Rome Industries Pie Iron Sandwich Cooker

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.

Wonderful. Bought this as a present for munchies late at night round the fire. Cheese toasties are just the tip of the iceberg, so many recipes on Pintrest for pies and other delicious snacks xxx

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

Present for friend, he loves it

Toasted campfire sandwiches. Works well with a little patience to get the sandwiches out. Found placing bread in side on works much better

I purchased 6 of these for a summer project working with children and their families. After some research, I was informed that these were a good, well made brand. On there first use, two broke on the hinge while being used by families, and another the handle dropped out. That's a 50% fault rate. I contacted the sellers (Rome Industry) direct, as their website suggests they will deal with any issues due to faults on the manufacturing instantly. To be fair, they responded quickly and I sent them photos of the problems and they were surprised by the fault, which they suspect might be a hairline crack during production. They promised to send replacements. I purchased these in July 2019, and it's now January 2020, and despite follow up emails, I still haven't received my replacement pie irons. Will not be buying these again and very, very disapointed with what I thought was a reputable family business :(

Works great with super crispy toasted sandwiches. Like others have said, cut off the crusts from standard white loaf and they fit fine. I make up a few sandwiches and then toast one after another, as they are so popular. Work great over a gas hob.

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

Pie Irons are so much fun. We use them for camping, fire pit, bbq, and sometimes on our gas stove. They are very versatile. We cook a lot of different things in them from grilled cheese sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, chicken, steak, cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, garlic bread, and so on. The instructions say to season them before you use them. We seasoned ours in the bbq on the grill at 300-400 degrees for 15 min. We first wiped them down with vegetable oil. Pam, Crisco, vegetable oil, olive oil, will all work fine. After the recommended 15 min, we repeated the process. The more times you do this the better non-stick surface you will create. Tip: Wipe down between each use; it makes it easier to clean. Do not use soap to clean since it is cast iron. Soap will strip the seasoning away. Use a good scrub brush like a chain mail scrubber, then wipe down with towel when dry. Don't let them air dry. Water on cast iron equals rust. Also, wipe down with more oil after you have cleaned and are ready to put away. This also helps prevent rust. We do this on all our cast iron pans after each use. Recipe ideas: Carnea-sada. Use skirt steak, or whatever steak you choose to use and marinate with a Carnea-sada seasoning. Cook in pie-iron and serve with fixings same as you would for tacos. Monkey Bread: Get a can of biscuits. 1/4 the biscuits dough. Put brown sugar, regular sugar, and cinnamon in Ziploc bag. Place cut up dough in bag and shake. Place dough in pie iron and cook until golden brown and dough is done. One of our favorites the kids love. Grilled cheese sandwich: Make your favorite grilled cheeses any way you want and cook in pie-iron. For really good one try Pesto, Avocado, Havarti and Turkey. Picture below is of ham and cheese. Really easy to cook in pie iron and tastes awesome. Update: 5/18 Almost two years later and they work just like the day we got them. Definitely recommend.

Worked perfect! Make sure you read the instructions and do the steps before you use it for the first time. Got a good deal on prime day. Favorite is with the tortilla and fixins. Make sure to always grease it up.

"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.
