People on the internet banded together to figure out what this device actually was
Sometimes we come across strange objects online and have no idea what they are. Luckily, internet users often come together to solve the mystery.
One such object was a steel tool that left people confused—until someone identified it as a meat mincer. Once a common household item in the UK, it was used to grind meat, fish, vegetables, and more.
The first version was invented in the 19th century by Karl Drais. Early models were hand-cranked, pushing meat through small holes to create strands. With time and electricity, meat mincers evolved into powerful kitchen appliances with extra features like sausage-making and juicing attachments.
Today, electric mincers make the process fast and easy, but the tool has a long and interesting history. Some people online were fascinated to learn about it—while others already knew!
