Smart Planet PPM-1K Keebler Personal Pie Maker

I got one of these from my CVS Drugstore for $20. I had a coupon so got it for less than half price. I wouldn't pay more than that.

The first batch of pies came out great. The directions tell you to use pie crust for the bottom crusts and puff pastry for the top. I didn't know that when I bought it. Don't expect to be churning out loads of pies though. Each batch of 4 takes about 8-11 minutes.

Pros: Tasty pies and you can make any flavor you want

Cons: After the first batch, the item is hot so you are trying to put pie crust into it without getting burned.

Second, the pies are difficult to get out of the pie maker in one piece. My tops kept coming off.The third batch was a hot mess, literally. The pies leaked everywhere, the bottom crust was difficult to position, and two tops didn't get cooked while the other ones were getting too brown.

My plan had been to make several pies to give as gifts to neighbors but I am afraid this will be one of those appliances that I only use once in a blue moon. While the pies are cute and nice for small servings, it is much easier to just make a big pie.

I bought this mini pie maker this weekend, and made several batches of pies for dessert. Using the pie maker was very easy and fun. First you have to find the just right size round item to use as your "mold." I used a tall saki cup that was was perfect. Then use roll-out pie dough for the bottom crust , and puff pastry for the top. Fill the pies with whatever sounds good. I used chocolate and lemon pudding and cherry pie filling. So we had lemon, chocolate, cherry and chocolate-cherry pies. Each batch cooks 4 pies. The instructions say bake for 8-11 minutes, but I didn't even time them. After a few minutes, open the pie maker and see if the crust looks done. If it looks done, it is done. Puff pastry that's golden brown is perfect. If it's not golden, give it another minute or two and check again. All together, I think mine baked for about 6 minutes, but each one is unique, so check like you would a pie in the oven. To remove them from the pie maker, I used the point of a steak knife, and it worked perfectly. I cooled them on a rack and transferred them to a plate based on what flavor filling was inside. Today I made only sweet pies, but I'm certain that savory pies like mini empenadas would be great too.

I served my pies to kids ranging from age 14-15 and adults 28 to 50-something. They were a hit with the kids and adults. It was fun having a personal pie that was big enough for 3-5 bites, but small enough that you didn't feel guilty or stuffed. They were fresh and yummy and just plain fun! I will use my pie maker again soon. I know my kids will be asking, "when will you be making more pies for us?"

I know, I know.You get what you pay for, right?lol

This was in the outlet and I didn't pay much and I'm glad i didn't.It heats very unevenly and even though I followed the directions regarding the quantity of filling to use, it was too much and made a mess!I'm not sure if i'll even try using it again.
