Famous Death Row Last Meals
Think you're pretty handy around the kitchen? Having nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon? Break up the monotony of the work day by checking out the Name That Utensil Quiz at the TLC website. There are photos of common and not-so-common implements to identify, along with a couple of questions about their uses. Your answers on the 11 questions will get you a rating from Tournant to Executive Chef so you can see how you fit into the kitchen. Take care to read all the questions carefully, though - while some are easy, others are a bit on the tricky side.
I'll admit that my score was 10/11. Take the quiz here and leave your score in the comments, below!

By the time I got to the colander spoon, I knew they would want to call it a slotted spoon as well. But a slotted spoon is that big one with cut-out lines that lives somewhere in the far reaches of my silverware drawer.

Though frankly any quiz that would guess people couldn't identify a can opener or a peeler, probably isn't really worthy of Slashfood readers.
And who's that dishy Take Home Chef, and does he ONLY cook for women? (Looking at the episode names)

I'd never heard the term "spoon-strainer" before, but that thing doesn't look like a slotted spoon to me. A slotted spoon is NOT round and it DOES have slots, not circular holes.

I messed up on the Cake/Spatula one... D'OH!

boo.

The cake/spatula one got me. I figured that since the pic showed the whisk with an egg they were going to be picky.
