Here's a picture. Any thoughts?

How weird. It looks like a pizza pan with a stovetop handle.

Could be for big crepes. Personally, that would work for me. You
could also cooks eggs on it... bacon, whatever. I'm not a big fan of
dedicated pans for anything. Multi-task, son, multi-task.

The #1101 is a heavy duty grill scraper:

Err, maybe not. It just a shallow pan. Good for heating tortillas
I guess, but not much else I'd cook with that, or any aluminum pan.
I wouldn't even use that as a fajita pan. Shape and size is right,
but not in aluminum.

Like all aluminium pots and pans, this one should be perfect at giving
you Alzheimers.

Crepes. Definitely crepes. They can be almost any size.
It would also work for omelets.

I would not be happy with 1/8" think omelets! I wouldn't want to make
crepes on this piece of aluminum, either, but maybe I will have to one day
when the iron gets too heavy to swirl and twirl.

The retro style bakelite handle and that the aluminum is stamped
rather than spun tells me that pan is from the mid 1940s... was
typically used as a pancake/grilled cheese griddle back then (there
were square versions following), but that's the extent of its
interest, it has absolutely no culinary value today except possibly a
defroster.

Heh. In my younger (and more stupid) days I had some aluminum pots and
pans. Bloody awful things. They warped, stained easily (I found them a
b*tch to clean) - and I am almost convinced they were not good for my
health either... Needless to say, I don't own any aluminum cookware
anymore. Good quality SS is the way to go, IMHO.

Adding to the above, aluminum conducts heat really well, which means it
burns food rather easily. Stainless is much better for controlling
temperature, cleanup, and so on. If you really want the heat distribution
of aluminum, get a SS pan with an aluminum core, like a basic All-Clad, or
Calphalon Tri-ply.

This isn't as heavy as cast, but it's still heavier than it looks.
