    I believe that is an old fashioned cream whipper.

  • Rob said:

    It's a whisk, no?

    Fat separator, egg lifter and whisk- a multitasker!

  • Susan Shatz said:

    I think it is for whipping eggs — shirred eggs specifically!!

  • Michelle Tuberman said:

    a whisk!

  • Laura said:

    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!

  • Jason DeMartino said:

    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.

  • Rob said:

    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.

    Twirl whisk. It's used for frothing beverages or emulsifying salad dressings. You twirl it in your hands hence the name.

    It's a spring whisk used for whipping volume into egg whites and cream.

    Ooops…I didn't answer the question specifically…This spring beater is for whipping eggs in a cup. Can also be used to emulsify oil and vinegar.

    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…
