What, no cornbread fingers pan? :-)Yeah, I have some of those, although I never could make cornbread in them. Momma had one she used for cornbread, but I never had much luck.
However, my cornbread stick pans are used for a noble purpose. Lead. Specifically, ingots for bullet casting. My cornbread mold is dedicated to wheelweight ingots. I have a square ingot mold that is dedicated to pure lead, and I have a round, breadstick pan that it dedicated to linotype allow for very hard bullets. I wrote a blog post about it in 2010.
So, yeah, I have a cornbread thingy, but it will be used in the kitchen. It lives out near the smelter.

What do you use for smelting lead? I'm interested in reusing old soda cans and looking for a better way to smelt them.
Ahh, I followed the link and answered my question!
That'd be some 'chewy' cornbread muffins... LOL
Years ago worked for a company where we built glass-lined reactor vessels for Big Pharma and the petrochem industries (among other things like the huge copper and stainless and titanium heat exchangers for breweries and petro etc companies). the missus treasures her porcelainized cast-iron cornbread fingertrays, frying pans and dutch oven!
Neat idea! And the kernels show up more realistically in your metal than they do in my cornbread! I wonder if there is someone in a manufacturing office reading your posts asking himself why didn't we think of that -- there's a whole 'nuther market out there!
By the way if you spread sand on the concrete around your smelting area it eliminates the drips and splatters of metal sticking to the concrete making cleanup a lot easier....
