[quote=sdduuuude][quote=hbuzz]I was just browsing grill accessories on Amazon when I saw this thingie: http://www.amazon.com/Outset-QC73-Basket-rosewood-handle/dp/B000GBLPP2/ref=pd_sim_ol_41
It has exactly the same design as the object in the original question. It’s used for grilling fish and such.[/quote]

Holy Cow – you may have nailed it.
It was in the kitchen and looks identical.
Could be half of something that was designed to flex around fish or other fragile food for grilling.[/quote]

I agree, this is it. The design of everything, right down to the rings that hold it to the frame, match exactly.

The version Ox has appears to be custom made for attachment to a fryer or something, but I would bet you that whoever made hbuzz’s object also made Ox’s.

Case closed. (extra credit gold star to the person who can find what fryer/cooker Ox’s version attaches to)
