Maybe for poaching pears? Or perhaps it's something to do with
avocados? Otherwise, I have no clue.

It's 10 inches long. If you've got a pear or
avocado that big, I'm more interested in the
fruit than the gadget.

Oooops <G>. Now that would be a pear indeed. Perhaps a pear wrapped in
pastry? Heliphino

Put stuffing into it, close and shove it into a turkey.
When done, the stuffing , flavored from the bird, is now easily remove
from the bird.

That's the first sensible explanation yet.
Is that a guess, or do you really know?

One problem is that the gadget would get
pretty hot when the turkey is roasted.
I suppose a string could be threaded
through it, and then it could be removed
from the bird just by pulling on the string.

With a length of window sash chain tied on one end and filled with
clumping cat litter it would make a fine reusasble tampon for
cyberooze.

I have seen similar objects, use for that purpose. So essentialy this
was a guess.
