before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

meals, desserts, supper or snacks.

Make perfect pies every time ...
it’s magic!

Before using your Sunbeam

®

Pie Magic

Before using your Sunbeam Pie Magic for
the first time, the non-stick plates must be
seasoned to protect the non-stick surface.

Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power ON. Preheat
the pie maker for 5 minutes. Season the
plates by applying a thin coat of cooking oil
onto the surface and rub in with paper towel.

Alternatively add oil to paper towel and rub
over the cooking plates.

After this initial seasoning, there is no need
to season the plates after each use as the
pastry leaves the plates slightly seasoned.

Note: When using your Sunbeam Pie Magic
for the first time, you may notice a fine
smoke haze being emitted. This is normal
and is due to the initial heating of the
internal components.

Pie Magic

What type of pastry can be used?

There is a wide selection of ready rolled
pastry available in your supermarket freezer,
such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and
wholemeal pastry. These pastries all give
great results and are handy to keep in your
freezer.

Due to the high fat content in pastry there
may be some oil seepage from the pies
during the cooking process. This does not
affect the quality of the pies.

Therefore we recommend using Light Puff Pastry
for the top combined with a Light Shortcrust
Pastry for the base.

For a more buttery taste use butter puff
pastry for your pastry top combined with
a shortcrust pastry for your base. This
combination is ideal for desserts. Homemade
pastry can also be used.

Preheat the Pie Magic for 5 minutes until
ready light is illuminated. Defrost your frozen,
ready rolled pastry while preparing your pies.

Note: The Warm Up and Ready lights are
thermostatically controlled and will cycle
during cooking to ensure that the correct
temperature is gained.

(b) BASE

Figure 1

Forming the pastry.

Gently place the pastry base in the preheated
pie maker. Be careful as the pie maker will
be hot. Quickly overlap the pastry slits to
ensure they join properly until a pastry base
is formed. See figure 2 and figure 3.

Figure 2

Cutting the pastry.

Use the special pie cutter provided to cut
the pastry tops and bases for your pies. The
small cutter is for the top and the large
cutter is for the base. See Figure 1.

To cut your pastry pieces, position the cutter
on a flat sheet of pastry and cut by pressing
down into the pastry. Ensure the cut is
smooth around the edges.

Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be
used as soon as it is just thawed.

Figure 3

Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic® continued

Adding the filling.

Any ingredients you have in your kitchen,
left-overs and canned food make tempting
pie fillings.

Pre-cook your pie fillings, particularly if using
fresh meat or vegetables. Ingredients such as
fruit and canned food can be used without
pre-cooking.

Ensure all ingredients are cut into small and
even pieces to allow them to heat through.

Note: Do not use liquid ingredients such as
sauces, gravies and custards on their own or
in large amounts as they will overflow and
make the pastry soggy. Always combine with
solid ingredients. Also do not use hot fillings
as the pastry base will become soggy.

Spoon your pre-cooked, cooled filling into
the pastry base. Use a level ½ metric cup
of filling for traditional size pies (PM4800)
and 2 level cups of filling for the family pie
(PM4600). Do not overfill.

For Traditional Pies (PM4800)

For Family Pies (PM4600)

2 cups

Do not overfill. Use 2 level cups of filling for
the Family Pie (PM4600).

Caution: Do not overfill your pie cases or have
excess liquid ingredients (sauces, gravies,
custards). This will result in overflow from the
pie maker. Pie filling is hot and can scald.

Cooking the pies.

Place the pastry tops over the filling and
close the lid. Cook the pies for approximately
12-15 minutes for traditional size pies and
15-18 minutes for the family pie. If you
prefer extra browning, we recommend you
cook for an extra 2-4 minutes.

Caution: During cooking, open the pie maker
slowly and carefully, as excess pie filling may
overflow and can scald.
