Operating Your Breville Pie Maker
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).
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.

6. Place a pastry base (floured side up) into the centre
of each pie well and use the pie press to press and
mould into the shape of the pie well, ensuring the
edges of the pastry overlap the crimping area of the
pie well.
7. Spoon ½ cup of pre-prepared or pre-cooked and
cooled filling into the pastry base unless specified to
do otherwise in the recipe. Do not overfill the pastry
bases.
NOTE
Do not use liquid ingredients only (such as sauces
and gravies or in large proportion to solids) for the
pie fillings, as liquid will overflow and make the
pastry soggy. Always combine liquid ingredients
with solid ingredients.
8. Place the pastry tops over the filling, ensuring the
edges are positioned evenly and aligned with the
pastry base edges.
9. Close the lid, ensuring the locking latch clicks into
position. The lid has to be securely closed to ensure
when baking pies that pastry tops and bases are
crimped together to seal in the filling.
10. Cooking times will vary depending on the recipe. For
example, pies will require approximately 8 minutes.
NOTE
Do not use metal utensils to remove the cooked
items as these may scratch the non-stick surface of
the cooking plates.
11. Open the lid and remove the baked items using a
heat-proof plastic spatula or plastic tongs.
12. If more baking is required, close the lid and follow
Steps 3-10.
13. At the end of baking, switch off at the power outlet
and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Allow the appliance to cool slightly. The appliance
is easier to clean when slightly warm. (Refer to the
cleaning and storage instructions in this booklet).
NOTE
The lid must be closed when baking pies, but check
progress during baking so that desired shade of
golden brown is reached.
