That is a Crock Grill with the burner and grill missing. I had one back in the early 2000s. The hole is for where the burner plugs into the power supply/thermostat thing. Was actually a great cooking implement, and you should try to find the rest of the parts.
Edit : heres a link to an eBay listing of the model I had.
People just can’t resist the urge to say something, even if it’s useless. Especially if it’s useless. (Even me, here I am saying something.)
But in this particular community, if you don’t actually know with certainty what something is it doesn’t seem to hard to just shut the fuck up. There’s no value whatsoever in conjecture. I had no idea what the hell this thing was but I was interested to find out, but I sure as hell didn’t feel the need to speculate…
Eh, guessing is fun and you could only know by having had one. I did enjoy just how silly some of the wrong answers were. This might be the first time I was the only one who knew a thing, too, so that was cool.

Something like this
THAT IS IT!
I knew the second I scrolled it into view. I miss mine. Might buy one off eBay now than you have reminded me of their existence.
My wife said I bet the burner and grill were either sitting close to it or in the store at the same time.
These things get separated at the thrift store and you never know they go together
Only one sensible person out of like 30 hare brained suggestions.

The shipping cost on that listing lol. So very eBay
I had no idea this was a thing. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!
Basically a countertop upside down electric broiler. I used the hell out of mine until my X-w broke it.
