Here is what AI has to say: Nathaniel Waterman of Boston patented the first cast-iron gem pan in 1859, creating a shallow multi-cup baking mold originally meant for making \"gems\" (a type of small, healthy cornmeal or wheat muffin).Nathaniel Waterman\'s design featured individual shallow cups with open spaces or cut-outs between them.The open cut-outs allowed hot oven air to circulate freely around each cup, producing extra-crispy edges on the baked breads.
