Uno Casa Extra Large Cast Iron Pie Iron – cook more than just pie over an open fire
Cast iron pie irons have been around for quite some time, so they are not inventing the wheel here. Traditionally, pie irons are about the size of a slice of bread, making it easy to sandwich sweet and savory fillings in between slices of bread for a quick and easy meal over the fire. However, the traditional size of pie irons limits what you can cook inside them. These extra-large pie irons from Uno Casa are the perfect accessory for dads who love to cook over the fire in the backyard or on camping trips because the large cooking surface allows for more cooking fun. On sale for $33 (Reg. $43), they won’t break the bank either. They are pre-seasoned, non-stick, high heat resistant, rust proof, and easy to clean. These pie irons can handle 2 classic sandwiches at the same time, large paninis, quesadillas, bacon and eggs, hot dogs and brats, and much more. The included recipe ebook provides even more ideas.
Cocktail Smoker Kits – Dad can sip a smoked old-fashioned while grilling dinner
Cocktail smokers are the perfect accessory for jazzing up cocktails and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Your dad can feel the joy of bartending while filling your house or porch with the most delicious aromas. Cocktail smoking kits can also be used for smoking cheeses, proteins, coffee beans and drinks, and desserts without having to invest in an expensive smoker.
There are two different styles on the market that are perfect for beginners and easy to gift. The chimney design is the most affordable option and makes it easy to smoke individual glasses one at a time. A smoke infuser with an injection hose allows you to smoke more than one drink at a time or whole plates of food. Both types are great for different reasons, and most of these kits come with a butane torch and smoker chips, so Dad will be all set up from the moment he opens the box.
