These items would be used by the cook and kitchen maids to prepare food.

At the top is a rolling pin for rolling out pastry or biscuit dough.

A cucumber slicer is below the rolling pin. Finely cut cucumber sandwiches were very fashionable to have with afternoon tea in Victorian times.

The third item down is a whisk. The Victorians invented these useful gadgets - a vertical gear turning one way turned horizontal gears which spun the two whisks around. This whisk was much less effort to use than one without the gears.

At the bottom is a pestle(the stick) and mortar(the bowl). All sorts of things needed crushing and grinding. Spices (like the cinnamon stick that you can see) had to be crushed into a powder. Sugar was bought as a large cone shaped loaf. it had to be ground into a powder in a pestle and mortar.
