Flat whisk (Roux whisk, pan whisk)
The shape lets you get right into the sides and bottom of a pot.
For any sauce being made in a low pot, including gravy or to lift poached eggs out of water.

Hi AG2012,

It's a good guess, but it is not the use that this particular item was sold for.

Hi Peter,

Again, a good guess, but not the right answer.

It was not an easy question for me, being very limited to stout and single malt.
Happy new year.
