Place the pastry base in the preheated pie
maker and carefully press into the base.
See Figure 4.
Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.
Adding the filling.
Any ingredients you have in your kitchen,
left-overs and canned food make tempting
pie fillings.
Pre-cook your pie fillings, particularly if
using fresh meat or vegetable ingredients.
Ingredients such as fruit and canned food
can be used without pre-cooking.
Ensure all ingredients are cut into small and
even pieces to allow them to heat through.
Note: Do not use liquid ingredients such as
sauces, gravies and custard on their own or
in large amounts, as they will overflow and
make the pastry soggy. Always combine with
solid ingredients. Also do not use hot fillings
as the pastry base will become soggy.
Spoon your pre-cooked filling into the pastry
base. Use a level ¹/
³
metric cup of filling,
per pie. Do not overfill your pies.
Do not overfill. Use a level ¹/
³
metric cup.
Caution: Do not overfill your pie cases or have
excess liquid ingredients (sauces, gravies,
custards). This will result in overflow from the
pie maker. Pie filling is hot and can scald.
Cooking the pies.
Place the pastry tops over the filling and
close the lid. Cook the pies for approximately
5-6 minutes. If you prefer extra browning, we
recommend you cook for 8 minutes.
Caution: During cooking, open the pie maker
slowly and carefully, as excess pie filling may
overflow and can scald.
Tip: Fruit or vegetable fillings won’t take
as long to heat and cook through as meat
fillings.
Note: During cooking you may notice a
whistling sound. This is due to steam
escaping from the pies.
Remove your pies using a plastic utensil.
DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS AS THESE WILL
SCRATCH THE NON-STICK SURFACE. Wipe the
plates clean after making each pie.
