Naww it's a just plain old cast iron frying pan, basically like what
Grandma used to have..

( actually, it IS one that Grandma used to have )

Anyways, this one has the "cross" logo on the bottom, in block letters
and so it's pre-40's, apparently

Well, apparently they weren't too imaginative in their naming system,
because my waffle iron is a #8, too! G

It, too, is as non-stick as teflon. Neat toy, actually. You place a
concentrator ring/base over the stove burner. Then the sandwich-style
irons fit into a ball socket on one side of the base. The handles fit
into a cradle on the opposite side.

You pre-heat both sides by heating one, then flipping the two irons over
as one in the ball socket. Then fill, and do the same maneuver halfway
through the cooking.

Yumm!



Pretty sure I have one of those, too, although I have no idea where exactly where it might be at the moment...probably setting someplace near the the monarch cook stove that we also ended up with and which my wife refuses to part with although it's in pretty darned sad shape.
