Pie Iron Recipes
The great thing about pie iron cooking is that it's easy for
anyone to get involved which makes it all the more inclusive and fun
when cooking in a group or with your family. Although the learning
curve is slight for basic sandwiches and pies, the complexity can be
taken up a notch or two for those so inspired.
On the back of every pie iron, you'll find a bunch of recipes listed
as well as care instructions. We also have a Pie Iron Cookbook
available, which was written by Richard (the President). In the
latest printing we put in some of the winning recipes from our past
pie iron recipe contests. To find out more about our monthly contest
and to read some of the winning recipes, visit the USA pie iron site
