MEATS
Cooking meats in a cast iron cooker can't
be beat. Pork, beef and poultry are all
simple to cook and can be grilled on both
sides with the cooker closed. (Do not use
bread when cooking meats) Please be
careful of grease dripping from the cooker
when turning over. Remember, the grease
drippings may flare up in the fire. When
cooking vegetable, nut or grain based
burgers you may wish to place a small
amount of oil in the Pie Iron.
By unhinging the cooker you now have
two small skillets.
EGGS
Use cooker in an open position as two
skillets to fry eggs, french toast, or bacon
and egg scramble. Use closed for delicious
omelets. Add cheese, onion, green pepper,
and paprika. Another good combination is
spinach and feta cheese added to the eggs.
For Mediterranean style gratins, add julienne
sliced summer squash (or potato), onion and
garlic to beaten egg mix. Also, add eggs to
hash brown potatoes or corn beef hash. For
huevos, add queso blanco cheese, tabasco
sauce and some cilantro to egg mix.

CLEANING AND SEASONING BEFORE 1ST TIME USE
Before using the first time, your PIE IRON must be cleaned and seasoned. This simple process will eventually give the
cast iron a non-stick finish, help prevent rust and make your time cooking all the more enjoyable.
1) New cast iron cookware is coated at the factory with a thin layer of paraffin wax to prevent rusting. To remove the
coating, scour the cooker thoroughly with soap and hot water. Dry completely after cleaning and begin seasoning
immediately, since the cast iron will rust if left uncoated.
Alternatively, you may heat the casting over your charcoal grill or campfire to melt off the wax. Open the cooker and
heat with the inside facing down. Cool and wash with hot soapy water. Dry completely and begin your seasoning.
2) Season by coating the castings, inside and out, with a quality vegetable oil or solid shortening (do not use butter.)
Next, over a grill or campfire, heat at a moderate temperature for 15 minutes. Wipe out the inside with a paper
towel, recoat and heat again. After heating the second time, let the cast iron cool; recoat with oil one more time.
Your PIE IRON has now been pre-seasoned and is ready for use.
CONTINUING CARE TIPS
1) After each use, clean your PIE IRON with hot water and a soft brush or sponge. A mild soap may be used, however
many cast iron aficionados feel that this may remove the non-stick finish developed from the pre-seasoning and
repeated use. Expect cast iron to become darker with repeated usage; this shows that it is becoming well seasoned.
2) Dry completely with a towel after cleaning and apply a light coating of cooking oil to the castings to prevent rust
from developing during storage. You may want to place a paper towel between the castings to keep out moisture.
