FAQ
You can make pies, breakfast food and more! Have you ever heard of pie irons before? They are a two sided cast iron cooker on sticks with handles. You place food inside, clamp it shut, and cook it over the campfire.
The best meal procedure for the pie iron goes like this: grease the pans a little; add a starch, like mashed potatoes, dough, or bread; add fillings; then cover with the same starch. Clasp the irons shut, then lay flat over a bed of hot embers or coals to cook evenly.
Pudgy pies are fun and easy to make. You take two pieces of buttered bread, whatever filling you like and squeeze them into your pie irons then throw them in a hot fire for five minutes and voila, dinner is served. The combinations are limitless.
Start by spraying your pie iron with cooking spray; then you'll butter both pieces of bread and top one slice with pie filling on the unbuttered side. Next, place the bread butter-side down into the iron. Carefully close it, lock it in place, and start cooking it over the fire.
In its most basic function, a Pie Iron is a way to cook a toasted sweet or savory sandwich or hand pie over an open fire. This is done by using a cast iron cooking compartment that is formed by two metal castings that hinge together like a clam shell.
