Operating Your Breville Party Pie Creations

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 Party Pie Creations

NOTE

When using the Party Pie Creations 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 doesn not rise or brown properly. Pastry can be homemade or purchased ready-rolled 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 eight party pies. Any excess pastry rounds can be refrozen for future use.

NOTE

Prepare the pie fillings in advance.

NOTE

The Party Pie Creations is designed for making eight 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.

. Close the lid of the Party Pie Creations and switch on at the power outlet. The Power ‘ON’ red light will illuminate until the Party Pie Creations is switched off at the power outlet.

. 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.

. Cut 8 pastry bases and 8 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 1⁄3 cup 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. Custard tarts can be made but do not overfill and follow amount specified in the recipe.

8.If required, place the pastry tops over the filling, ensuring the edges are positioned evenly and aligned with the pastry base edges.

NOTE

When making muffins, cup cakes, quiches, tarts, etc. follow the recipe instructions in this book.

9.Close the lid, ensuring the locking latch clicks into position. The lid has to be securely closed to ensure (when baking quiches and tarts) that the edges of the pastry bases are crimped and when baking pies that pastry tops and bases are crimped together to seal in the filling.

NOTE

The lid must be closed when baking pies, quiches, tarts, muffins, cup cakes, etc. but check progress during baking so that desired shade of golden brown is reached.

10.Cooking times will vary depending on the recipe. For example, pies will require approximately 6-10 minutes, quiches and tarts approximately 10-12 minutes, muffins and cup cakes approximately 4-6 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.

1 . If more baking is required, close the lid and follow Steps 3-10.

1 . 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).
