There’s a whole world of forged iron and steel tools, and they aren’t just for roasting chestnuts, but also for cooking breads, popcorn, meat, eggs, marshmallows, and even waffles or Italian sandwiches over an open fire. Here are our 10 favorites to put your fireplace to work this winter.
Above: Permanent Collection carries Alice’s Egg Spoon, a version of chef Alice Waters’ hand-forged iron spoon for cooking the perfect egg over an open fire.
