In my own Quest to Survive, my #kitchen has been the nerve-centre of designing/creating/building/modifying things to help me stay alive through the crisis of the moment, as well as as more obvious ongong crises such as extreme heat, terrible air quality, etc. In some cases, #OffTheShelf technology to mitigate an issue exists, but (for example) both #poverty and #lease requirements prevent me from acquiring energy-efficient cooling technology. Even if I pay 100% of the cost of buying and installing a #window #AirConditioner, it means a breach of lease and possible #eviction. Given that I'm pretty sure I would not survive many days of being #unhoused (due to #MedicalConditions and #disability-management challenges, not due to any fellow unhoused neighbours), I have worked very hard to figure out other ways to mitigate heat in my unit. 8x #mitigations #experiements #SelfHelp #tenancy

Now of course, throughout all this time we had also been #decluttering the kitchen, with a great deal of progress both in permaent removal/disposal but also of putting things that did need to be kept either away or at least collected together with similar items in an accessible, clear-sided and labelled box. Somewhere in the lower #strata, my family member found the item I pictured in the first post of this story. They looked at me with a raised eyebrow, so I explained that I had no idea what it was but I had tried using it for poking holes in various experiments whilst creating/developing/building/modifying items to help #mitigate all these major issues in recent years. The thing is, unlike me, they knew EXACTLY what it was. The raised eyebrow was not a silent 'WTF is this?' but a 'Why on earth does my non-cooking relative have a #MeatTenderiser?' 24/x #objects #purpose #discovery #cooking #kitchen #tools #KitchenTools #FoodPrep

What is this cast-iron device? It's way up high in a kitchen from the days of wood and coal. It could be cranked from below, and would cause the horizontal bar to rotate. The text on the iron box that holds the gears in place says "James Tuck" and then some illegible words. Was this to open a roof vent? Thoughts? Feel free to boost. #IndustrialRevolution #CastIron #kitchen
