Pestle for food grinder
Wooden pestle used to press food into the funnel of a grinder (e.g. meat
grinder, rotary grater, etc.). The pestle always takes the shape of the
funnel of the mill it belongs to. There are cylindrical, conical and
parallelepiped-shaped pistils. The cone-shaped pestle is distinguishable
from the cone-shaped pestle of the potato mash strainer which is smaller
and the mould for cardboard boxes. [MOT]
