Salter EK4082 XL Double Pie Maker - Twin Deep-Fill Pie Machine, Non-Stick & Crimp-Edged Cooking Plates, 3-5 Minute Pre-Heat, Locking Latch, Fruit/Meat/Mince Pies, 9cm Diameter x 7cm Depth Pies, 900W

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.

Excellent buy

Really super compact little pie maker, and WOW! the pies cook to perfection after just 10 minutes. Easiest way to get the pies out is to gently tip them out. The unit seals the top to the pies perfectly. Really pleased with my purchase, saving a fortune on shop-bought pies.

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!

Not very successful, unfortunately. The pastry cutter they give you means there's far too much pastry in the "cup" of the pie, and the "lid" isn't big enough to meet all the edges around the top, meaning the pie comes apart when you try to get it out of the machine. There's no seal to join the top and bottom. Rectified by not using their cutter, which means it's more of a faff than it needs to be. Also, ignore the instructions telling you to heat up the unit first and then line it with pastry. That is nigh on impossible without burning yourself or partially cooking the pastry as you try to get it in the mould, meaning you're trying to line a very small, very hot object with pastry which is trying to cook before it's even in there properly let alone got any filling. Do it from cold and allow a longer cook time.
