Quest 35970 Double Deep Fill Pie Maker/Features Built-In Crimping Edge & Separate Pastry Cutter/Makes Pies 9cm Diameter/Non-Stick Plates / 700W

It is very hard to get a decent gluten free pie so couldnt wait to try this when it arrived yesterday ( a day earlier than expected ) Very easy to use although I did find it better to use the small side of the included cutter for both top and bottom as the large side left a ring of pastry around it This time I used ready roll pastry and was easily able to make 5 pies with one roll ( could probably made 6 with a bit of rerolling ) * mins and they were ready to eat and delicious Now my sister and two daughters are putting in orders for them and I cant wait to experiment with different pastries and fillings

Great product makes beautiful pies

It’s maybe something I’m doing wrong but my edges always spread over the mould, not really a problem as I can cut them off but I don’t get a neat edge. However easy to use left overs, ready made pastry and a quick snack in under 15 mins. Have some made up and frozen also as you get five from a roll of bought pastry. Will experiment more with fruit also. Great value, easy to clean and simple to use, some recipes would be nice but just use your imagination.

Makes small individual pies, not enough for one pie between two, but this is not an issue, as the pies are the ideal size for one each (approx 1.5 in deep). Heats quickly (although it's better to load it cold), and cooks pies evenly. A bit of messing around with pastry thickness is called for, but once I have that right, it will be great! Included pastry cutter seems to cut pastry too large. Other than that, a great little machine for the money.

When using this for the first time, I used the cutter as stated. The large side for the pie base and small side for the top. However, the base of the pie was too big and spread out so there was overlapping edges which I then trimmed off. Next time I used the small cutting edge for both top and bottom of pie. This worked perfect. The photo shows the pies in front are done with the small cutter and the back were the first ones that are trimmed.I adjusted the timings too. They only needed 4 minutes to cook perfectly. Also flaky pastry works better than short pastry.The first pies had an apple filling and the second were vegetable. There were enough to put in the freezer for another time.I love this pie maker. It is easy to use and clean after. It will get well used.

The pie's are rather small but nice and deep.

You bet! Side by side, a steak and gravy pie and a black cherry pie.Using supermarket shortcrust pastry for the base and puff pastry for the top, it was all perfectly cooked in just10 minutes.And easy cleaning - just a wipe with a sponge and paper towel was all that was needed.Brilliant pie maker. Thanks for this!

This was an eye opener. Never would i have thought if buying an item such as this, but after seeing an example in you tube, i decided, for the price, why not? An amazing machine. I plugged it into my watt meter, cut some tortilla circles with the provided cutter, filled them with left over veg, and within 10 to 12 minutes, the pies were piping hot done. Tested with a thermometer, all good, checked the power usage, o.o7kw. i think that's about 3 pence. Brilliant, highly, highly recommended.
