Darn....I can't get it any bigger It's a different version of this.

 

[CES]

OK, so i can see this one...but i still don't know what it is...

oh, wait is it a thing to brew turkish coffee?

 

[whiskey]

Ember holder?????

 

[classwife]

...trying to figure to 2 pics together !

I don't know this one at all !


I think of a stainless or copper "cup" with a handle for a Turkish coffee maker...

 

[CES]

I do too classy, but it's all i could think of...

 

[whiskey]

I thought an old foot warmer kettle that held coals.....LOL

 

[CES]

Your ember holder made sense Whiskey...but my track record on these isn't the best

 

[Mary Kay]

It looks like a bed warmer! LOL But maybe a popcorn maker? Does anyone remember Jiffy pop?

Salt pig is right! Big mouth so you can use your fingers or a spoon (for fussy types) to grap a pinch of course salt. Wouldn't work in Fl. because of the humidity..we have to add rice to our salt shakers to keep them from clumping and to abosorb moisture.

 

[rkayw]

Is it a pot to melt chocolate (or such)?

 

[Fudgey]

Nope......none of the above.

Should I tell now????

 

[whiskey]

Yes.........

 

[Fudgey]

They are chestnut roasters.........
The small is to put on a small fire in the coals.
The big is held over a fire.

Mike's Maternal family are from Belguim..he is only 2nd generation American on this side. They were the worlds best cooks, all 5 sisters (Mom and Aunts) and his grandmother. But some of the tools used were..odd! I found on-line some of the tools his Aunts and sisters still use (stuff passed down).

You call it a "pizzelle maker".

In Belgium and Holland it's called a "stroopwafel maker".

You make the two thin cookies, and put a thin layer of "stroop" (syrup) in between them.
They sell them fresly made on the markets, they are the best!

here's the recipe:
