6. Spoon cooled, pre-cooked filling into the
pastry base. It is recommended that a ⅓
cup of filling be used per Pie Mold unless
specified in the recipe. Do not overfill the
pastry bases.
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.
7. Place the pastry tops over the filling,
ensuring the edges of the pastry top
are positioned evenly over the pastry
base edge.
NOTE
Use caution when placing the pastry
and fillings into the Pie Molds as the
appliance surfaces and Cooking Plates
will be hot.
8. Close the lid, ensuring the Locking Latch
clicks into position. The lid must be closed
at all times when baking. It is advised
that the pies are checked regularly until
desired shade of golden brown.
NOTE
During cooking you may notice a
whistling sound. This is due to steam
escaping from the pies.
NOTE
The Pie Maker is designed for making
four pies at a time. Uneven cooking may
occur if less than four pies are made.

9. Different pastries and fillings require
varied cooking times. As a general guide,
for thin pastries, such as puff pastry, allow
pies to cook for 8-10 minutes or until
desired shade of golden brown. For thicker
pastries, such as ready-rolled pie crust,
allow pies to cook for 10-12 minutes plus,
or until desired shade of golden brown.
10. Remove the plug from the power outlet
before removing the pies with a plastic
heat-proof spatula or silicone tip tongs.
NOTE
Do not use metal utensils as these
may scratch the non-stick finish of the
Cooking Plates.
NOTE
For a light and buttery taste, use puff
pastry or butter puff pastry for the
pastry top; and puff pastry or ready-
rolled pie crust for the pastry base.
We do not recommend using ready-
rolled pie crust for your pastry top.
NOTE
Pastry sheets should be kept chilled
then thawed when needed. For best
results, frozen pastry should be used as
soon as it is thawed. If left out for too
long, soft pastry sheets are difficult to
handle and to cut clean shapes.
