Although I have mastered the use of this implement, on days when it goes amok and I find myself swabbing hot liquids from the kitchen floor I feel that it is the nemesis of life in Calcutta. Whose brilliant idea was this little contraption anyway????!!!

On better days, I love this thing because it means the contents of all these pots without handles can be placed into the fridge straightaway. Whose brilliant idea was this little contraption anyway! It should be distributed worldwide....
