You have to spray the machine cups with non-stick spray like PAM, or bush with oil or butter in order for the pies to come out. Even if non-stick, you still have to grease them a little. Also, when you put the bottom crust in, use the bottom of a glass to form the cup down into the pan. Then add filling. Use plenty of filling and mound it in the center of the pie to form a "hill". Next, I use a puff pastry dough for the top crust. I also spray the top of the crust well with spray and then bake. If you can't get them out of the pan, get a pot holder, grab machine and flip them out.

Oh I don't spray things like this with PAM. At most, I'll brush with shortening, but the pies weren't stuck. They were just awkward to get out, but I learned a trick from Wolfgang. He basically makes a sling out of parchment paper or foil and it gives the pies "handles". ☺ Yes puff pastry gives a nice upper crust but it's also a lot more expensive than pie crust. I'm cheap! 😂

Thanks so much for the tips and I appreciate you watching ☺

That is a pie I would like to eat.greetings from Australia.

Love that you really use ALL the gadgets! I have all of those but tend to use just one at a time.

I might try stuffed peppers in mine. Thank you.

I think adding fresh veggies instead of packed ones will give a bright lushly look with fresher and better taste.

My first attempt was a nightmare! It was my fault though. I wanted a flakier crust so I used crescent dough...not a good idea because it was hard getting the dough to keep its shape. I filled them too much and they overflowed...what a mess! The pie maker was not too bad cleaning up though. It cleans easily. Next time I will use pie dough... I want to make them and freeze them for my husband while I am at work.

great job Chrystal

Oh wow. Love these HONEST reviews!! Your recipe looked delicious! oh, they should have designed two little 'tags' on each side of the individual pie sections so you could just lift the tags and place the pies on a plate. Know what I mean? When designing ANYTHING, men don't think through all the possibilities of difficulty in achieving the ultimate goal. But thanks for your video. If I should buy a pie maker in the future, it won't be his. Have a great day!

Yea I agree. I find that making a foil or parchment paper sling is VERY helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ☺

When top does not brown turn maker over and let cook. Spray maker with oil so it will not stick!

Love chicken pot pie! Great job

Good tip on topping the filling. Manual that came with it said 7 to 9 minutes, but I had to let them cook for about 15 minutes

+Tony M yes the cook time is longer. I also saw after I made the video that the manual recommends puff pastry for the top. It works better, but it is also more expensive. I'll stick with over filling the pies to brown the top. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺

My Gadget Kitchen buying ready made pastry crust is too expensive. I found I could make 3 pies with 2 rolls that cost around $4. Next time I will make my own dough. Happy with the way they turned out and tasted. I don't recommend making hash browns as one KZread video suggest

Dust the pie oven with some flour that would help the pies come out easily.

saifulizhan thanks so much for watching and commenting ☺ It's not a sticking issue, just awkward to get out. I figured out a better way to remove in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ynyiu9uNfMzeqNo.html
