Contests for Our Loyal Followers

CONTEST TIME: Today's contest – identify these things.  Item 1 is in the left; item 2 is on the right.  Two photos:

ITEM 1:   There are two pictures of it. It is about an inch in diameter. No hints today. In the edge view of it below, you can see it is obviously a piece of metal and folded a number of times.

I'll start giving you hints about this tomorrow.

The prize, you ask? I thought you would do this for the shear joy of the game. OK, there will be a prize. We thought about giving away Julies chocolates to the winner but decided that would be detrimental to familial relations, so Laura and I will give the winner an always to be treasured souvenir of Chile.

ITEM 2:  Again, two photos of the item.  This is the prize for identifying this item.  You must identify it in Spanish.

It's wooden and the first hint is that it is a kitchen item.
