HAWOK Cast Iron Sandwich Grill - Handheld Pie Iron, Sandwich Maker,Panini and Sandwich Press set of 2……

In my country of origin(Cuba) we used to have smaller ones for indoor use with gas stove and would make awesome cheese sandwiches with the swirl, I had been looking for one similar that was also made with cast iron, this one mind you is for outdoor campfires but the built quality is fantastic and you get 2 for a great price, I modified mine to have smaller handles to be able to use them indoors and they are amazing, if I can have any advice for the manufacturer, make a smaller version, put a a few out to market to test and if they sell well there you go, I would imagine they would do really good specially in the Miami area where the largest concentration of my people live, also, the one thing I would redesign for indoor use, would be where the 2 sides connect by the cast iron piece, make it almost like a griddle type that does not separate, we had these way back in the 1980s and I have not found any like em again, but these are damn near close and I love them, would buy again in a heart beat and my family loves them, 5 stars all around.

Honestly there's not much to say it's pretty much exactly as pictured. I haven't used them but plan to use them soon. The cast iron part appears to be already seasoned. There is an interlocking edge to help seal the edge of your pie/sandwich that you're cooking. The hook to hold it shut is held in place on the handle with some crimping on either side of it so that it won't slide up while you're cooking. The handles even screw off to help with cleaning or if you need to re-season the cast iron. My only nit-pick is that on one of the irons the handles came partly unscrewed but all I had to do was just screw it back in. Tldr: seemingly high quality, would recommend. Will update if I have any issues when I use them soon.

Freakin awesome!!!!!!!

Super pleased to see and heft these babies out of the package when they arrived. They just needed a little tightening, either having been shipped a little loose for some purpose or not tightened for some reason. I am very pleased at how heavy they are and that they truly seem to be cast iron, just like the description said they would be. So many of these today are aluminum in construction, very light, and not at all as good of quality or usability as these. I like the clip where it is on the handle, and I like the deep, circular "pie" pockets, though my husband, well...about his pudgy pies he's fairly "square," and unable to see the joy for this shape. He doesn't have to eat them! I will!

If you already know what these are and how to use them, here's what you need to know about these specifically. The cast iron is well-made, but will need to be seasoned before use. The cast iron pie parts come unscrewed from the handles, so that makes seasoning the cast iron easier, although it would be even better if they came pre-seasoned, I think we can all agree. The handles have the little clips on them that hold the pie iron closed, and the two irons easily come unhinged from each other if you open the handles wide. These are good quality and a great price, considering you get two of them instead of just one for that price.

Very nice. Larger than expected. Just got back from using them camping, and they worked great. Made hot PB&J and some white bread pizza pockets. Works well!

This wasn't quite what I was expecting, I had a mental image of my mom's old cast iron sandwich maker which was essentially two halves shaped for a standard loaf of bread. If I had checked the images more carefully I would have noticed that these are totally round, and not really shaped for flat slices. With the right kind of bread this works fine, just add plenty of butter on the outside of the bread pieces to prevent sticking, and also make sure the two halves are perfectly aligned so you don't have cheese leaking out of the sides. If you get that right these will work just great for grilling sandwiches while on a camping trip. ...but who needs two of them?

This is a fun concept but honestly the are pretty heavy I know cast iron is heavy but really we have only used them to make grilled cheese which was kind of messy not sure what else to cook in it maybe if it came with a recipe book.

Well made, can't wait to give them a try.

Great quality and the long handles are a bonus.
