In its most basic function, a pie iron is a way to cook grilled
sandwiches and fruit pies over an open fire. This is done by placing
the food (in the above cases, two pieces of buttered bread with
cheese or fruit filling) inside a cooking compartment formed by two
metal casting that hook together using a hinge. Metal rods with wood
handles extend from the castings so the user can easily manoeuvre
the pie iron over a campfire. A few minutes over the heat and a
perfectly toasted sandwich or pie emerges from the cooker.
Of course if that's all there was to a pie iron,
this site wouldn't exist, you wouldn't be reading this and we
probably wouldn't have been making them since the early 60's. What
the pie iron really does is bring together family and friends around
a campfire to enjoy easy to cook snacks in a fun and inclusive
environment.
We offer designs in several different styles -
round, square and double-sized. Additionally, we have specific
designs such as a waffle iron, a burger and meat griller and a
panini press.
Regardless of material or shape, all of our pie
irons are made using top quality components such as chrome plated
rods and long hardwood handles and are assembled with care in our
Peoria, Illinois workshop (using imported & domestic parts.) All
our products carry a five year guarantee.
