Rome Square Pie Iron

The XL model offers double the internal volume of the standard square pie iron. This extra depth allows you to pack in more ingredients, making it better suited for thick, deep-dish meals rather than just thin toasted sandwiches.

You can use it on both. While it is designed for the open flame of a campfire, it works perfectly well over charcoal grills or even a backyard fire pit, provided you have a stable surface to rest it on.

Yes, like most cast iron cookware, it is best to season the iron before your first trip. A light coating of oil heated on the surface will help create a non-stick layer and prevent rust during storage.

The handle is designed with a standard length appropriate for campfire cooking, keeping your hands at a safe distance from the flames. However, always use caution and consider wearing heat-resistant gloves when handling the iron near an active fire.

Standard sliced sandwich bread works well, but for the best results, use a slightly thicker bread or a sourdough that can hold up to the pressure of the iron. If you are making deep-dish pies, you can also use pre-made pizza dough or pie crusts.
