Rome Industries Pie Iron

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. We recommend coating it lightly with oil and heating it over a fire to build up that protective layer.

You can use it over any heat source that provides direct flame or high heat, including charcoal grills, fire pits, or even a gas stove. Just ensure your heat source is stable enough to support the weight of the iron.

Wait for the iron to cool completely before cleaning. Use a stiff brush or scraper to remove any burnt food, then rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly immediately to prevent rust; avoid using soap, as it can strip away your seasoning.

With a 21.5-inch handle, you have plenty of reach to hold the iron over a standard campfire while keeping your hands at a comfortable, safe distance from the heat.

Yes, the secure latch is designed to keep the two halves tightly closed during the cooking process, so you can flip the iron without worrying about your sandwich falling out.
