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.

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.

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.

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.
