We had a single square one we used when camping. butter 2 slices of bread put one on each side, then fill with preserves (homemade of course) close it and cut off the crust, it will just burn anyway, cook on the fire, once both sides were browned, eat. Simple mini pie and delicious. Nothing better than cooking on an open fire.
After cocking my great grandmother removed dirt with a wash cloth + some water and then she greased the potts and pans with some vegan oil (sunflower or whatever). Her cast iron potts have last her entire life! Made in the 1920ies. She became 80 years old. We gave them to scrap metal after she died. Today i'm sad. I would like use them. About 10 years ago it was fashion to have those fancy blinky blinky INOX potts. Now we go back to cast iron, What a good evolution/development.
Thank you for sharing your story about your family with us. I have very similar memories & stories from my grandparents in Portugal. Cast iron will always be my go-to material for cookware. Call it nostalgia, but there is something "there" that makes it special. Have a great day! -Hg
Coach Helder -Reviews I think it is the future material for potts and pans. People go back to it. It is the oldest material for potts and iron is solid + it is the most metal be found on earth. It can be recycled as often as you want. No other material can make such delicious fried potatoes and other yummy foods as iron. Made in alu pan? No taste. I miss grannies pan... Did you know? Finding a horseshoe in many European countries brings you luck. Myth? No. Because a traditionell smith could make all of it, such as pins, cookware, jaffle irons and so on. I think, i will order my jaffle/pie iron soon.It seems to be very versatile. Even enough for campers or a small family. I found some recipes from Australia: www.taste.com.au/news+features/articles/7873/12+decadent+jaffle+recipes+thatll+blow+your+mind
Good to hear, Justin! It is still a hit at camp-outs, with the awesome grilled cheese sandwiches it produces. With the current pandemic, I find myself using it in my backyard fire pit quite often. It breaks up the monotony and the process takes the mind away -for a bit. When you add in the tasty treats at the end of it all... Life just isn't that bad. ;-) Cheers, my friend! 🍻 -Hg
I actually work at Rome industries for the owner he's a cool guy and they have a lot of cool camping supplies, he just told me that a bunch of reviews of the products so here I am checking them out, if you see this Richard what's up! Lol
Have you guys tried camp baking with the pie irons? I've only seen people use these for cooking sanwiches/pies/cobblers, etc, but I also use mine as an oven for baking fresh bread, cakes, Muffins, pretty much anything you can cook in a regular oven, you can cook in a pie iron once you figure out the technique. This thing bakes amazing.
Why are there so many bad reviews about the rods breaking on this item? Are people holding it over the fire (too much stress on the joint) rather than resting it in the coals?
I have no idea, Zac. All that I can say is that it works well for me; for quite a few years now. And... I'm certainly not a "gentle" kind of guy, when it comes to my gear. Thanks for sharing! -Hg
Thank you for taking the time & for the support. This is how we all learn & get the correct facts; Much Appreciated! Be safe & enjoy your Thanksgiving! -Hg
rastas000 oh yeah a lot earlier... my grandmother still used a cast iron cook stove until she died in the early 80's. Her stove had one that came with it, you took the cover off the fire box and it fit just like the cover did perfectly. The stove was HER mothers, so it was from the 1800's...
@@CoachHelder well, Im interested to see if a whole slice actually fits in the irons. Many I've used require trimming of the edges and dont fit a whole slice.. Also Im interested to see how easily the cooked item can be removed from the iron once cooked. Many I've used stick and the sandwich is destroyed upon removal despite spraying the inside of the irons with oil or using butter.
Well, the slices of bread do vary in size, so it would be better to check the dimensions of the pie iron and compare it to the slice of bread that you want to use. -Hg

Very cool David, I completely agree that there is nothing better than cooking over an open fire.
Thanks for sharing!

I just picked one of those on a yard sale plus two other cast iron pans for 20 buks!
Great find!
Enjoy.

I agree, Björn! Thanks again for sharing some great info & let us know how the recipe works out once you get your pie iron. Have a great day! -Hg
Been a long time pudge pie maker. This video sold me on the double. Cheers 🍻

It's been a while since I did this review but the pie iron is still a part of our outings.
Thank you for stopping by.

if I say first...don't take it badly...it's my first first...
Originators?? Toastie were around much earlier,, 40's
I was just repeating their slogan. Thank you for the info! -Hg
Coach Helder yup, got it... they took liberties then. Having said that, I thought your review was right on the money..

The Toastwich was used before 1920 and later registered March 1925. These are probably at least 100 years old design.
Show us some food
I'm a horrible cook but I could pour when hell of a beer! 😁 🍻

you need to show us an actual cook using this product
Why is that, Tanvir?
