Just found a vegetable peeler with a very strange bladed attachment on the bottom of the handle.
The blades are all parallel but arranged in a V arrangement. There is an arrow pointing in the direction of the sharp edge of the blades and we can’t work out what it’s for.
Our best guess is a garlic slicer but then you’d end up with really big slices of garlic.
I have a definitive answer. I found a manual to the combination microwave oven, which is a Samsung C108STBC or similar.
The accessories to this oven (which can grill and/or microwave) include:
a roasting spit (also referred to as "roasting stand") which is the larger spike.
The roasting spit is a convenient way of barbecuing a chicken, as the meat does not have to be turned over. It can be used for grill combination cooking.
the skewers that fit into a plastic "coupler" that I found in another cupboard drawer (it looks a little like a cotton reel and I would have never picked it as something to be put in an oven). Together, the skewers are mounted vertically in a circle to form a "multi-spit".
Using the multi-spit with 6 kebab skewers you can easily barbecue meat, poultry, fish, vegetables (like onions, peppers or courgettes) and fruit which have been cut into pieces.
I'm unsure about an English term, but in German it is a "Quirl", related to the "whorl" of twigs on a stem it was originally made of - for example from old Christmas trees:

Later versions mimicked this with a star-shaped wooden or porcelain "head" on a wooden handle,
the plastic head is a more modern twist:

In Central Europe you should be able to buy them from either kitchen stores or - if regionally less common - from various online retailers.
Best Answer
Anything you want to make thin strips of. Green beans, carrots, something small enough to fit in there. You drag it through and it is split into thin slices.
This is an "action shot" from a slightly more specialized version available on Amazon.
