Non-curl bacon cooker.

Yes indeed - congratulations on a quick, and correct answer.

It's a bacon cooker, Mike. The bacon goes on the cylindrical curve, the 
perforated cover keeps your meat flat, the grease collects in the 
surrounding channel. We had one when I was a kid. I'd get one now if I 
could find one.

tortilla warmer

It would probably work for that, and perhaps provide an interesting light show as well! -mgr

Looks like a bacon press, except for the curve.
