To preheat the Salter EK1691 Deep Fill Pie Maker, plug it into a power outlet and close the lid. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, which means it has reached the correct temperature.

What type of pastry is best suited for the pie maker?

Shortcrust pastry is ideal for the Salter EK1691 Deep Fill Pie Maker as it holds together well and bakes evenly. You can also use puff pastry for a flakier texture.

How can I prevent my pies from sticking to the pie maker?

To prevent sticking, lightly grease the pie maker plates with a non-stick spray or a small amount of butter before placing the pastry.

What is the recommended cooking time for pies?

The recommended cooking time is approximately 10-15 minutes, but this can vary depending on the filling and thickness of the pastry. Check for a golden-brown color as an indicator of doneness.

How do I clean the Salter EK1691 Deep Fill Pie Maker after use?

Allow the pie maker to cool completely, then wipe the plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the appliance in water.

Can I use the pie maker to cook other foods besides pies?

Yes, the pie maker can also be used to cook omelets, pastries, or even small quiches. Ensure that the ingredients fit within the pie mold for even cooking.

Why is my pie maker not heating up?

Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and that the power outlet is functioning. If the problem persists, there might be an internal issue, and it is best to contact customer support.

How can I avoid overfilling the pies?

Use a small amount of filling, about 2-3 tablespoons, ensuring that the filling does not overflow the pastry edges. This will prevent spills during cooking.

What should I do if the indicator light is not working?

Ensure the appliance is connected to a working power source. If the issue continues, it may need servicing or replacement. Contact customer service for further assistance.

Is it normal for the pie maker to emit smoke during the first use?
