Pie iron
Appliance / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Toastie" redirects here. For the sandwich, see grilled cheese.
"Toasted sandwich" redirects here. Not to be confused with toast sandwich.
A pie iron—also called pudgy pie iron, sandwich toaster, snackwicher, toastie maker—is a cooking appliance that consists of two hinged concave, round or square, cast iron or aluminium plates on long handles. Its "clamshell" design resembles that of a waffle iron, but without that appliance's honeycomb pattern. Pie irons are used to heat, toast and seal the sandwich.
