisk because you don't get the air.
Egg beater, cream whipper!
wisk!
It's a spring whisk. It wobbles while you whisk, so it's good for aerating and frothing. Like, frothy milk for cappuccinos or emulsifying dressings, stuff like that.
If you need more detail, it's good for use in a flat bottom pan or perhaps a roasting dish if you're making gravy and such. I've got one in my kitchen drawer at home.

An egg beater, which can be used to which anything to which anything at all. Growing up in India, I saw my mom use one daily. And I have one in my kitchen too!
Hi, i am finally close to completing my long awaited or more like overdue Celebrity Chef film project.
You might have heard about it over the years.
Recently I got accepted to a Kickstarter funding and we just launched it.
Please take a look, contribute if you can and spread the word to your friends who might be interested. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1741525098/ny…
