Quick and easy to use. Just the right size for a home made pie. Easy to clean and stores nicely. The design is simple but stylish and the food cooked comes out at the right temperature and tastes great. I use a lot of slater products and think it’s well worth the money

The media could not be loaded. Wow!! Great pie machineSo easy to use, the pastry cutter is excellentPies in 10 minutes, beautiful crisp pastry and heated the filling all the way through ( tested with a food thermometer)

This is a lovely little gadget. Easy to use and clean. The pies are cooked perfectly. The only downside for me is getting the pie out. I just tip them out. (One of my son’s has a different make and has the same problem. Plus, his was far more expensive than this one) so that’s the reason for 4star instead of 5.

Good nonstick so easy to clean. The cutter is a little small, so after cutting I rolled it a little more to increase by 1 inch diameter. Then perfect. The clooki g is quick and good, put plenty of filling in to help the top crust be close to top plate. I had no problem removing pies, but did spray before inserting pastry.

Arrived promptly, This is well worth the money and makes lovely pies. I have used ready rolled shop bought pastry to try it and have had good results with chicken and leek, steak and onion, meat and potato pies and using sweet pastry apple pies. It is important to grease/oil the pie cups to give the pies a good colour when cooked. All pie fillings must be pre-cooked as the cooking time for the pies is 10mins. so raw meat will not cook through in that time. To remove the cooked pie without them breaking I used the tip up one side and pop out raised one whilst stopping the lower one from coming out ,then reverse the process. I have not had any pies break and would recommend the pie maker.

My family just love to go to football matches and in the colder months love to take with them a comforting pie and using this simple to use gadget and handy pastry template, which makes two conveniently sized and filling pies.I can be happy knowing that my family can still have a pie on match day, I know exactly what’s gone into them using left-overs, saving me time and money.I even have batch pie making days and put them in the freezer, ready for the next footie season.Please note that this gadget is not designed for cooking raw meats but if you have pre-made a stew or casserole, even left over curry or chilli, use this to make your pies. I also agree wholeheartedly with one reviewer who said to ignore the instructions of pre-heating it prior to inserting your pastry, you’ll burn yourself easily and makes inserting the pastry into the mould difficult as the pastry starts to melt. Start each batch from cold, you’ll still have a beautifully cooked pie in 10 minutes!

This pie maker is amazing!I have used it many times and I’m delighted with the results every time.The only thing that is tricky, is positioning the pastry base without either tearing the pastry or burning yourself! I have solved the problem though! I don’t pre heat it- I just assemble the pies whilst the machine is cold and then turn it on. It’s so much easier that way, just give them an extra 5 minutes cooking time and they turn out just as good!I also cut a slit or make a small hole in the lid to help the pastry cook and let the steam out. Make sure you trim any excess pastry from the edges as this can sometimes catch if you leave it on. (this happened to mine on my first attempt)I bought another 2 for Christmas presents and both family’s were delighted.I would highly recommend this product, it produces perfect pies in just 10 minutes.Remember to roll your pastry quite thin - otherwise it will be raw on the inside if it’s too thick. Treat yourself to one of these, you won’t be disappointed.

Problem to note is you need to heat before adding pastry which makes it fiddly trying not to burn yourself, but cooks pies ok..personally I find it easier the traditional way
