Any ideas on what this is? height is 4-1/2" x 3-1/2 wide. Seem to be cast, but not heavy like iron--maybe aluminum???? Pins on the top half fit into slots on the bottom, then twisting locks the two together. three short legs on bottom, and ring on top.
I'm thinking could put a food item in it, then lower into water and remove and set out to dry/cool?????
