INTRODUCTION

– Your Coghlan’s Cast Iron Camp
Cooker is made of cast iron.
Do not leave in heat unattended.
– Preheat only enough to melt
butter.
– Do not leave in heat when empty.
–Use over a low to medium heat
only to avoid food burning.
– Do not set on surfaces that can be
damaged by high heat.
– Use wooden handles only. Do not touch the
cast iron cooker or the steel shaft. Metal parts
will retain heat for some time.
– Wipe clean when finished.
– Children should use only with close adult
supervision.
CAUTION

These basic simple instructions are followed for
all sandwich or pie applications.
1. Spread butter or margarine evenly on a slice
of bread. Place the bread, butter side down
on the cooker.
2. Add filling and cover with a second slice of
bread, butter side up.
3. Close and latch the Cooker, trim excess bread,
and toast until golden brown. Time per side
will vary depending on heat and ingredients.
Your Cast Iron Camp Cooker can be used for
many uses besides sandwiches. Eggs and meat
can be cooked in an open side of your cooker.
Sliced potatoes or mushrooms can be grilled.
INSTRUCTIONS

• Always pre-cook meats and other fillings
which require longer cooking periods.
• Use sliced or grated cheese rather than processed.
• Sandwiches will not stay crisp with runny fillings.
• Do not latch the handles when using batters or
other ingredients which rise while cooking.
• Puncture egg yokes or cherry tomatoes
before placing in the Cooker.
• Bread is basic; but try pie dough, filo pastry, pizza
dough or sliced English muffins.
• For desserts sprinkle the buttered side with sugar.
• In all cases use sufficient filling to insure an
evenly toasted sandwich.
