[Sca-cooks] Date for battered deep-fried stuff

[Terry Decker]

Timbale (or Timballo) is used to describe a pan or the food prepared in the 
pan.  Timbales are generally wider at the top than at the bottom.  In the 
U.S., they are commonly used for serving small amounts of sauce or other 
condiments or as specialized cooking pans, as with panettone.

Timbale derives from the French for drum.  Scappi's bocculo is described as 
a cylindrical copper pan, a sort of timbale.  That would suggest a tapered 
cylinder, which would provide a wide mouth for easy access with utensils and 
a narrowing body which would use less oil than a straight walled cylinder.

Sorry, but is that a cooking utensil or a type of fish? I 'm afraid I don't 
recognize either "bocculo" or "timbale". :-(
