Maybe, except that it's flat, and the photos I looked at just now all show the metal part as having a "bowl" in it.

It DOES look sort of like this -

- except for not having the crescent depressions in it - or the circular one. Also, mine seems to have two layers of metal, for some reason.

Why the holes?

That looks about right:

(It includes instructions. Personally, I don't have trouble with keeping the flame really low when needed.)

It helps to spread the heat more evenly, so you don't have hot spots.

It it did not have holes it would be a lid. The holes let the steam out

I've got one of those. Those things are wonderful for use with a wok and you can strain stuff and use it to skim liquids. Awesome!

So I don't have the right kind of camera. Many people don't. I figured it wouldn't be long before someone would make the right suggestion and THEN I could find the right photo. Which is what happened.

It does make it a little easier. Then there was the guy who seemed to
spend all his time cruising EBay looking for things to quiz us on.

Not me. Perhaps the whips and tazers couldn't reach across the
Atlantic; at any rate I didn't realise answering was compulsory so I
just passed on by. I hope you have all received medical treatment and
counselling for the trauma you suffered.

Sorry no, I didn't scramble; that's why I asked about a picture.

Would someone please enlighten me on how one searches for a photo when one doesn't know the right keywords to use?

It's like trying to search for a song title when all you can do is sing "la-la-la." One time, when I tried to do that, the program (I forget which) couldn't even identify "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

I just searched of "kitchen utensil with holes" and looked at the images
returned by the search. Then I quickly found this:

Thank you. I might have assumed that a search like that wouldn't begin to narrow it down, but now I see otherwise.

Had to look up the Mayocoba. I think that is what is called Canary
Beans here at the Hispanic grocery place near me. A distinct yellow
but they don't totally stay that pretty color on cooking.

They are more in effect like butter beans and would do well if you want
a bean that melts into the pot over longer crockpot cookery. Call it,
bean soup. If you were to mix the 2 types, expect the pintos to stay
fairly well shaped as these form the thick soup base.

Last use if right that they are the same thing, was to add some
leftover Canary beans to a base Juk (rice porridge) made with chicken
stock and Jamacian curry plus mushrooms and small cubes of cooked ham.
Different but i was playing in the kitchen and liked it.

Yes, extremely common for those of us with gas ovens. I have 2 of them.
