- When cooking with a pie iron, begin by applying non-stick cooking spray or oil to the inside of both iron plates. This step is important so that your delicious meal doesn't stick to the iron and burn.
- Place your recipe ingredients into the iron before closing and latching it.
- Cook the recipe over an open fire. We recommend placing the iron over the fire for two minutes before unlatching, checking for doneness, and flipping the iron over to cook the other side.
- Use caution when handling both the metal latch and handles, as they can become hot while cooking.
