Sunbeam Pie Magic traditional 4 up

PM4800 $84.95

Sweet and savoury hand-held pies are yours for the baking with the Sunbeam PM4800 Magic Traditional 4 Cup Pie Maker. This smart machine comes with two pastry cutters – one for perfectly sized pie bases, the other for tops – to make assembling your snack as easy as pie. Simply preheat the appliance and then press shortcrust pastry circles into the deep-dish, non-stick plates. Spoon in your chosen filling (think leftover bolognaise, chicken and leek, or perhaps stewed apple), and top with a round of puff pastry. The results – in as little as 12 minutes – are perfect, flaky hot pies for lunch or dessert.

Pastry Cutter

The special cutter is for cutting the pastry tops and bases of your pies. The small cutter side is for the pastry top and the large cutter is for the pastry base.
