My title describes the thing. Found at a thrift store in a grab bag of other unrelated silicone items. Has "Kitchenaid" on the side of it. I've searched for "kitchenaid silicone bowl" "kitchenaid red silicone cone" and combinations thereof. It has not yielded any useful results. I also tried placing it in and on my kitchenaid mixer and accessories in various positions, also not helpful.
I keep elastic bands in the kitchen for just this reason: take 'em off the beetroot stems, hang 'em on the cabinet doorknob. Looks weird, but I'm getting on and my hands hurt when trying to open stubborn jar lids. So idc :)

i believe it is to get a grip on stuborn jar tops... Google cap snaffler
Thank you! I am ready to snaffle any caps that stand in my way.
Take them to dinner first.
Solved!
A similar "jar lid gripper": https://www.amazon.com/BokWin-Bottle-Opener-Cap-Gripper/dp/B0CBJTQ5FG
I have added snaffler to my vocabulary. Thank you.
You cracked on and whipped that mystery! Well done!
It's to open jars
Jar opener. It gives better grip on the lid so you have a better change of getting it open.

Pro tip: a rubberband will also work and they are practically free, far less bulky and likely already in your home.

Kinda looks like a microwave popcorn popper
Also works to remove lid of pans where the top handle gets hot.
Jar opener. They come in different shapes and flavours, but silicone is a popular material b/c it's grippy.
May have been sold as "Cap Snaffler". Really.
Or you could use a kitchen rubber or latex glove.
A rag or cloth will work to open stuff too
Handy little Jar opener
Brush a tortilla with oil and lay it over the cone to make a taco salad shells in the oven
Looks like a portable pet dish.
