Looks like a version of Toast-T-Tite, a device for making enclosed sandwiches on stovetop
burners... place a slice of bread on one half, fill as desired, place another slice of bread and
close device snugly. Toast over gas cook top until desired doneness is achieved (I seriously doubt
it would work with electric cook tops). Something tells me that type, lined with terra cotta,
should be soaked in water for a time before each use. Perhaps used lined with raw dough and filled,
to form a type of calzone.
