You've managed to stump 4 people with a collective 130+ years of kitchenwares experience! </p> <p>From the email I got back this morning: </p> <p>"Hi Sarah,</p> <p>Thanks for writing.</p> <p>I spoke with Nick, Alice, Mari and Nadia, and none of them could give me a definite answer as to what the item is used for.</p> <p>Alice had this to say, "Griswold is a very, very old and now defunct cast iron foundry from the early 1900's. Maybe even back to the 1800's. Griswold items are collector's pieces now and go for large sums on-line."</p> <p>Nadia seems to believe it may be a stovetop broiler of some kind, and Nick said it might be a griddle. I think it's possible your suggestion below (indoor grill) may also be a good use for it.</p> <p>Sorry I can't give you a more concise answer than this, seems you've stumped the lot of us.</p> <p>Have a great new year!"</p> <p>Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321503 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:00:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Sure, no problem! I emailed them, will hopefully hear back in a day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321498 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:57:46 +0000 MrsScottish 1321498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my dh says it is a skillet of some form for over a flame. :)<br /> I am very curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321387 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:52:42 +0000 jetsa 1321387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: no they know you so that's great, thanks agaon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321373 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:48:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Sure, I'll email tonight. I've been meaning to, anyway!</p> <p>ETA: Unless you'd rather email them yourself? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321274 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:11:33 +0000 jetsa 1321274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: yes, that'd be great. I'd love to know.</p> <p>DH's grandparents gave it to us and we're clueless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321203 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:42:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: If you're really curious I used to work for a kitchenwares store and I can give you their email (or I can email it to them) and ask. We didn't sell Griswold brand, but the owner has been working with cookware for 40+ years, and between her and the buyer they'd know exactly what it's used for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321197 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:40:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 1321197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I agree, that would be my guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321191 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:40:03 +0000 blackbird 1321191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be for cooking over an open flame like a grill basket. Or it belongs to a set</p> <p>I bet you could email the company. Vintage cast iron can be valuable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321177 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:34:33 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1321177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen something like that before! My best guess is that its for grilling. Maybe on a BBQ, or on top of another cast iron pan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321176 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:34:17 +0000 indi 1321176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea, but I'd use it over another cast iron to make bacon and drip the grease. But maybe I'm just craving bacon ;-) Curious to see what it actually is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-utensil-question#post-1321170 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:32:14 +0000 jetsa 1321170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is this? It's cast iron, my best guess is its griswold brand size 7.</p> <p>[attach=2716/14/myyets.450x600.image.jpg] </p>
