Thread: Jaffle irons

If you want a real special toastie and have the luxury of a freezer when camping buy some of that frozen sheet pastry
Make sure the jaffle iron is well oiled.

We have 2 round ones that came on the ark with Noah
The round ones are best. You get to eat the little bits of excess bread you cut off during assembly while you wait for the jaffle to cook

No, no, no, you leave the bread to be toasted.

Vegemite on both innards and a beaten egg or two. Round ones toast crumpets well if you make sure the tops hot.

Short crust or puff?

Either, but short crust is easier to handle in a camp cooks situation. Don't tell my GP but I like to make them with plenty of very thin slices of Schulte or Heinz or Stoysich Mettwurst(I like the garlic and the chili versions),thin sliced onions, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, tomato and capsicum.

I have made short crust pies like this in the camp oven.

As Brian says BOTH
The puff pastry with diced apple and that UHT custard make a yummy desert

The "Jaffle" branded irons were originally round.

I have to confess that I am a bit of a jaffle iron collector. I have about 50 different irons, mainly from Australia, but some form the UK and the USA.

Unfortunately one of the Jaffle irons that I have had in the family for over 40 years broke when I dropped it the other day. It was the round Toastie-Toaster, and for my money one of the better ones built.

Then there are the die hard fans of square jaffle irons, so many of the companies made them too..

Waddabout the double ones and the TRIPLE ones..




here are a few pics of some of my collection: here are a few pics of some of my collection:

I'd never heard of a "jaffle" before, so I Googled it. I see it on some US retail sites such as Amazon.com. I'm familiar with them, but never used one. Never knew what we called them here either! This is apparently what they called a "pie iron." They come in round or square.

So is this what a jaffle looks like?




Got any tips on how they're used? This sounds like another cool thing to get the Scout Troop turned on to!

Pie Iron, Jaffle Iron, Pudgy Pie Maker, Toastie Toaster, Toasties.... All the same sort of thing.

I recently took the jaffle iron collection to BP Park here in Brisbane to a scout troop camp and introduced them to the humble Jaffles.. Boy are they converted. I ended up leaving 3 irons with them to cook with and the queue for use was always quite deep.

The kids were extremely inventive and put almost anything in the jaffles. Though, I have to say I drew the line at "Chocolate, Baked beans and Vegemite" combination.

I see the image posted for the Pie Iron (Jaffle version) and the only difference in that company's pie v jaffle iron is shorter handles.

If there is anything I can do to help you switch kids on to pie/jaffle iron cooking, let me know
