King of Pie Irons
I have been using Pie Irons for years. It is nice to finally find one of high quality. The cheap knock-offs are aluminum and often melt in the coals.

Important: read the instructions and melt off the paraffin before using.

For best results get bread larger than the pie iron. That way it crimps the bread together and you have less shirts to wash. :)

Don't buy the double pie iron since it doesn't allow for the crimp. Secondly if you think the single one is heavy wait til you lift the double. ;)

main use: 2 buttered slices of oversized bread filled with cherry pie filling!

One little complaint was that my wood handle had a abnormality on it that makes it pretty painful if you pick it up the wrong way. I may send it back for a replacement but not a reason for not buying.

Best Pie Iron!
I think this is the best pie iron out there. It is the same model that the sporting goods stores carry. Nice long handles and includes a bump in the handle so that the lock doesn't slide all the way down to the iron and get hot. The handles of mine came a little scratched up but it's for camping so it's going to get beat up anyways. I really like the cast iron construction! Like all square pie irons that I've come across, the bread doesn't seal well on all edges however it never seems to bother me. Some other people are used to the round makers that pinch the bread together and you have to cut off the edges but I think that is just wasteful and it means your pie ends up being smaller. I don't know what people use for seasoning of the cast iron but I find that the "Pam For Grilling" works great. I rarely have any issues with anything sticking in the iron!

What People Talk About Pie Pans »

jennyreigle asked on Mar 08, 2010:

Is it safe to use aluminum pie pans in a toaster oven?

helenheelss answered:
Read the instructions on box. It should say if it's safe or not. I would think if it ok for an oven, it's okay for a toaster oven. Just always follow the golden rule of cooking. NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING UNATTENDED>oh yeah, no metal in the microwave, of coarse!

strawberry asked on Jul 30, 5667:

Can I make a two layer cake using foil pie pans?

Zachary & Jeremiah's Mummy answered:
I have done this before, and yes, it will work. However, if you like a neat cake and don't want it to be lopsided, I would suggest using a knife to cut around the edge so that it's even up-and-down like a cake rather than a pie. Also, if the cake sank or rose or is uneven, you should also cut a very thin layer off the top (being very careful) so the layers will be neat and even. Hope that helps.

Edit: And yes, like someone else said, trimming it will give you a smaller cake. But it'll still taste good!

Also, another tip is to use parchment paper on the pans, or greasing with butter and flouring the pans so the cake comes out better. In case you didn't know this already. :)
