ROME Love Pie Iron

Yes, like most cast iron cookware, this pie iron should be seasoned before its first use to create a non-stick surface and prevent rust. Simply coat the interior with a light layer of vegetable oil and heat it over the fire for a few minutes.

While it is designed primarily for open campfires, it works perfectly over charcoal grills as well. Just ensure you have enough clearance to hold the 28-inch handle comfortably.

The best method is to clean it while the iron is still warm, using a stiff brush and hot water. Avoid using soap, which can strip the seasoning, and always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.

The turned hardwood handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during normal cooking times. However, if you are cooking for an extended period directly over high flames, it is always a good idea to use a glove or mitt as a precaution.

Standard sandwich bread works best. Because the cooking area is 4.25 inches by 3.75 inches, you may need to trim the crusts slightly to ensure the iron closes completely and seals the edges of your pie.
