Product Information

But this unusual period of isolation to avoid a certain virus has resulted in many (many) late night online shopping sprees. Granted, I do most of my shopping online anyway, and almost always late at night after the kids have gone to bed. hi are you able to freeze the pies once made as only me and the wife,so to make up a batch of filling would be a waste unless i freeze the filling,think i answered my own question lol Reply Super crispy pies: These machines guarantee that your pies will not have a soggy bottom! Every pie I have made has had beautifully crispy pastry all over, more crisp than pies made the traditional way. As the pie machine is very hot, use a small glass or similar to gently push the pastry into the slot. Repeat with the remaining pie bottoms. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to find out the dimensions you need to cut for the pie bottoms and lids.

Prep everything in advance: Once the pie maker is hot, you should have all of your ingredients and components prepared, all ready to be assembled.But you could, of course, go the traditional route and use shortcrust pastry for the bottom and puff pastry for the lid. How to Use a Pie Maker Step 1 You can make pie maker pies with almost any filling you like. Some other fillings which would be delicious here include: For pie maker recipes, I like to use puff pastry for both the bottom and lid. I find it more practical and economical to use just one type of pastry when making mini pies. I’m not sure why your pie booklet says to never reheat pies? If the pies have been frozen and defrosted, they should not be re-frozen and reheated. But it is otherwise fine to reheat the filling, as well as reheat the pies (although freshly-made pies always taste better than reheated pies). Ideally, the pies should be frozen when they are uncooked, as you can bake pies straight from frozen. But as using a pie maker involves making and cooking them at the same time, you don’t really have the option of freezing the pies uncooked.

I recommend only cutting out as many as you need to fit the pie maker, and to cut any additional pastry whilst you are waiting for the pies to cook. Pastry works best when it is cold from the fridge – it is easier to handle, and there is less shrinkage with cold pastry.Hi,I am attempting to make steak and onion pies today and I am a bit confused. In your recipe it says to make the filling and leave to cool completely. In my pie booklet it says never reheat pies. Isn’t leaving my pie filling to go cold then adding it to the pie maker the same as reheating it. I’m confused lol,please can you advise me. Thankyou Reply Built-in crimping: crimping may seem like a purely aesthetic element of pies, which is true to an extent. However, a decent crimp around the edges of your pie will also keep it intact when serving, while also allowing for those golden-brown crusted edges. If you know in advance that you are going to freeze the pies, I recommend undercooking them somewhat, i.e. cook the pies until the pastry is only just lightly golden, but still holds its shape. That way, when you reheat them, you can also finish cooking them, which will help everything to stay more moist. I hope this helps! Reply Practical: If you regularly make sweet and/or savoury pies, you might find that your pie maker will be used more often than not. But anyone who makes pies regularly will know that it can be a time-consuming task. A good meat pie always has a crispy bottom, which is best achieved by blind-baking the pastry first, which means a good 15-30 minutes just for this step.

You might need to experiment with a batch or two to know what timing works best for your machine. Advantages of Using a Pie MakerSuper easy: To make a good meat pie with crispy pastry on the bottom, you usually have to blind bake the pastry, which can be a bit of a pfaff when it comes to mini pies. But a pie maker eliminates the need for blind-baking, which means the pies are much easier to make. The pie maker recipe below uses the same beef and Guinness filling as that for my Classic Meat Pies. It’s a classic and comforting beef stew which uses stout to give that familiar bakery flavour.
