Rome Industries Pie Iron

It arrives unseasoned, so you will need to apply a layer of oil and heat it before your first cook. Proper seasoning is essential to prevent rust and create a natural non-stick surface.

While designed for campfires, it works perfectly fine on charcoal grills or any open-flame heat source. Just be mindful of the handle length if you are using a standard kitchen stove, as it is designed for outdoor use.

Avoid the dishwasher entirely, as it will strip the seasoning and cause rust. Simply wipe it out while warm, or use a stiff brush and hot water if food is stuck, then dry it thoroughly and re-oil it before storing.

Yes, the 5x5 inch cooking surface is specifically designed to accommodate standard sandwich bread with room to spare for fillings. It is noticeably larger than the classic pie irons, making it much easier to seal a full sandwich without squishing the edges too thin.

Because this is raw cast iron, food will stick if the iron isn't properly seasoned or if you don't use a bit of butter or oil on the surface before cooking. Once you build up a good seasoning layer, it will perform similarly to a well-loved cast iron skillet.
