Trivia question

**4V50 Gary** · February 10, 2018, 06:57 PM

What kitchen technology found in many modern American kitchens may be traced to old weapon technology?

I'm not asking about radar & microwave. I mean centuries old.

xandi · February 10, 2018, 09:02 PM

A knife

**Aguila Blanca** · February 10, 2018, 09:17 PM

The answer better be firearms-related or you'll have to warn yourself and close your own thread ...

Hint: What innovation during the flintlock era is used today?

Marco Califo · February 10, 2018, 10:25 PM

Matches, Caps, igniters, Primers.

**4V50 Gary** · February 10, 2018, 10:29 PM

Nothing to do with ignition.

HiBC · February 10, 2018, 10:40 PM

Well,casting balls uses a little iron pot and a ladle,but I keep lead out of my cooking.
I thought about a coffee grinder,nah. Funnel for cleaning?Nah.

How about a corkscrew?Trying to pull a ball? Not saying your average corkscrew will work well as a worm..but

sifter or sieve

**4V50 Gary** · February 10, 2018, 10:43 PM

Next hint: If you're modern, you use it to make cake/cookies/brownies.

K_Mac · February 10, 2018, 10:48 PM

What is pre-measured ingredients Alex?

**4V50 Gary** · February 10, 2018, 11:11 PM

It's not the appliance but the military innovation the appliance uses.

RETG · February 11, 2018, 08:52 AM

Unfair, I have never had a need for a mixer; nor have I ever used one.

**4V50 Gary** · February 11, 2018, 09:58 AM

I only noticed it when I decided to try a 19th Century pound cake recipe from CivilWarTalk.com

Erno86 · February 11, 2018, 10:16 AM

Using hot soapy water in a metal pot, plus...boiling water from a pan, in order to clean black powder rifle bores in the kitchen.

Using left over bear grease from the cooking, so as to lube bullets.

Longhorn1986 · February 11, 2018, 01:08 PM
