The tid bit

Works great and fun to use. Great for camping or home as and backyard grilling. Anything you put inside comes out supper hot and flavorful. Roast beef ... Peanut butter and jelly will blow your mind.

In 1970 my grandmother bought a cabin on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, had a fireplace put in and purchased a toast-tite from a local hardware store which she kept hanging on the brick wall of the fireplace. My sisters and I spent every winter break, spring break and a good chunk of summer vacation with my grandma and we LOVED Tahoe and that cabin. One of our favorite things to do was make sandwiches and pies in the fireplace or on the gas stove in the kitchen. Long before I knew what a Panini was, we were creating little sealed flying saucer shaped ham & cheese, salami, pizza sauce & cheese, fish stick & tarter sauce, sausage & scrambled egg sandwiches- Yummy little slightly crisp, golden brown sandwiches with perfectly melted cheese. It only took a couple of minutes for each one and we could easily make enough to feed all four of us in a short while. My grandma would use blackberries or peaches with a little butter, sugar and corn starch to make pie filling, we'd make dessert pies using white bread. They were divine and tasted extra good because we made them ourselves. I've always loved those memories and many times thought about getting a "pie iron" like my grandma had. I finally got one and it did not disappoint. I seasoned the inside with a few very light coats of peanut oil the night before I used it for the first time and used just a wee bit of cooking spray when making sandwiches. I tried it out on my induction stove top, it worked perfectly and took a little more than a minute for each side. This will be fun to use in the backyard on my little Weber Q and I might even use it on my little emergency butane stove during a power outage. I don't go camping any more, but it will be fun for beach fires too. LOVE IT♥ ps it's very sturdy and well-made, the quality is fantastic. The retro packaging is cute. Next time I use it I will come back and post some photos.

Love this Mt. Pie maker! I use this over fire and coals. Since this is aluminum, there's a small learning curve compared to the cast iron makers. I find it cooks and cools much faster, which yielded better results for me once I learned the nuances. My preferred Mt. Pie maker when camping!

Cute sandwich maker gadget. Fun to use. Like a toy. Slow but cute

I had one of these growing up over 60 years ago. Never could find a replacement until I saw this one. Love it. Bought one for my son as well as my nephew too!

Makes the most amazing sandwiches, different than a panini press, this seals the sides so that you end up with a pocket type item. Perfect for both sweet and savory. This is just like the one I had when I was a kid growing up, really well made and easy to clean. Choose short handled for everyday use on a cooktop, Long handled if you want to use for camping

I love this pie iron, it is perfect and creates the perfect sandwich. However, if you do not have a pair of heavy duty gloves to get it out of the fire you are screwed- since the handles are so short. It is a little annoying due to the fact every other pie iron I’ve owned in my life has had normal size handles, so I very much was not expecting a mini pie maker when it arrived.

Este tostador de pan para fogón es una excelente opción para quienes buscan algo práctico, económico y funcional. Está hecho de un material resistente que soporta bien el calor directo, y su diseño permite tostar el pan de manera uniforme por ambos lados.Me gusta porque no ocupa mucho espacio, es fácil de usar y no necesita electricidad, lo que lo hace ideal tanto para la casa como para llevar de viaje. El pan queda crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. Otro punto a favor es que se limpia fácilmente y se calienta rápido. En general, es un producto simple pero muy efectivo, cumple perfectamente su función y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Lo recomiendo totalmente para quienes prefieren un método tradicional para tostar el pan.
