A pie iron—also called pudgy pie iron, sandwich toaster, snackwicher, jaffle iron, or toastie iron—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 a sandwich—typically called a toastie or a Breville—consisting of two slices of bread enclosing a filling.
