Hi


A wallpaper seam roller makes a decent pastry roller for situations
where the usual big roller wont do. Now I've got a lot of lemons to
zest, and it strikes me that a manual wood rasp would probably do a
much faster job of this than the traditional lemon zester.

Any other examples of DIY tools being good for cookery? I guess some
kind of saw would be good for boned meat, there's the blowtorch for
browning and caramelising, hammer and screwdriver for cutting up
frozen foods... any others?

A Mole Wrench is wonderful for cracking nuts and for getting the meat out of
crab claws. You can apply a very large force over a controlled distance
without going on and smashing the whole thing to pulp.

It works the other way round to - I use my wife's self-lighting caramelising
blowtorch to light my large plumbing model.

P.S. I hope you wash the fungicidal gunge off your wallpaper roller before
using it on food!
