Wiggo me may not be on the same plane, but I was thinking of a heating element remover on an a very old stove. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Looks like a tool that might be used to do things with the doors on a range Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Wiggo me may not be on the same plane, but I was thinking of a heating element remover on an a very old stove. I think that we maybe on the same track then, but certain other cast iron cooking utensils also used a similar gadget. ;-) Cheers. |

Or is a "fits many pans" handle (Which may also be used as a great back scratcher...) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Or is a "fits many pans" handle Being a kitchen implement I'll just stick with my 1st 2 hints I think (I just hope that I'm not showing that much age here). [edit]Unless you had an unusual set, pots had a different end mostly, but also possible in rare cases, though I also remember similar items being used in other non-kitchen areas as well.[/edit] Cheers. |

Ok it looks like Wiggo is at least as old as I am, and one word short. Maybe also used for lifting certain types of lids? I take it that this fits into something also made of cast iron if I'm not mistaken and found in a very old kitchen? Chris has the rest of the answer: on an old coal or wood burner range So as they say 1+1 = X With X being the answer. "Chris and Wiggo you could get together." |

We had something very similar to remove the grate front on a Rayburn room heater/backboiler with the glass slatted fronts. This must be to open doors on a range, or to remove a grate front on an old coal or wood burner range. It's been many many moons since I seen one of those. |

My guess was already said by someone else, so I won't say it. Besides, I'm already running two threads here and one at Beta. That's enough. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Well after careful consideration it looks like Wiggo has found the mark first: used for lifting certain types of lids Then Chris mentioned that part about coal or wood burning stoves: on an old coal or wood burner So I'll call the winner "Wiggo" for naming it what we called it all those years ago, a lid lifter. All disputes will be ignored as a PM will now be issued. Thank you all for playing. |
