Kitchen appliance with which you can press croquettes. It has a cylindrical or square, usually plastic housing with one or more tubular projections at the bottom and a rotating crank or rod that acts as a lever. The croquette press is filled with mashed potatoes and with the help of the crank or rod a plate is pushed downwards, the mashed dough presses through the tubular projection. In this way a long sausage shape is formed, which is then cut into smaller pieces - the size of one croquette. On some models there is a carrying board on wheels that is slid under the press and on which the pressed croquettes end up. [MOT]

With a salmon picker you can easily scoop up and serve fish fillets. It is an elongated (approx. 25 cm), fork-shaped plastic hand tool with a straight handle. The two jaws are very close to each other, so that just a thin fish fillet can fit in between. One jaw is flat with a pointed end; the other is slightly shorter, round and also with a narrower end. The flat jaw is slid under the fish, which is now stuck between both jaws and can be served as such. It can be removed from the salmon picker with a fork. [MOT]
