Definitions:

October 2014 LoAR:

1. 10 - Huon Damebrigge. Badge. (Fieldless) In saltire a flesh hook and a strainer sable. This is the defining instance of both a flesh hook and a strainer. Both cooking implements can be seen used together in the Luttrel Psalter.

December 2013 LoAR:

1. 71 - Æduin of Skye. Badge. (Fieldless) A frying pan bendwise sable.

This is the defining instance of a frying pan in Society armory. This charge can be seen in the Armorial Bellenville, a 14th century French armorial, on f.54v (found at http:gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8470169b). It is permissible to draw the frying pan with a bit of depth to the pot, although it is depicted largely from above.

Tenure of Elisabeth de Rossignol (May 2005 - July 2008) - [DEFINING INSTANCE] (gridiron)

February 2002 LoAR:

#162Artemisia di Serena. Name and device. Vert, a sea-fox guardant between in chief two tripod pipkins argent. #162The charges in chief were blazoned as pots// on the LoI, and as //pipkins// by the submitter. An SCA default pot lacks the prominent side handle and legs on this charge. We have thus reblazoned them as //tripod pipkins. Tripod pipkins are small to medium sized pottery vessels used for cooking from the 15th C. They are round vessels with a horizontal handle and three legs in a tripod configuration. The handle is to dexter by default. #162For an easily available reference on pipkins, see The Medieval Ceramic Industry of the Severn Valley//, Alan Vince, specifically chap. 7 (Pottery forms and Typology, subheading Food Preparation Vessels, Pipkins). This unpublished thesis may be found on-line at http://www.postex.demon.co.uk/thesis/thesis.htm. Also according to this thesis, the same shaped vessel made of metal (rather than of pottery) would be called a //tripod skillet// by archeologists. A picture of a tripod skillet, which is the same shape as these pipkins, may be found on p. 162 of //The Medieval Household//, Geoff Egan, Medieval Science from Excavations in London: 6, to describe a vessel of this shape.
