Pie cooker? Nonsense. It's a grilled cheese heaven's gateway.
"Pie cooker" is indisputably the worst name they could have selected for this cooker. Who the hell brings pie filling camping? Crazy people do. A better name is "Evidence for God sandwich cooker," because anything can be turned into a sandwich, and just about everything goes into a sandwich while camping. This cooker makes the hands-down BEST -- no exaggeration, over-sell or meaningless hyperbole -- grilled cheese on the planet. You literally won't find better grilled cheese technology. About 10 years ago a friend introduced me to the legendary pie cooker. I spent the whole day post-camping trip driving around my and the neighboring towns trying to find one for my camp sack. At the time, Amazon didn't sell them. And every time I've gone camping since, I've checked Amazon to no avail. Finally, a week before camping in Sequoia National Park a week ago, this hot puppy popped up on an apathetic search, and so became the first time I employed overnight shipping. I insisted my camp buddies turn around, drive an hour back to my house and pick up the just-delivered cooker. Nobody regretted this decision the night I dug out the sharp chipotle cheddar, Monterey jack and multi-grain bread. Silence swelled over the campfire and the stars rejoiced. We applied ample butter. The fact this cooker costs only $20 indicates that there is a God. Or, rather, some Godly force in effect. Possibly karma. And anyone with an internet connection and a credit card may shave off his slice of karma, just before slathering it between two slices of buttered toast and shoving it into a campfire. One recommendation: the dude packaging these in the enormous box for which it's delivered severely dropped the ball. This cooker would be unquestionably more awesome if it were bundled with some recipe ideas, even if they were print-outs or something. So far, I've embarked on pie-cooked grilled cheese, smores, several kinds of omelets/quiches and a variety of burger-infused sandwiches. I still haven't made a pie from this, but I'm not opposed to the idea. Although, I'll be dumbfounded the day I unbundle my mess kit and take to the cooler for pie filling instead of marshmallows, Special Dark and graham cracker.
