Antique Chestnut Roaster Pan

This heavy, French, rustic piece is commonly known as a poêle à marrons. Traditionally used to roast chestnuts directly over open fire embers. The perforated design allows direct flame contact and uniform heat distribution. This gives chestnuts their signature open-fire charred finish while preventing them from steaming inside the shell. The long iron handle is designed to keep the cook safely away from the fireplace or campfire heat. Vintage and antique versions of these are highly sought after as rustic farmhouse wall decor. Measures 11ins diameter with the handle at 20.5ins.
