I bought this, this morning, at a garage sale for $2. I always grab unusual kitchen gadgets when I see them and are cheap.
It’s called a chinois (or something). It’s basically a force strainer.

Chinois is right. It's just a big arse strainer.

Most home cooks use a colander to do things like drain pasta and wash vegetables. A chinois can accomplish both of those things and more, since they are made from fine mesh metal. “You can pass a pureed soup or sauce through it to get a very fine texture, strain your own homemade nut milks, sift flour and other dry ingredients for baking, or make a very smooth ice cream base,” Tamburo says.

Looks like a medieval sex toy.

It looks like you’d use it in place of cheese cloth to really get the liquid out of stuff.

You could melt it down and make knife. I would make a nice gumbo/ Jambalaya spoon with it.

Boil potatoes and force them through it, then force them through it again for a different textured mashed potatoes.

It's good for straining soups and you can use the wooden tool to help mash whole bits into tiny bits to strain into the liquid making a puree.

I have one that is a very fine mesh stainless type and I use it for straining my stocks to get most of the little particulates out of it before cooling them down to put in freezer bags.

The one pictured has some pretty large holes compared to the stainless mesh one I have, so more larger stuff will filter through.

I use mine for straining out the hops after brewing beer.
