Can't remember what this kitchen item is called. Anyone want to help?

OK, my mother used to have this wonderful counter-top thing; she used it to do all sorts of things: make pancakes, cook stews, saute veggies ...

It had 4 legs, raised about 2 inches off the countertop, and was square, and the sides of the thing were about 3 inches high all around so it could hold liquids; it also had a lid. And had a temperature gauge on the side.

It was used almost every day in our house during the 70s-80s.



For the life of me, I can't remember what it was called and it's driving me crazy. It seemed indispensable ...

Any ideas?

8. I just bought one on sale a couple of months ago.

Love it! I have a new stainless steel gas range and I hate to clean it.....so, I use the electric frying pan for cooking foods that splatter. It sure saves time and effort keeping the range clean.

10. That's called a "Burdizzo".

I read about it yesterday in a hidden post.

11. I still have a scar on my leg

from riding my tricycle into the kitchen and running into the electric skillet my mom was frying chicken in. I was 3 and I remember it clearly. It spilled in my lap and I used to have scars going up one leg to my chest and back down the other leg.

It's a REALLY good thing I hadn't started my running around the house naked phase yet.

12. Every house needs one of those. I have a big one

that can supply a dining table full of guests with all sorts of yummy comestibles.
