Using Bread; Defrosting And Reheating Pies - Sunbeam Pie Magic PM040 Instruction/Recipe Booklet

Other ideas for your pie maker.
Sunbeam Pie Magic Four is also ideal for making
muffins, cup cakes, quiches, cheesecakes and egg
& bacon snacks. See the recipe section of this
book for more ideas.
Note: When using a non-pastry base in your pie
maker it will be necessary to season the plates
with a little oil, butter or margarine each time to
prevent sticking.

Using bread.

Bread can be used as a substitute for pastry. The
best results are achieved using sandwich bread.
Avoid using toast style bread as it is too thick.

Defrosting and reheating pies.

Defrosting.
Room temperature: pies will defrost in
approximately 1 hour.
Microwave oven (700w): defrost each pie for
approximately 5 minutes on defrost setting.
Reheating.
Pie maker: Pre-heat the pie maker for 5 minutes
(or until the light goes off).
Thawed pies - heat for approximately
6-8 minutes.
Do not heat frozen pies in the pie maker.
Cut the pie tops and bases using the cutters and
trim the crusts.
Spread one side of the bread with butter or
margarine. Make the pies as previously
instructed, with the buttered side of the bread
on the outside to prevent sticking. Cook for 6
minutes.
Hint: Avoid using liquid fillings as they tend to
make the bread soggy.
Oven: Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
Frozen pies - heat for 40-45 minutes.
Thawed pies - heat for 15-20 minutes.
Microwave oven (700w): Cook on high
for approximately 2 minutes per pie after
defrosting.
Note: The pastry will be soft and moist.
