And what about your bottom Kathryn, is it soggy

 

Made me chuckle as well

[Meagan]

Thank you everyone  my Narn has one and loves it. I was thinking it would be a good way to go as I always make either handmade pasties or individual pies with left over casserole.
How long do they take to cook?

[fundj&e]

Meagan, that’s a good question. less than 10mins more than 5mins lol

[Meagan]

Lol so faster than in the oven! What about using puff pastry on the bottom. Is that possible?

[fundj&e]

I rarely have both types of pastry  always have puff in the frezzer  most of the time only use puff. but i must say using both does give a better results.

I also have a pie maker which I must admit I haven't used for a while either, And funnily enough I was tidying my cupboards today and spotted the pie maker and though I must use this again.
I love curried scallop pies, Yum Yum.
No problem with shrinkage here either, I use puff pastry and they fill out beautifully. Mine is more of a enclosed sausage roll shape than round pies and also make 4 at a time.

Well ... the bottom of my pies are never soggy but as for MY bottom - oh you said soggy not saggy

Haha Kathryn glad everything went well yesterday, my DD 21 has been asking about getting a pie maker for a while now, glad this topic was started

I really like pie maker , makes 2, its easy and quick. I tend to use it heaps then sort of OD on pies put it away for a while then something like this reminds me and grab it out and pies pies pies we all love having a quick apple pie for dessert mmmmm. I also use tortillas instead of pastry some times for a after school snack instead of using the sandwich press, nice and fun for the kids .

Yum Curried scallop pies, oh how I miss tassie scallops. (with the roe on)

I have a  pie maker DS bought it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago, makes 2, its good for the 2 of us now, but it was a pain when cooking for 5, I only used it the other day to make chicken and mushroom pies. must post the recipe. No problem with soggy pie bottoms and its easy to clean.

  Glad you can still have a sense of humour Kathryn with all that is going on in your life. 

This thread is very timely, funny about that - every birthday something comes up on the forum that I can put on my birthday list instead of saying 'I don't need anything at the moment' and making it hard for the kids.  Looks like this is the go with all the good reviews here, thanks girls. I take it there is a recipe book that comes with the machine.
