I was thinking the same...Perhaps you put your thumb in the hole and swirl it around the outside of the frosted cake to make ridges, like pastry chefs do...?????

It looks like a duck's foot, how many toes does a duck have? I would certainly use it to swirl frosting. I use the tip of a
teaspoon now and do one swirl at a time. Using the "thing" would be faster and more uniform in size.

I have one too. Got it along time ago from a party. I have it in my nail stuff and used it for nails but really don't need it. It isn't even enough to be much good at the frosting things cause it curves. I agree about the orange peelers though they were great. I've seen them in stores now but before you had to attend a tupperware party to get them. Tupperware parties were the great thing on military base housing back then.

Don't know what use it is intended for, but the hole may be there so it can be hung on a hook between uses?????

I would drag it across some frosting and see what the effect is.

I think I've seen those used to frost the sides of cakes with a wavy design.

I think that the forman grill scapper cleaners are more straight across

the duck foot would make a cute quilt top maybe you could use it for mother goose trail of nursery rhymes

I think you hold it on the edge of a pie crust to crimp it all around. You push the crust into the indentation to make that wavy edge.

I think it was sued for doing your nails. you wrapped syour fingers over it and they would not touch unstil sthey were dry

It is for keeping your fingernails separated while you are polishing them. They used to be quite popular. I'm not sure if they came from Tupperware or not. Just don't remember.
