Found this left in the kitchen of a newly-bought house, it’s about the size of a standard home oven rack. We’ve been stumped for years. Much of the house hadn’t been updated since the early sixties and the kitchen in particular was a near-time capsule – seems likely this hails from that era, but we can’t know for sure. Any ideas?
More from the owner:
Additional details are in the sub header. I posted this to some culinary groups about three years back, but no one could identify it for sure. I’m fairly certain it’s a cooking implement, though, given that it was found in the kitchen.
Some of the people opinions on it:
- This sub has taught me more about random kitchen gadgets that I would have ever imagined was possible.
- It’s a Barbecue Appetizer Pan
- You could probably use it as a takoyaki pan
- You kept it for years? Hoping one day you would find out how to use it? are you going to try it now?
- And here’s me, thinking it looks like something you could poach a dozen eggs in simultaneously
- I’d still say that would make some banging Yorkshire puddings.
- I’m not sure about scale, but it reminds me of an egg tray used to keep eggs on display on the counter.
- This is clearly for multiple tiny soups.
- Based on the era it’s from and the handles I suspect it might actually be for serving something rather than baking. What, I still don’t know.
- Cool, Now I want to see one in use.
- Appears to be the fancy pee cups for gamers
- You’re allowed to have soup, but only a little bit!
- Yorkshire pudding tray?
