Picked up a griswold pan yesterday that's weird, not an ableskiver but a flat skillet with circle indentions....like crumpet or pancakes? I need to season it, but it's in good shape.  Also picked up a griswold muffin pan for a friend that needs serious cleaning....

My question is does this crumpet like pan have a name? was it designed for crumpets and how do you turn the 1/2 cooked whatever with that indention?

It sounds like the Griswold biscuit/poacher skillet.  Do an internet search and you'll find some other references and pictures to verify this is what you found.

yep....drop biscuit huh....I was thinking more crumpet.....was not sure how you'd dig a pancake out of the mould to flip.

 

so drop biscuit you'd put in the oven.....we used to make drop biscuits with bisquick when I was a little kid....it's a softer consistency than patted and cut.  

 

Have you guys used this pan? if so for what and how did it work?

I've never used that particular pan, but I suppose it would be quite like the abelskiver pan or flat griddle where if well seasoned and greased the food will be loose when it is fully browned.
