Electric pie makers and recipe ideas ;)

Thanx again, DD- can you freeze them?? They sure look delicious, I'm sure my girls would love them as well - and we get 2 dozen eggs each week from BIL, so we have plenty of them!!!!

I have a regular pie maker and a mini pie piemaker. I didn't realise you could get a mini pie maker until I read something Halex had posted. I love them both.

[Halex]

Yes I have both & love them both.
I am going to give the bacon & egg pie a go, ds would love it.

Yes you can freeze them.

I made a heap on the weekend, wrap in alfoil, and freeze.
Then take to work for lunches.

So you can freeze cooked egg   It doesn't go rubbery Robyn?

Just bought some filo pastry. Has anyone used  it in the pie maker?

I haven't tried it personally Hally, but I've heard it works just as good as puff pastry

[snappy]

Give it a try H because i would love to know how it goes too.

I make them and freeze Judy, then heat up at work in a little oven.

all good.

Thanks Robyn, none of my batch of 8 made it to the freezer, they were just as nice cold as hot I found.

I use filo pastry in the pie maker with great success.  Have only made quiches  - just cut out the base and no lid.  Certainly cuts down on the fat content.  I usually just give filo a light spray with olive oil rather that slather it with butter.  (DH has had bypass surgery and diabetes so need to be conscious of these things.)

[Halex]

Thanks Deniser, woud you use one sheet for each  pie?

Hi Halex

I have a Breville 2 pie maker. I use three sheets of filo - lightly sprayed with oil - sometime just around the outside edges. Then fold one short edge to other short edge  (which in effect would give 6 sheets of pastry)  My pie maker comes with a cutter and this makes two bases.  Hope this makes sense.

I have a 4 pie maker & a mini pie maker which  makes 8. Assuming your 2 is the same size pies as my4 pie maker.

used the mini pie maker & made 3 pies today.

i have a photo of 2, the 3rd I dropped getting out.

I found them very fiddly & ended up trimming some of the excess pastry.
 pie 1, quiche with filo trimmed, filo cut to a square
pie 2 morocan lamb pie, same as above
pie 3 quiche, used circular cutter for base. this pie I dropped, it didd not have high sides like the other 2.

they all worked but not quick & simple.
