This came with a grill I picked up. It is cast iron. I ran the grinder with the wire wheel over it briefly to clean it up. I am guessing a press of some sort, but why the pattern and holes? Pay shipping and it is yours. If not thrift store donation.20210705_095955.jpg20210705_100015.jpg
 
I did find something different. Scroll down and it's in Spanish and says it is for a Jenn Air Stove.

It's a vintage grill press. Just did a Google image search and it came up.

Correct! I recognized it right away — we used to have a JennAir stove, and I cleaned those darned things many times. There are actually a pair of them; they sit under the grill element, and the wire supports the element. The holes allow grease to fall into the drip pan.

I can't really picture that. A Broiler heats from above. Did these hang below the food or above? What was there purpose? I suppose the guy I got the grill from used it as a press since I found it on the grill.
 
It's the Jenn Air thing. Had a stove that used them at our old house. It was a stove top that had cartridges with two burners each. You could remove one cartridge and place these in the bottom of the basin where the cartridge had been, the heating element would then plug in and sit atop the wire, handle looking things on these cast iron things. And then you would place either a grill or griddle over that.
 
Jon wanted it for a napkin holder as it gets windy in TX. It will be on it way to a new home for an unintended, but useful purpose!
 
Had a Jenn-air stove once with the grill insert. What a stupid idea. It gives you a 2-burner stove and a useless grill. You use it once and then order a module with 2 burners to replace it. 15 minutes of grilling and 2 hours of cleanup.

I agree. We bought a module shortly after moving into that house. I did use the griddle a lot for breakfast though. Cleanup for that was easier. We moved out of that house a year ago, and I much prefer the kitchen in the new house. Folks before us put some really nice (and pricey) appliances in there.
