Here it is astarra, it was posted by Chelsea.  I'm going to post it in the vegie section later.

Creamed Corn
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 cup or 250ml milk
2 cups corn kernels tinned, thawed or fresh
Salt and pepper

Melt butter for 1-2 minutes at 90^o on speed 2.
Add flour and stir in for 20 seconds on speed 3.
Set TMX cooking at 90^o on speed 3 and gradually add milk.
When mixture thickens (when the liquid noise finishes) add corn kernels and cook for 3 minutes on 100^o at speed 3.
Season with salt and pepper.
Puree for 10 seconds on speed 6.

Chelsea must have been tired when she typed it up Uni, have altered it

So, I have decided that I might need one of these... I had one years ago, but that was back before I knew how to cook, so it didn't really get used. My question is, how do they re-heat? I HATE soggy pies, so if I made these with leftovers, froze them and then re-heated them, how are they?

I've seen people mention that they freeze them, how do you reheat them? Oven, microwave or back in the pie maker?

I bought some individual pie tins a couple of weeks ago with the intention of being able to freeze the pie in the tin, and then re-heat the pie in the oven in it's tin. Apparently pies made in the oven need to be baked for 30 minutes, whereas these only take 8 minutes which is obviously more appealing, especially if I'm making the filling previously, an extra half an hour, on top of filling preparation and cooking, is a long time.

I'm trying to figure out the best option, especially in relation to meals when I forget to take something out for dinner... lol

jakodai you will need to deforst them 1st in the M/W if you forget to defrost them in the fridge i would still heat them up a little in the M/W, then back in the pie maker or oven, i use the oven only because i normally will have 6 to 8 pies to heat up at the same time. i know what you mean about soggy pies
yuk 

try a few ways until you find the best way for you

what type of pie tins did u buy aluminium,S/S or non stick

I hope this help

Thanks fundj. They're non-stick ones, but I'm not overly happy with the shape of them. They're round, but they're almost abnormally deep. There's only the 2 of us, so I'd probably reheat them in the pie maker - have you done this? How do they turn out?

[fundj&e]

yes i have many times  and turned out great .if you are like me and like your food nice and hot u will need to pop them in the M/W 1st them in the pie maker

Ok so after reading through all the comments here, I have decided that I just have to have one 

But the best news of all is that I checked my Visa Awards points and I can get a Sunbeam 4 pie maker for free, yipeeeeee

Made the apple pies and added some cinnamon quite good would like a bit more flavour though

Yvette, You need to add lemon juice to the apples to give them the necessary spike!

Never read this thread before as I thought it wouldn't interest me - oh how wrong I was! I can see that taking a couple of sick days off work will be expensive!

I've got a heap of leftover pulled pork, how do people think that would go in the pies?
