Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface and lift the Cover to
open the Mini Pie Maker. Spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small
amount of cooking spray (photo A).
Use your Crust Cutter to shape your dough (photo B). Use any
pie crust recipe or a refrigerated pre-made pie crust. If using a
refrigerated crust, follow the package instructions for preparation,
and allow it to soften at room temperature as directed.
The side of the Crust Cutter labeled Pie Base is for cutting the base
of your pie. The side indicating Pie Top is for cutting the top circle of
your pie. The top circle will be smaller than the base (photo C).
Place the Pie Base side of the Crust Cutter on one section of your
rolled-out dough (photo D). Press down to cut the dough.

Place the Pie Top side of the Crust Cutter on another section of your
rolled-out dough (photo E). Press down to cut the dough.
NOTE: If you ever misplace your Crust Cutter, the bottom diameter
is 4.75” and the top diameter is 4.1”.
The Pie Base side of your Crust Cutter will cut out short sections in
the edge of your dough. These show where you will overlap the
edge of your crust in the lower Cooking Surface. Overlapping or
“scalloping” the edge in the lower Cooking Surface will help you
mold the base of your pie.
Place the larger circle of dough in the lower Cooking Surface of
your Mini Pie Maker (photo F).
Warning: Move quickly and be careful when placing the pie crust
onto the pre-heated Cooking Surface, as the surface will be hot.
“Scallop” or overlap the cut sections so that the pie base ts neatly
in the lower Cooking Surface. Press down gently on the edges
of the crust so that they lay against the top of the lower Cooking
Surface (photo G).
Add your desired llings (photo H).
NOTE: The approximate amount of lling necessary is 1
/
3cup, which
will rise above the edge of the Pie Maker to help the pie achieve
a rounded top shape. For denser llings, or meats and llings that
tend to expand during the cooking process, use less than 1
/
3cup to
avoid spillage.

Place the top circle of dough for your pie to enclose the
lling (photo I).
Close the Cover and press rmly to close the pie (photo J).
TIP: Using a brush to add some egg wash around the edges of your
pie before you close the Cover will help the crust remain tight and
crisp up while cooking.
NOTE: During the cooking process, the heating element will
automatically turn on and off to regulate the temperature and
ensure that the Cooking Surface does not get too hot or cold. When
this occurs, the Indicator Light turns on and off (photo K).
Actual cooking time will vary depending on ingredients and type of
pie being prepared. As a general guideline, most recipes require on
average 3-5 minutes of cooking time per batch. It is okay to open
the Cover to check for doneness.
In order to check if your pie is nished cooking, carefully lift the
Cover of the Mini Pie Maker using oven mitts or a pot holder. Always
lift using the Cover Handle. Check and see if the crust is dry and
lightly brown (photo L). If so, your pie is done. If not, carefully close
the Cover and allow your pie to cook, checking on it occasionally to
avoid burning.

Once the pie is cooked, rst unplug your Mini Pie Maker. Allow the
appliance and your pie to cool for a few minutes, as the pie and
Mini Pie Maker will be very hot.
Carefully remove your pie with a heat-resistant nylon or silicone
cooking utensil. It is easier to remove the pie with 2 heat-resistant
nylon or silicone cooking utensils.
The actual size of your nished pie will be around 4 inches in
diameter and about 2 inches deep.
NOTE: Do not use metal utensils to remove or place food on
the Cooking Surface as this will damage the non-stick surface. If
making more than one pie per use, allow the Mini Pie Maker to cool
for at least 5 minutes before making another pie. Use caution as the
plates will still be warm.
We recommend using a wooden, nylon, or silicone tool to press the
bottom dough into the maker if it is still warm.

cleaning &maintenance
Before cleaning, unplug from outlet and allow to cool.
Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the Mini Pie Maker with a damp cloth
or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE MINI PIE MAKER
OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
To remove llings or crust baked onto the Cooking Surfaces, pour a small
amount of cooking oil onto the hardened food. After 5 minutes, wipe with a
paper towel or dry cloth. A clean kitchen brush or even a toothbrush works well
to remove stubborn foods.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS TO CLEAN THE MINI
PIE MAKER, AS THOSE MAY DAMAGE THE SURFACES.
To store, be sure all parts are clean and dry. Store appliance in its box or in a
clean, dry place.
Never store it while it is hot or wet. Never wrap cord tightly around the
appliance; keep it loosely coiled.

tips &tricks
• Bring your pie crust up to room temperature before cooking, so that both
the crust and lling cook evenly.
• Add lling up to the top edge of the Mini Pie Maker before placing the top
crust on your pie. As it cooks, the lling will push the top crust against the
upper Cooking Surface for an even nish.
• Use any pie crust recipe or a refrigerated pre-made pie crust. Roll the crust
out until it is thinner than a full size pie crust. If using a refrigerated crust,
follow the package instructions for preparation, and allow it to soften at
room temperature as directed.
• Do not stretch the dough before baking. Stretching will cause the dough to
shrink and become misshapen during baking.
• Always pre-heat the Mini Pie Maker before adding pie crust, or the crust will
not cook evenly. Be careful when adding pie crust as the Cooking Surface
will be hot.
•
Pies are very hot when you take them out of the pie maker. Use caution and
allow to cool before serving or enjoying them.
• Place the crust circle directly in the center of your Mini Pie Maker’s lower
Cooking Surface. Once lled, place the top crust directly over the top of the
lled pie, centering it carefully and using caution not to touch hot surfaces.
• If you are baking just the base of your pie, place the larger lower crust circle
in the lower Cooking Surface of your Mini Pie Maker. Prick the crust evenly
all over, then bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from Mini
Pie Maker and ll. Baked crusts work well for recipes such as Key Lime Pie.
• Use packaged, thawed puff pastry as another crust option. Using puff
pastry allows the upper crust to rise more and make contact with the upper
Cooking Surface for an even, golden brown nish. THIS REQUIRES A LITTLE

½ cup fresh lemon juice
cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room
temperature
tsp salt
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
4 tbsp (½ stick) unsalted
butter
1 sheet premade pie crust
or puff pastry dough (if
using homemade dough,
roll out thinly)
Fresh raspberries
Ingredients: (Makes 4 pies)
Raspberry Lemon
Tarts
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, whisk the lemon juice, sugar, eggs and salt. Cook over
medium heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Add the zest, butter, and continue to
cook, whisking constantly, until the lemon curd coats a spoon thickly, about 9 minutes.
Immediately transfer the lemon curd to a bowl, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Press plastic wrap onto the surface of the lemon curd and refrigerate until it is cold. It
will thicken further as it cools. Lemon curd keeps in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Plug in and pre-heat your Mini Pie Maker. Cut 4 circles for the tart shell, using the Pie
Base side of the Crust Cutter. Set a circle of cut dough into the lower Cooking Surface
and gently overlap the edges so that the crust ts neatly in the Mini Pie Maker. With a
fork, prick the crust bottom all over.
Close the Pie Maker and bake until the crust is golden brown on the outside and dry
looking inside, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Repeat with the other
crust bottoms, making 4 tart shells.
Fill each tart shell with ¼ cup of the lemon curd. Arrange fresh raspberries to cover
the lemon curd. Serve immediately.
