Around 1910, the Wagner Manufacturing Company of Sidney, Ohio added a new item to its line of Wagner Ware cast iron products: what they called the "Krusty Korn Sausage Pan." It was a kitchen appliance for home use.
An advertisement for the product read: "Cornbread and sausage have always been a famous combination. With these irons, they can be baked together as a full ear of crusty cornbread with a sausage inside. They are as easy and quick to bake as waffles. Other combinations such as wieners in biscuits can be made in these irons."
You cooked the wieners thoroughly first separately, then put them in corn bread batter into Wagner's "Krusty Korn Sausage Pan" cast-iron mould that moulded the finished product to resemble an ear of corn. There was a bottom section, and a top. If you had an electric stove, you could use it as is. If you had a wood, coal, gas or other stove, there was a square base for the mould assembly to be placed on. The base could also be used on its own, as a griddle for grilled sandwiches, stove-top quick breads, frying meat, etc.
