Before first use
Remove and safely discard any packaging material and
promotional labels.
Wipe the cooking plates and outer housing with a soft
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Season the cooking plates (top and base) with a little
vegetable oil and remove any excess oil with absorbent
kitchen paper towel. After the initial seasoning, there is no
need to season the plates before each use as the pastry
leaves the plates slightly seasoned. Avoid using spray on
oils unless specified to do so in a recipe.
Using the Pie Maker
NOTE
When using the Pie Maker for the first time you
may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by
the heating of some of the components and will
dissipate with use. There is no need for concern.
NOTE
Pie bases can be made with shortcrust pastry,
butter puff pastry, puff pastry, filo pastry or bread.
Pie tops can be made with butter puff pastry, puff
pastry, filo pastry, or bread. Shortcrust pastry should
not be used for pie tops as it does not rise or brown
properly. Pastry can be homemade or purchased
ready-made from supermarkets.
NOTE
The pie cutter is designed to cut the pastry tops
and bases to perfectly fit the pie wells. The smaller
cutter is for the pie tops and the large cutter is for
the pie bases (refer to image below).
Operating Your Breville Pie Maker
NOTE
If using pre-purchased frozen pastry sheets, remove
from the freezer in sufficient time for the pastry to
thaw slightly for easy cutting. Pastry becomes
difficult to handle if completely thawed. Two
standard 25cm square pastry sheets are sufficient
for making four pies. Any excess pastry rounds can
be refrozen for future use.
NOTE
Prepare the pie fillings in advance.
NOTE
The Pie Maker is designed for making four pies at a
time. Uneven cooking or burning may occur if only
one or two pies are cooked at a time.
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet.
2. Close the lid of the Pie Maker and switch on at the
power outlet. The Power ‘ON’ red light will illuminate
until the Pie Maker is switched off at the power
outlet.
3. The Ready-to-bake green light illuminates when the
appliance has reached the correct temperature and
is ready to use
4. Lightly flour the top surface of each pastry sheet
for easy cutting and to prevent pastry bases from
sticking to the pie press.
5. Cut 4 pastry bases and 4 pastry tops (if required) by
positioning the pie cutter over partially thawed pastry
sheets and press down firmly to make a straight cut
into the pastry. Do not twist. Ensure the cut is smooth
around the edges.
