Sandwich Grill XL, Handheld Panini Press & Sandwich Maker, Cast Aluminum Pie Iron, Portable Hot Pocket & Dessert Cooker, Ideal for Camping, RV, Stovetop, Grill, Campfire, Outdoor Cooking

I am old enough to remember the original one that we used in 1946 . This is exactly the same and it works perfectly.. It is aluminum, just like the original. But you treat it like you would treat your grandmas old iron skillet. That means washing with modern detergents or in a dishwasher are the worst things you could do. That kind of treatment will actually make it stick. When in doubt, read the directions. Use old fashioned white bread and don’t overfill and it works just fine. If used correctly, it gets hot enough to be sterilized so washing should not ever be necessary. If you plan to use it over an open fire, get the long handled version. For use on a gas range, bbq, or camp stove, the original version with short handles is best. Use on electric ranges of various types have mixed results.. This works just fine if the cook is just a little bit smarter than a box full of rocks.

We love this item for out gas stove in our RV. We have an electric stove at home, so I keep this for our RV. We can use it over the campfire or the gas range. We love putting bread and scrambled eggs in this. Also bananas, chocolate as well. There is no end to it. If you go to the website for the product you can see lots of recipe ideas. And if you have kids, my teen daughter loves these, and looks forward to it every time we camp. Get the long size if you want to use in the campfire. On the gas stove inside the rv the shorter ones are better. I got the long one and use it inside too, but it's a little tougher because it is pretty long. Cooking spray helps with clean up afterwards.

So far it is good. Has the rememberable saucer shape that was hard to find, among all the square ones made today. The only problem is that the handles and latch are terrible. The latch is on the handles instead of the pole/arm and it keeps popping off. The handles themselves keep sliding and turning. It is really annoying but workable. I much prefer the wooden handles over these plastic ones.

Growing up many many years ago my mom had one of these. Used to make sandwiches all the time. This one works just like I remember and am stuffed as have been making sandwiches non stop. Read the reviews on aluminum vs the old cast iron ones. This one is heavy aluminum, feels solid and is well made. The only problem is that they don't make bread as big as they used to. Had to rollout some bread to make it big enough to overlap the edges. Used some sandwich raps too but those did not get as crispy as bread. Glad i made the purchase....

Lightweight, just like the ones I used when I was a kid

Makes the most amazing sandwiches, different than a panini press, this seals the sides so that you end up with a pocket type item. Perfect for both sweet and savory. This is just like the one I had when I was a kid growing up, really well made and easy to clean. Choose short handled for everyday use on a cooktop, Long handled if you want to use for camping

It's fun. It makes little sandwich pockets. But it's kind of a pain to use. You gotta grease the inside of it very well or your sandwiches will stick and fall apart. You gotta make sure it seals the bread super well or stuff will leak out, stick to it and your sandwich will fall apart. It's neat that it makes little pockets and all but I'd honestly buy one of the bigger ones that you can just fit an entire sandwich in

Epic hawaiian flying saucer maker definitely a happy customer and make my friends jealous with it post pics on Instagram 😂

Handles are short as others have noted; we bought the longer ones and they are still shorter than other sandwich grills we have had in the past. We have used them six times already and love them.

Great product

Item reached before the date they have mentioned. Amazing quality but bit costly,

These are just like the ones I remember as a kid. They are the best pie irons out there.

Was a hit around the campfire!! Made pizza pockets and Nutella marshmallow pockets was amazing! Even though they were the extra long handles I wish they were a bit longer that's all
