Suggestions for Pie Irons/Sandwich Makers?

Single cast iron. Single just because, but cast iron because we melted a set of aluminum ones in a fire one time.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Do they need to be seasoned like other cast iron? If so, it has to be done in a campfire, right?

Yes they need to be seasoned just like any other cast iron, but it is so worth it. Once done they get better and better. I seasoned mine over our gas stove top. I would also think you could unscrew the handles and do them in the oven like any other piece of CI.

So much fun your boys will have. terry r.

Cast iron for sure. We had a girl scout troop and the camp bought aluminum pie irons. Every one was warped. We personally have one single round and one single square cast iron. I prefer the square one because you can get more goodies inside a square one. Enjoy!

Scroll down and look at the Rome offerings....best there is.

I got my cast iron pie makers at A.C.E. Hardware; I think they are Lodge but I'm not sure.

Try it with flour tortillas for the crusts and pizza toppings inside.

Your mouth will love you forever.

I didn't know special cookware was needed to make a toasted cheese sandwich. Have fun.

Thanks for the input everyone!

Just as an RV is not needed for vacationing. ;)

How do you make them over a fire?

I agree Rome cast iron is the way to go. The handles can be removed and the iron seasoned in the oven, but as long a fire is available that would be the first choice.
If it were me i would go with 2 singles, that way neither youngster has to wait.
