Richard and Frances Faloon grew up camping. In fact, Richard says he still remembers his first camping trip…when he was six months old!

In 1962, the Faloon’s saw a need for a quality campfire cooker. The pie irons of the day were poorly constructed and provided uneven heating. So they designed a new one from scratch and cast a few at a local foundry.

Friends and family all wanted the Faloon Cooker for its heavy durability and performance. “We knew right away we had a good product,” says Richard.

The Faloon Cooker became the Minute Pie Mold. And now, forty years later, the design is the same!

Outdoor enthusiasts still enjoy the Original Minute Pie Mold today–in all fifty states and around the world.
