Deep Pie Maker
Before first use
We recommended that you condition the Non-Stick Pie Cavities for optimal
performance before first using your Judge Deep Pie Maker.
1.
Plug the Power Cord and Mains Plug into the mains power supply and switch on at
the mains, if necessary. The Red ‘Power’ Light will illuminate.
2.
Preheat the Judge Deep Pie Maker maker for 3-5 minutes until the Green ‘Baking’
Light illuminates.
3.
Open the Securing Latch and Lid . then very carefully (the surfaces will be hot)
apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the non-stick plates and rub in with kitchen
towel or similar.
This only needs to be done once to ensure pies release easily.
Using the Pie Maker
1.
Prepare your pie filling. You can use any sweet or savoury filling you like as long as you
follow these two simple rules before spooning into your pie base:
■
Your filling must be ready to eat (i.e. meat not raw, fruit and vegetables softened to
your taste).
■
Your filling must be cooled to room temperature before cooking in the pie maker.
■
See ‘Hints and tips’ for further advice.
2.
Now cut the pastry top and base for your pies using the Pie Pastry Cutter . Roll
pastry to 2-4mm depth and press both sides of the Pie Pastry Cutter into the pastry
to create 2 x bases and 2 x smaller lids.
3.
Place the first of the larger pastry circles into either of the lower Non-Stick Pie Cavities
. Overlap the pastry slits ensuring they join properly to avoid leaks. Repeat in the
opposite lower Non-Stick Pie Cavity .
4.
Spoon your pre-cooked filling into the left and right lower Non-Stick Pie Cavities . Do
not overfill the pies or add too much excess liquid (Gravies, sauces, custards) as this
could result in the pies overflowing.
5.
Carefully place the smaller pastry circles on top of the pies, close the Lid and
Securing Latch .
6.
Plug the Power Cord and Mains Plug into the mains power supply and switch on at
the mains, if necessary. The Red ‘Power’ Light will illuminate. Within 3-5 minutes
the Green ‘Baking’ Light will illuminate and the pies will start to cook.
7.
Cook the pies for approximately 10 minutes before checking, open the Securing Latch
and slowly and carefully raise the Lid . CAUTION: PROTECT YOUR HANDS.
Steam may escape/excess pie filling may overflow and can scald. If the pastry
requires further cooking close the Lid and Secure Latch and continue to cook for
a further 3-5 minutes.
8.
When the pies are cooked to your liking disconnect the pie maker from the mains
power supply.
CAUTION: NEVER USE HOT FILLING WHEN MAKING PIES. THIS COULD CAUSE
THE FILLING TO OVERHEAT, OVERFLOW AND IN EXTREME CASES EXPLODE.
