SOLVED: This apparently is a baking dish. Thrift store find for my wife. But why is there a hole in the side? What is it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Oh, and it's LARGE. That's my range it's sitting on, and it covers about 2/3 of it.

Are you sure it’s a food item? It this was used as an electrical insulator, it could have trace amounts of highly toxic and carcinogenic oil. I would not use it for anything before positively identifying it.

Frankly, we aren't planning to use it for cooking. It's been holding hair stuff, brushes and hair ties and pretty little frilly things.

It's a Crock Grill missing all the electric and grill pieces. I had one. There's no mistaking it

That’s a relief.
