This household multi-tool was first patented in 1881. I love cooking with my cast iron—and over an open fire—so this device will always come in handy. Use it for:

✔️ Lifting hot pans.
✔️ Lifting pot lids.
✔️ Lifting coffee pot bails.
✔️ Pouring liquids from pots and kettles.
✔️ Moving grill grates.
✔️ As a trivet for cookware and irons.
✔️ Tenderizing meat.
✔️ Holding candles.
✔️ It even functions as a bottle opener!

This tool is just as universal today as it was 140 years ago!

It's designed and manufactured in the United States! The tool comes heat-treated to remove any residual moisture and will appear dark in color. I recommend seasoning it like cast iron to protect it from rust.

MADE IN CHARLESTON, S.C., U.S.A. Measures 5" x 4".
