Breville Antony Worrall Thompson VTP099 Gourmet Pie Maker

Secure lock and easy to open handles

Pies are so versatile. There are so many ways to customise how you like your pie. As a savoury dish, pies are most famous for hearty, robust fillings such as steak and kidney, chicken and mushroom and beef and ale. Fish is a popular choice and when given a sweet spin, the list continues with apple, cherry, blueberry and more. Sugary indulgences like chocolate can also be introduced and then there's the pastry used. You can use a wide range of pastries or even pizza dough as a unique alternative proving that with pies, the options are endless.

Delicious Pies for Every Occasion

And pie-making has just been easier thanks to the Gourmet Pie Maker. Forget time spent waiting for your oven to pre-heat, all the fuss and bother of getting multiple pies in and out of the oven and then the long wait as they bake. Step away from the oven as the Gourmet Pie Maker helps you cook delicious pies in less than 10 minutes with just one piece of equipment that is easy to clean and easy to store.

Inspired by celebrated celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson, the Gourmet Pie Maker cooks four individual pies at a time each with a separate recess enabling you to make four pies with four different fillings all at once. This is great for feeding a family with different tastes or for serving at buffets and parties. The size of each pie means they can be used individually for starters or served with accompaniments for a complete meal.

And you can choose how simple or complicated you want your pie-making to be. Keep it simple by using store bought pastry and a few basic ingredients or alternatively spend time making mouth- watering fillings and pastries from scratch. It is also a great way of using any leftover food, heating up even chilled fillings taken directly from the fridge, making it both economical and convenient--a truly adaptable kitchen appliance.

Ready in Just 10 Minutes

The unit consists of two non-stick plates with four recesses in the lower one specially designed to produce attractive, perfectly-formed pies. Simply plug in the Gourmet Pie Maker and both the red and green lights will illuminate. Once the appropriate cooking temperature is reached the green light will turn off.

This is your cue to add the pastry bases directly to each recess and then gently press them with the accompanying pastry cutting tool. Fill them with your desired filling, top with the pastry lid and then use the other side of the cutting tool to get the perfect pie shape. A latch locks the lid into place so the temperature remains constant and the handles make it easy to open, close and transport. Once they have been cooked with the lid closed for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, the pies will be ready to be lifted out, served and enjoyed.

The pie recesses are non-stick

Easy to Use and Easy to Clean

Once the pies have been eaten, the Gourmet Pie Maker continues to keep your kitchen chores to a minimum. The non-stick plates are easy to wipe clean and the lid is hinged for greater access helping with the post-pie clean-up. Storage isn't a concern as the unit closes flat so that it's compact, while also standing upright to keep it secure whether put away horizontally or vertically.

The Gourmet Pie Maker comes with a pastry cutting tool which cuts the correct-sized circles for the base and lid of the pie, and a crimping tool to add decorative edge treatments to your crusts. Also included is a complete recipe guide by Antony Worrall Thompson explaining how to make your own pastry, as well as a variety of simple or more advanced savoury and sweet filling recipes. These suggestions provide a great starting place to get using the Gourmet Pie Maker--ideal for starter chefs that are new to pie-making and as a source of inspiration to more experienced home cooks.
