15 Grötkräkla - porridge crosier a traditional tool that was used to stir the pot, mainly in the pot so that the porridge would not form lumps or boil. According to information, it could also be used when making cheese to stir the curd.

It was used to beat the wet clothes and linens, pushing out the dirt by hammering the items against the washboard, or against the flat slabs built into the laundry area.
