Antique muffin pan hand made

Need help id maker and age ?
the style of construction and materials used to make them. are they welded?
how were they made

they are approximately 9 1/4" from handled to handle 6 3/4" wide 1 7/8" tall

 

Are they perhaps for popovers, rather than muffins?

 

Yup. Popover pan.

And probably NOT welded but braised as welding causes way too much heat and would melt the metal in the area.

 

can not find another braize one does that make them older? Thanks everyone

 

The pan would do for Yorkshire Puddings too, and possibly better since it's only a four-container.

Which is why when someone said "Popover Pan" I mentally said NO! It's a pudding pan............which is what we called it a home - guess we never have popovers, just Yorkshire puddings...................

My metal challenge has been duly corrected...........thank you!

 

I was shocked to hear that my son's lady friend had never heard of popovers (which came up in a dinner conversation on Christmas Eve.) My son and I tried to explain what they look like and she gave us a look that said "you're just making this up!"

 

I haven't had one in ... 40 years or close to it. They were popular a long time ago when I was a little kid and kind of vanished afterward. Yorkshire pud will go away when England does. You can't have Christmas dinner without, or so I'm told.

 

OR ANY Sunday roast...says so right on the cow - MUST BE SERVED WITH YORKSHIRE PUDDS

btw - NEVER to be served with venison or any other game...............

 

The Sunday roast in these parts has gone the way of the dodo. My grandmother used to do a pot roast, but these days I'm more likely to pull a pizza out of the freezer.

 

We have a prime rib roast and yorkshire pudding at Xmas just about every year. I grew up having Yorkshire pudding with most beef roasts on holidays. As a kid I looked forward to the Yorkshire pudding more than the roast. I make Yorkshire pudding in a large baking dish using the drippings from the roast. I haven't tried doing Yorkshire pudding in a muffin type pan. Now I do popovers in a large muffin pan. I'm not really sure what the difference is between popovers and Yorkshire pudding other than the pudding usually has fat drippings from a roast and popovers are served with butter. I usually serve popovers at luncheons instead of hot rolls. I believe Yorkshire pudding dates back a good 300 years to possibly the Romans and was originally called Dripping Pudding, Don't know any history about popovers.

I have to try the popovers and Yorkshire pudding sitting by the fire. Is this pan a British or American crafted pan.

 

to get rid of the rust I am baking pan in oven after greasing it completely in corn oil. Any other suggestion on prepping this tin, next week I want to make some Yorkshire pudding and turnovers. I have never had either. Am imagining that this tin will be the perfect cooking medium that so many cooks have discover before me.

 

I'd think British, but you never know. A homesick Brit could have commissioned one here or in Canada. Crack open the Mrs Beeton's and bake away.
