we found a cooking pan at a garage sale & couldn't resist buying it, but have no idea what it's used for. it's round &has about 10" in diameter and a" deep. the pan itself has 19 shallow depressions a little over 1/4" deep. it's made of some lightweight metal (aluminum?) and is brown in color. it is hollow on the underside and has a handle. the handle says "made in italy," but the directions on the handle are in german: Nicht uberhiltzen!/achtung gebrauchs/anleitung beachten. assume the first part means not to overheat the pan--don't know about the rest.

can anyone help?
