Amazing saves oven power, so, so quick. Make any pie you like, remember to oil lightly and preheat for a few minutes and just watch on removal of pies to take care of your fingers as very hot, remove pies under the crimped lip of pastry makes it easier to lift out. Deep pies, make it quicker by buying readymade pastry, and fillings, must use plastic ring cutter supplied, for perfect fit, do not over fill. A wonderful useful appliance you will not leave in a cupboard. Pies took me about ten to fifteen minutes, allowing for checking them.

Hi, I like this item 'cos it does what is says on the tin!! Very easy to use and clean. On the day it arrived, I had some 'Ready Made' pastry in the fridge, so I made a steak and kidney pie and a fruit pie (for dessert!) at the same time. You couldn't tell they were not 'bought' from the bakery. Delicious! Regards, Neil. p.s. I can't show photo's as I have eaten them both!

You decide how thick or thin your pastry is how much or what type of filling you use it comes out cooked and the ones I make taste great well done Giles and posner and thank you.

I have only used the pie-maker 3 times and it worked brilliantly. I have also made a batch of 4 chicken and wild mushroom pies and frozen them so hopefully they will turn out ok too. I didn't cook them for as long as the ones I ate at the time, I will probably put them in for another 10 minutes to warm them up. It says to pre-heat the pie-maker before putting in your pastry but reading some other reviews I went with cooking longer but doing it from cold - around 30 minutes. I did try putting the pastry in while it was hot on one batch but the pastry immediately shrank. I did initially wonder if this was a gimmick, as I could just use the oven, however it works well and is quick and easy to use. Cleaning is just kitchen paper with some vegetable oil. Cleans the non-stick surface a treat.Read full review

Love it ! Makes 2 deep pies with crisp brown pastry. I didn't preheat to make it easier to get the pastry in and it was fine. It does get very hot so watch your hands getting the pies out (i tipped it upside down to make it easier) Good non stick interior so easy to wipe out. I am sure it is a lot less energy use than turning the oven on
