This is a modern version but you can get a good idea of what the end parts looked like. I bet you could get custom ones or maybe 3d print some to get weird shaped cookies.



This doesn't look "electric" though? What's the "electric" do?

you don't have to squeeze the handle to extrude the dough

I assume it has a motorized doodad rather than requiring grip strength.

I just chose a random pic that showed the end pieces. Didn't feel like digging for a pic of an electric one that also showed them

Cookie dough can be really stiff, so it can be a challenge to keep squeezing that trigger if you're making hundreds of cookies in a go. More so for grandmas with arthritis or whatever.

Or you're piping mashed potatoes over an entire roasted hog and you want a consistent flower pattern. What I'm saying is, the electric thing is a piping bag in addition to a fancy cookie dough extruder.

My brother when he was like 10 and a budding cartoonist, drew this picture captioned "Christmas — the season of love, joy, togetherness, and Salad Shooters for all forgotten relatives"

and it was this cartoon of a kindly grandma in a rocking chair looking lovingly at a Salad Shooter in a box in her lap, and behind her is a stack of about 20 more Salad Shooters

my grandmother made many thousands of "press cookies" with a similar appliance, and this is exactly right - poo poo is like operating a rivet gun. if an electric one worked worth a drat it would be pretty useful!

EDIT: see the one with the ring of eight holes? it makes a little flower shape, that was the main one she used, it makes cookies like the red ones here:

I confess I am also extremely weirded out by the idea of making biscuits out of something you could possibly put through a nozzle. Though admittedly I haven't made them in a very long time but I thought you made them out of a firm dough?

Yeah, firm. You ever have a play-doh extruder toy? Play-doh is stiff and holds it's shape, but it can go through an extruder. I think pasta makers work on a similar principle? A stiff dough forced through an extruder to make cool shapes.



The only restriction with a cookie gun is that it has to be a smooth dough like a sugar cookie or shortbread cookie. A lumpy cookie like oatmeal chocolate chip will get stuck and gum up the works.

My friend and I wanted to cook Easter dinner for a bunch of her Greek Orthodox friends. Big spread of Middle Eastern dishes with the main attraction being a rotisserie lamb. I dug a pit for the charcoals and had an ancient electric rotisserie that would hold a good size lamb. She picked up the lamb from a farmer's market on Saturday so we could marinate it overnight. She showed up at my front door with a box in her arms, crying, I said, "What's wrong?". When she ordered the lamb she said she wanted a whole lamb. When she got to the stall they handed her a box. She said, "What's this?". They told her, "That's your lamb. We figured we should cut it up in chunks so it will be easier for you to cook.". Irate she told them, "I said I wanted a WHOLE lamb!". Their eyes widened and they said, "Oh! you wanted a wwwhhhooolllleee lamb!". She said, "Oh I'm sorry I thought a whole lamb was a whole lamb. I'm sorry I didn't say wwwhhhooollleee lamb!", took her box and left. I said, "Heather, we can fix this!". We proceeded to the basement and got to work with some bailing wire. The pieces went pretty much where they were supposed to and we rubbed that sucker down with salt, lavender and other good stuff. In the morning I shoved it on the spit and started up the rotisserie. The bailing wire did the trick but there was a lack of rigidity to the legs and head. When the lamb would turn the legs and head would flop around in a hideous and horrifying manner. You could only look at it briefly before your stomach would turn. As the party was getting under way people would ask excitedly, "Where's the lamb!". I'd just point and then they would come back with furrowed brows. We had an empty dog house near the rotisserie (dog died a few months before), a kid asked, "Where's your dog?". I just looked over at the lamb. The kid went running to her parents. I walked a couple people over to it and when they looked at it I yelled, "It's alive!". We then referred to it as "Frankenlamb". It was wonderful when it came off the spit.

My grandma got me a salad shooter when I moved into my first apartment. I still have it and the only thing I ever have and probably ever will use it for is grating big blocks of cheese.

This is probably pretty good, while also not tasting much like bacon, but also I can't think of an alternate name off the top of my head.
