thai curry chicken pies have been made, served with home made tomato sauce, some eaten, many left for lunches and dinners ๐คค๐ฅง

Do you heat the pie maker up first or put the bottoms in cold? Because I found it hard to put them in when it's hot because the pastry stretches.
Cold for the exact reason you stated. ๐ And that also means it has cool down between batches which is annoying.
Bang. Thanks for that. I thought there was something wrong with me.
Nothing wrong with you at all. The instruction booklet it came with is wrong. ๐คจ
The first time I made pies I went this is bullshit. Waited for it to cool down. Had no problems.
Hot, i use the stretch to finesse over tte crimp moulds and seal the little slot overlap
Nah. I value my fingers. I shape it into a cup then place it in the mould when it's cold. I must add though my pie maker has deep holes.
Depends on type - both ours are brevilles, but i hotplate the one-person pies while coldplating the family sized.
