Looks great BB. 

[berringamababe]

Both yummo. But without the top is my preferred choice

[judydawn]

Thanks again babe, great ideas coming out of your pie maker

I just picked some spinich and collected 1 egg from my 3 chooks and made 1 open and 1 topped pie
I cut spinich added caramalised onion, crumbled some feta mixed the egg and some cream and this is my lunch.

Wow! These look great and may I add that I just love your table!

Yay! I have a pie maker. So excited. DH's statement when I walk through the door....I thought this Thermomix was going to save us money?!! LOL!

It does in the long term, not short term.

As you find you can make so many things quickly, you cook more and more..

Tell DH you can make him more things without the nasties in them..

I love my pie maker too.

Has anyone got the Sunbeam Traditional sized pie maker as in my link below?  I saw one today at an electrical store and it looked really good.  Makes normal sized pies which I like the idea of more so than the smaller ones. They also had a family sized one too but the individual ones would be more convenient these days.

Chookie has one Julie.

Thanks Mcmich, I've just read all 38 pages and saw that too.  Hopefully it was replaced for her, she hasn't posted back.
I think I'll get one, can't hurt.

julieO,  got a replacement and made 20 turkey and seafood pies.  I freeze them in individual plastic bags.  It is just so handy to thaw in microwave and reheat in pie maker.  I use Uni's Sour Cream  recipe for the base which can be rolled very thin, and bought puff for the top.

I have the snack size, but think the traditional one would be better, don't use it much.

You won't regret buying it Julie - great for using up small quantities of leftovers, quick apple pies, egg & bacon pies etc. Love mine, best thing ever - after the Thermomix of course 

[Decadent Dot]

I just made a big batch of meat pie filling then froze them in silicon muffin cups - they are a perfect size to fit into the pie maker for a quick meal.

What a good idea. I am off to fill my silicon cups with water to see if they match my pie maker. (remembering that the pastry will take up some of the pie maker room) I have several ideas for making pies ahead of Christmas and freezing them. It is sad that my suggestion of my egg and bacon pie which is a great favourite will probably not freeze well due to the whole egg content as frozen eggs go rubbery don't they?

[JulieO]

Thanks for the tips Chookie. 

I bought one today, really like the size, they are the same size as the pie tins I usually use. 

Thanks Judy, I'm looking forward to trying it out.
