Rome Industries Pie Iron

Yes, the extra-large chamber is specifically designed to accommodate larger bread slices, so standard sandwich bread will fit with plenty of room to spare for fillings.

Yes, like all cast iron cookware, this pie iron should be seasoned before its first use to create a non-stick surface and prevent rust. Rome Industries recommends a light coating of oil and heating it over the fire to build up that protective layer.

The handles are 21 inches long, which provides a safe distance from the open flame. They are made with wood grips to help keep your hands cool while you are cooking over the campfire.

The hinged design allows the unit to open completely, making it straightforward to wipe out or scrub. Since it is cast iron, you should avoid using harsh detergents and instead clean it with hot water and a stiff brush before drying it thoroughly to prevent rust.

While it is optimized for open campfire cooking, it works perfectly well on a charcoal grill or any heat source that can accommodate the long handles. Just ensure your grill setup allows you to position the handles safely outside the heat zone.
