How to use "Andiron" in context?
An andiron or, more properly, an asheniron, is a large, heavy, straight-sided cooking or heating iron used over a wood or charcoal fire. The name derives from the Latin "andrus", meaning "male genital organ", presumably because of its similarity in shape to the male organ.
An early form of the andiron appears in historical art with a triangular head, used for baking bread or turning meat. The modern andiron has a more bulbous head, better suited for cooking over a direct fire.
