Rome Industries Pie Iron

Yes, like most cast iron cookware, it is best to season your pie iron before your first campfire cookout. This helps build a non-stick surface and protects the iron from rust.

This tool is specifically designed for open-flame cooking like campfires, firepits, or charcoal grills. It is not compatible with induction cooktops and will not work effectively on standard electric or glass-top stoves.

Since it is not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by hand using hot water and a stiff brush while the iron is still warm. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning, and be sure to dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing it to prevent rust.

Standard sliced sandwich bread fits perfectly. If you are using larger artisan loaves, you may need to trim the crusts slightly to ensure the edges crimp properly and seal your filling inside.

With an overall length of 28 inches, the handle provides plenty of distance between your hands and the fire. The combination of stainless steel and wood also helps keep the handle cool to the touch while you are cooking.
