Pennsylvania Sandwich Toaster

This Pennsylvania sandwich toaster, made of cast aluminum, has a cooking pocket that measures 4.5 inches square and measures twenty inches overall length. The handles are shorter than the Campers Pie Chef seen above and the cooking pocket looks slightly different.

Its name is nicely signed on one side and the manufacturer's name is on the other.

If you look on the Other page, you'll see the electric version from this same company -- they called it a Mountain Pie Iron. This non-electric version is quite old and beautiful.

Non-Electric Toaster from Boise

It is very sturdy and finely made. The top is criscrossed with heavy rods, and the bottom is fitted with a perforated screen to baffle the heat. Pretty neat and I've never seen one like it. Suitable for non-electric living, camping, or just an interesting object to collect. I wonder who bought it new. It has a nice signature embossed in the side.

Slow Toast

Non-electric Toaster with Wood Handle

Stamped from two pieces of perforated steel, this round toaster has three concentric raised rings on both sides, so the surface is not flat.

It measures 8.25 inches in diameter and just under 14 inches long with a rolled edge on the circumference.

After I got this one cleaned up, I used it while cooking a pot of red lentils. I had the gas turned as low as possible, but it was simmering a bit too vigorously. Putting this one on the burner under the pot did the trick.
