    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. 👍 And that also means it has cool down between batches which is annoying.

          Nothing wrong with you at all. The instruction booklet it came with is wrong. 🤨

            The first time I made pies I went this is bullshit. Waited for it to cool down. Had no problems.

        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.
