They might be dryer outlets. They usually have to be on a dedicated electric line and there are quite a few different configurations.

Re: Anyone know what kind of outlet this is?
In general, I have seen those for technology that draws a LOT of power. In my computer center, they were huge AC units and uninterruptible power supplies.
If it's in your kitchen, perhaps it's where a refrigerator used to be. It's the only thing I could think of that would need that kind of power.
eta - you're probably right, an old dryer might use it too

that is what it is, an older electric dryer. I think we have one in our laundry too too. We just left it.

Looks like a 20amp, 220volt outlet. Used for bigger appliances like big A/C units, dryers, stoves, etc.
