Well, since HAUPT is German for HEAD, the gadget is obviously used to turn pork into head cheese!
Do I get a prize?

I think Haupt is the maker?
much more tasty than head cheese!

I made some new handles for it. looks better with them on, they still need sanding and a varnish.

Is that for cutting doughnuts?

Yes sir! could be used for bagels too.

Not likely. Bagel start out like pretzels, long rods that get stretched & welded.

Most likely a dumpling sealer/ cutter.

The wife has a couple of donut cookers but I can not find a pic of hers. They are made in St.Louis fairly common around here. this pic is off the net.
Don't know what kind of dumpling Aunt Phil makes but around here we call them donuts or doughnuts.

OG that's a frycake iron.

Donuts are raised yeast dough that gets cooked in hot oil

Frycakes are a batter product

Aunt Phil, I'm guessing your not from around here! <grin>
fry cakes? never heard of them.  can you read the casting? 
Funny when people from different parts of the country guess where I'm from they almost always say western New York, nope.
yes I do say zedd, ham radio, and I'm a hockey goalie, we do play hockey down here.

years ago in Palmer, MA,  "my birth town, there was a shop that sold "SPUDNUTS".

it was donuts made with potato in the dough,  somewhat like they make potato bread today. yes, they were good.

Got no idea where you are OG.
I started out so far back the village didn't have a name, nor did the road going to it.

I learned a lot of cooking in kid prison in Necrapbraska

I am still learning cooking.

A doughnut is cooked in hot oil, and it's raised yeast dough.

Frycakes can be either fried in an iron like you show, often done in the coals of a wood fire in the same manner as a dutch oven, or they can be dropped into hot oil to cook as well.  Frycakes are a batter dough with baking powder. 

Tater doughnuts and tater bread can cover a lot of territory, and most are damn good eating. 
If I ever find the rat bastich who swiped my tater bread recipe I intend to break his/her fingers.

the donut cooker is for a fire, no hot oil, whale blubber is for the lamps~

OG I'm getting the feeling you're the kind of guy who makes campfire donuts out of canned refrigerated biscuits and pawns them off on small children.
Title: Re: A fun what is it for you!
Post by: oldgoaly on April 20, 2016, 02:25:15 PM
nope no canned donuts, you must get your dumplings from a can.
You make the dough for your donuts, you use the donut cutter then put them in the donut cooker.
Doughnuts / donuts done right!

but I have not had a good donut like my mother made when we were small, fried in a cast iron pot.

Nope, that cast iron contraption is still made for sale, and I found the recipee.

Them things ain't donuts, they're fried cakes.
Whole different dough, no yeast, no raising.

Ingredients

1 c
    sugar
2 Tbsp
    melted butter
2
    egg yolks
1
    whole egg
3/4 c
    milk
1 tsp
    vanilla
4 c
    flour
4 tsp
    baking powder
1/4 tsp
    cinnamon
1/4 tsp
    nutmeg
1 tsp
    salt

Fakery, total disgusting fakery just like the frycakes Hostess sells in cardboard boxes.

aunt phil
take your dumpling reciepes and cook them for yourself. The donut cutter is from the 1930-50's Look up the company, the Cloverleaf donut maker is 1900-30's look them up. You telling dead people and those who don't give a damn they are wrong.
Go spend your time looking and learning something about psc motors. [size=78%]permanent split capacitor motors (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=permament+split+capacitor+motors&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=permanent+split+capacitor+motors)[/size]

Not to extend it in a bad way, but I had some chicken and dumplings last night from a can! yes they were good! <grin>
Aldi's brand, but they sure do taste like that name brand. Square dumplings in a round can? Why?

To prove it can be done?
