I guess that’s supposed to be an electric skillet? (Otherwise we wouldn’t usually call it an appliance.)
I guess I’m a Hot Topper (gadget that Presto marketed decades ago for the purpose of dispensing hot liquid syrup or butter at the table). You’d think they’d make it like a mini coffee dispenser with a carafe that sits on a little hot plate but no. It looked like a clothes iron and the topping came out at the top, where you would put water in if it were a steam iron.
