OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PERSONAL PIE™

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove any packaging material and

promotional labels. Wipe the Cooking Plates with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Wash the Pastry Cutter and Pastry Press in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Season the Cooking Plates (top and

bottom) with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper towel. After this initial seasoning, there is no need to season the Cooking Plates before each use as the pastry leaves them slightly seasoned.

• When using the Pie Maker for the

ﬁrst time you may notice a ﬁne smoke haze. This is caused by the protective substances on the heating elements. These are safe, not detrimental to the performance of the Pie Maker and will dissipate with use.

PASTRY CUTTER

The Pastry Cutter cuts the pastry tops and bases for your pies and is designed to perfectly ﬁt the Pie Molds. The smaller end of the cutter is for the pie top (see Fig. 1) and the larger end of the cutter is for the pie base (See Fig. 2).

Larger end faces pastry to cut the pie base

NOTE

Ready-rolled refrigerated or frozen pastry sheets should be brought to room temperature before using with the Pie Maker. Allow sufﬁcient time for thawing. One standard ready-rolled square sheet (9.5"/25cm) or ready-rolled round (9"/23cm) is sufﬁcient for two pies (2 pastry tops and 2 pastry bases).

PASTRY PRESS

The Pastry Press (See Fig. 3) assists in pressing down the pastry base into the Pie Mold.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PERSONAL PIE™

1. Insert the plug into a 110/120V power

outlet and close the lid. The red power ‘ON’ light will illuminate and remain illuminated until the power plug is removed from the power outlet.

2. Allow the Pie Maker to preheat with the

lid closed. When the green ‘Ready’ light illuminates, the Pie Maker is ready to use, approximately 4-5 minutes. The 'Ready' light will cycle on and off during operation to maintain the correct temperature.

NOTE

When baking the ﬁrst batch of pies, it is recommended to allow the Pie Maker to preheat for two cycles to achieve the optimum baking temperature. To preheat the Pie Maker for two cycles, allow the green ‘Ready’ light to illuminate then go out, then illuminate again. The Pie Maker is ready to use when the green ‘Ready’ light illuminates for the second time.

3. While the Pie Maker is preheating,

lightly ﬂour the work surface, roll out the thawed pastry sheet, then sprinkle generously with ﬂour. This will prevent the pastry from sticking to the Pastry Cutter and Pastry Press.

4. Position the Pastry Cutter over the ﬂat

sheet of pastry. Press down ﬁrmly. Do not twist as this will tear the pastry. Cut 4 pastry tops (using the smaller end) and 4 pastry bases (using the larger end). One standard ready-rolled square sheet or ready-rolled round is sufﬁcient for two pies (2 pastry tops and 2 pastry bases), so you will need 2 sheets. Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges.

TIP

The edge of the Pastry Cutter can be sharp when applying pressure. For more comfortable pastry cutting, nest the Pastry Press inside the Pastry Cutter and push down with the palm of your hand.

5. When the green 'Ready' light illuminates,

open the lid. Place one pastry base over the center of one Pie Mold. Using the Pastry Press, gently press downwards to mold the pastry into the Pie Mold. The edge of the pastry should overlap the Edge Crimper. Repeat with the remaining 3 pastry bases.

TIP

If the Pastry Press sticks to the pastry base, lightly ﬂour the pastry or Pastry Press.

BPI640XL_IB_A10_FA.indd 10 5/07/10 10:15 AM

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PERSONAL PIE™

6. Spoon cooled, pre-cooked ﬁlling into the

pastry base. It is recommended that a ⅓ cup of ﬁlling be used per Pie Mold unless speciﬁed in the recipe. Do not overﬁll the pastry bases.

NOTE

Do not use liquid ingredients such as sauces, gravies and custard on their own or in large amounts, as they will overﬂow and make the pastry soggy. Always combine with solid ingredients.

7. Place the pastry tops over the ﬁlling,

ensuring the edges of the pastry top are positioned evenly over the pastry base edge.

NOTE

Use caution when placing the pastry and ﬁllings into the Pie Molds as the appliance surfaces and Cooking Plates will be hot.

8. Close the lid, ensuring the Locking Latch

clicks into position. The lid must be closed at all times when baking. It is advised that the pies are checked regularly until desired shade of golden brown.

NOTE

During cooking you may notice a whistling sound. This is due to steam escaping from the pies.

9. Different pastries and ﬁllings require

varied cooking times. As a general guide, for thin pastries, such as puff pastry, allow pies to cook for 8-10 minutes or until desired shade of golden brown. For thicker pastries, such as ready-rolled pie crust, allow pies to cook for 10-12 minutes plus, or until desired shade of golden brown.

10. Remove the plug from the power outlet

before removing the pies with a plastic heat-proof spatula or silicone tip tongs.

NOTE

Do not use metal utensils as these may scratch the non-stick ﬁnish of the Cooking Plates.

NOTE

For a light and buttery taste, use puff pastry or butter puff pastry for the pastry top; and puff pastry or readyrolled pie crust for the pastry base. We do not recommend using readyrolled pie crust for your pastry top.

NOTE

Pastry sheets should be kept chilled then thawed when needed. For best results, frozen pastry should be used as soon as it is thawed. If left out for too long, soft pastry sheets are difﬁcult to handle and to cut clean shapes.

NOTE

The Pie Maker is designed for making four pies at a time. Uneven cooking may occur if less than four pies are made.

CARE AND CLEANING

BPI640XL_IB_A10_FA.indd 12 5/07/10 10:15 AM

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, remove the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the Pie Maker to cool slightly. The Pie Maker is easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean your Pie Maker after each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.

TO CLEAN THE COOKING PLATES

Wipe cooking plates with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

If baked-on food is difﬁcult to remove, brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for ﬁve minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.

If food residue builds up, spray with a little lemon juice and wipe clean. Do not use abrasives or metal scourers as they will scratch the non-stick surface of the Cooking Plates.

NOTE

Do not use metal utensils as these may scratch the non-stick ﬁnish of the Cooking Plates.

TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

STORAGE

Remove the plug from the power outlet before storing. Ensure the Pie Maker is completely cooled, clean and dry. Wrap the power cord around the cord storage. Store the appliance horizontally or vertically on the bench or in a convenient cupboard.

Only place the Pastry Cutter and Pastry Press ontop of the Pie Maker during storage.

NOTE

The Pastry Press nests inside the Pastry Cutter for convenient storage.

TO CLEAN THE PASTRY CUTTER AND PASTRY PRESS

Wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

NOTE

Do not place the Pie Maker, Pastry Cutter or Pastry Press in the dishwasher.

BPI640XL_IB_A10_FA.indd 14 5/07/10 10:15 AM

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

PASTRY

• A selection of ready-rolled pastry,

such as pie crust, puff or butter puff, is available in your supermarket freezer or specialty food store. These pastries give great results and are handy to keep in your freezer. Allow sufﬁcient time to defrost to room temperature before use. Phyllo pastry can be used for some pies. Use Phyllo pastry from the chilled refrigerator section of the supermarket. Frozen Phyllo pastry can be brittle and difﬁcult to shape.

• Pastry sheets should be kept chilled then

thawed when needed. For best results, frozen pastry should be used as soon as it is thawed. If left out for too long, soft pastry sheets are difﬁcult to handle and to cut clean shapes.

• For a light and buttery taste, use puff

pastry or butter puff pastry for the pastry top; and puff pastry or readyrolled pie crust for the pastry base. This combination is ideal for dessert pies. We do not recommend using ready-rolled pie crust for your pastry top.

• Some pies, such as tarts and quiches, can be

made with a pastry base only. Certain ﬁllings are not suitable for this - they can overﬂow out of the pastry base and onto the Cooking Plates - so follow the recipe instructions within this booklet or experiment with the consistency of the ﬁllings. Drier, ﬁrmer ﬁllings tend to work best.

• Unused pastry sheets can be refrozen.

Place into a large freezer bag and seal before placing back into the freezer.

USING LEFT-OVER PASTRY

• Make more pies, garnishes and

decorations with the left over pastry. Lightly knead the left-over pieces into a ball and roll out to approximately ⁄ inch (3mm) thick.

TIP

It is easier to roll pastry between 2 sheets of waxed baking paper. To make garnishes and decorations, cut the pastry into any shape, such as leaves, hearts, or stars. Place the shape on the pastry top before baking as usual.

NOTE

It is recommended that only ready-rolled pie crust pastry be re-rolled. Also, keep the pastry covered to prevent drying and cracking.

PRE-CUTTING PASTRY

• Pastry can be pre-cut and stored in the

freezer so that anyone can make pies at their convenience. After cutting up the pastry, separate each piece with a layer of plastic wrap. Cover completely with plastic wrap and return to the freezer.

BPI640XL_IB_A10_FA.indd 15 5/07/10 10:15 AM

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

BREAD

• The Pie Maker can also prepare

economical pies from bread. Most types of large-sized sandwich bread can be used: white, wholemeal, raisin loaf etc. It is not recommended to use thick slices as they will prevent the lid from closing properly. Heavy grained breads are also not recommended as they may scratch the Cooking Plates and are not sufﬁciently pliable for shaping into the Pie Molds. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads that are higher in sugar, remember that they may brown quickly.

• To cut 4 bread tops and 4 bread bases,

use 8 slices of large-sized sandwich bread. Position the Pastry Cutter over each slice and cut by pressing down into the bread. Do not twist. Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges.

• For best results we recommend to butter

the outside of the bread, that is, place the buttered side against the Cooking Plates. Place ﬁlling into the unbuttered side. If you are on a low fat diet or calorie counting, the outside of the bread may be left unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to prevent the bread from sticking and to make cleaning easier.

FILLINGS

• Fillings should be cooked and cooled

before adding to the pastry base. The cooking time for the pies is not sufﬁcient to cook raw meat ﬁllings or soften fresh fruit or vegetable ﬁllings.

• Any ingredients you have in your

kitchen, left-overs and canned food make quick and easy pie ﬁllings.

• Ensure all ingredients are cut into

small and even pieces to allow them to heat through.

• Pies with insufﬁcient ﬁlling will not form

a good shape and may not brown on top.

• Excess prepared ﬁllings may be stored in

an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

• Be careful when biting into hot pies and

especially hot pies containing ﬁllings such as cheese, tomato or jam as these retain heat and may burn your mouth if eaten too quickly.

NOTE

Do not use liquid ingredients such as sauces, gravies and custard on their own or in large amounts, as they will overﬂow and make the pastry soggy. Always combine with solid ingredients.

Spoon cooled, pre-cooked ﬁlling into the pastry base. As a general rule, use ⅓ cup of ﬁlling per pie. Do not overﬁll your pies.

REHEATING

• Keep pies hot after baking by placing

onto a rack inserted into an oven-proof dish. Place into an oven preheated to 225-250ºF (105-120ºC) for up to 20 minutes. Pies will begin to dry out if kept for longer in the oven.

• If pies are not being served immediately,

place onto a cooling rack or onto a paper napkin to absorb condensation.

• Left-over pies should be cooled and

kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a preheated hot oven 425-450ºF (220-230ºC) for 10 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat them in the preheated Pie Maker until heated through. Do not reheat pies in a microwave oven as the pastry will soften.
