Brass implement for browning food. Possibly Dutch c.early 1800s. Many salamanders were iron, but some like this were crafted in brass. The circular head was placed in the fire to get hot enough to toast or brown the surface of foods. They are allegedly named after the amphibius species of salamander called the ‘fire salamander’ with black and yellow spots, shrouded in folklore for its mythical abilities to emerge from fire. Some kitchen salamanders also rested on iron front legs to support the handle, giving it the stocky appearance of the salamander. Typically in use from the 1700s, a similar tool exists today called a caramelising iron.
