Oh NO!!!
Those things are
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! You should get it out of your house immediately, if not sooner.
I am highly experienced in their disposal, so you should pack it very carefully and ship it to me even before reading the end of this message!!
In all seriousness, that is a wonderful piece and I have been looking for one like it for years now. It is called a "spider" and it can be used like a dutch oven, or like a skillet because of the handle. Take very good care of that piece and keep on loving it by using it frequently.
Oh, and post a picture of it so those of us less fortunate can drool over it.
