ROME Square Cast Iron Pie Iron Sandwich Cooker For Campfire Fire Pit and BBQ Use, Original Iconic Design, 28' Long With Steel Rods and Wood Handles #1705

I love this pie iron. Had my first ones camping 50+ years ago as a kid. This brought back memories and next generation loved them. I seasoned with grape seed oil. Tip - cheapest sliced white bread and cherry pie filling has always been the favorite. After seasoning your iron and getting it hot in coals, butter one side (pie iron side) and place on each half (match tops/bottoms when closed), add 2-3 tablespoons of pie filling, place opposing bread slice over filling/bread slice, close pie iron. Heat on one side 12-15 seconds, flip pie iron and toast another 12-15 seconds. Open iron and look at one side/close iron - flip - check other side. Place side needing more toastiness back in red hot coals until golden brown. First mountain pie is usually a throw-away so use a little less pie filling. Enjoy!

Just so much fun on a bbq, firepit or even a bonfire! Toasties never tasted so good.

Arrived packaged very well with detailed instruction. I can tell it was made with care. I researched the snot out of these cookers on Amazon (and elsewhere), read tons of reviews and ultimately landed on this one. Very glad I did. We followed the seasoning instructions and started cooking over a camp fire. Worked perfectly every time. We already had a different pie cooker (as do our friends) but this one is defiantly our favourite...the quality, size and shape of the iron part is perfect for any loaf of store bought white bread. The handles are quality and comfortable to use. If I ever need to order another one I will get this one again.

Great to use on stove top or bbq. Awesome taste and much easier to clean than electric jaffle toasters!!!

Love this pie iron. Initially when I received it I thought it looked too small for a standard size slice of bread, however allowing for the indentation of the irons it became apparent that the size is more than adequate.It took a while to season per the instructions - cast iron retains a lot of heat an took time to cool before applications of shortening but once done I had great fun experimenting with toasted treats and didn't have problems with sticking. I tried egg and bacon toasted sandwiches, toasted cheese filled tortilla wrap, and finally apple pastries using store bough ready-rolled chilled croissant dough and tinned apples - all were super easy and were a winner with the family. With a hot fire from a small firebox stove I was turning the pastries and sandwiches around in about 5 minutes each. There are lots of recipe ideas on youtube.Well pleased with this pie iron. It's going to be a great addition to our camping kitchen and depending on how we get on in the field I may purchase a second one.

Bought two of these for a recent camping trip, and am very happy with them! I cook with cast iron a lot, so aluminum pans held no appeal for me, I wanted cast iron. These irons arrived quickly, in great shape and well packaged and closed up nicely. I seasoned them by first boiling off the paraffin wax that they were shipped covered with, then dried them well and stuck them on my home gas burners to completely dry them, then coated with a thin layer of Crisco. I started the gas grill with the irons apart and laying on a piece of aluminum foil, and let them bake for an hour then cool. I repeated this four times, coating with a thin layer of Crisco then back on the grill, alternating which sides faced up. The irons turned a lovely shade of black from the industrial grey, and I found a cotton bag that had held a pound of pistachios at Christmas (that I had washed to get salt out). The bag is just big enough to fit the two irons, and tied at the top just above the iron, and this is a great way to store and transport them.. On our trip, we were not using the firepit much, so I used the small gas grill that came with the camper to cook our pudgie pies. I used King's Hawaiian sandwich bread, which is a slightly sweet white bread (yum!) and a can of blueberry pie filling, first spraying the inside of the irons with Pam and using butter on the outside of the bread and filling in the middle. Toasted til golden brown, mmmmm dee-lish! The King's bread fits almost perfectly, needing a minimum of trimming, which the chipmunk enjoyed. Second round sprayed again and added a little lemon juice and cinnamon to the blueberry filling, even better. Only had to brush a few crumbs off, let irons cool and stored em away in the pistachio bag, waiting for our next adventure. Looking forward to a toasted ham n cheese sandwich next...

"Pie cooker" is indisputably the worst name they could have selected for this cooker. Who the hell brings pie filling camping? Crazy people do. A better name is "Evidence for God sandwich cooker," because anything can be turned into a sandwich, and just about everything goes into a sandwich while camping.This cooker makes the hands-down BEST -- no exaggeration, over-sell or meaningless hyperbole -- grilled cheese on the planet. You literally won't find better grilled cheese technology.About 10 years ago a friend introduced me to the legendary pie cooker. I spent the whole day post-camping trip driving around my and the neighboring towns trying to find one for my camp sack. At the time, Amazon didn't sell them. And every time I've gone camping since, I've checked Amazon to no avail. Finally, a week before camping in Sequoia National Park a week ago, this hot puppy popped up on an apathetic search, and so became the first time I employed overnight shipping. I insisted my camp buddies turn around, drive an hour back to my house and pick up the just-delivered cooker. Nobody regretted this decision the night I dug out the sharp chipotle cheddar, Monterey jack and multi-grain bread. Silence swelled over the campfire and the stars rejoiced. We applied ample butter.The fact this cooker costs only $20 indicates that there is a God. Or, rather, some Godly force in effect. Possibly karma. And anyone with an internet connection and a credit card may shave off his slice of karma, just before slathering it between two slices of buttered toast and shoving it into a campfire.One recommendation: the dude packaging these in the enormous box for which it's delivered severely dropped the ball. This cooker would be unquestionably more awesome if it were bundled with some recipe ideas, even if they were print-outs or something. So far, I've embarked on pie-cooked grilled cheese, smores, several kinds of omelets/quiches and a variety of burger-infused sandwiches. I still haven't made a pie from this, but I'm not opposed to the idea. Although, I'll be dumbfounded the day I unbundle my mess kit and take to the cooler for pie filling instead of marshmallows, Special Dark and graham cracker.
