SUNBEAM PIE MAGIC.
• Do not allow the internal components of the
Sunbeam Pie Magic to get wet at any time.

on a flat and stable surface during operation.
• Do not immerse or drop the Sunbeam Pie
Magic in water or in any other liquid.
Sunbeam is very safety conscious when

An Introduction to your Sunbeam
Pie Magic
Now you and the whole family can make
golden brown, crispy pies at home, using your
choice of delicious and imaginative fillings.
With your Sunbeam Pie Magic, you can turn
any ingredients, left-overs or canned food
into delicious pies – great for appetisers,
meals, desserts, supper or snacks.
You will be amazed at the variety of pies you
can make - chicken, beef, pork, vegetable and
seafood pies; as well as fruit and sweet pies.
Make perfect pies every time ...
it’s magic!
You can also use it to heat up frozen and
thawed, cooked pies.
Before using your Sunbeam
Pie Magic
Before using your Sunbeam Pie Magic for
the first time, the non-stick plates must be
seasoned to protect the non-stick surface.
After this initial seasoning, there is no need
to season the plates after each use as the
pastry leaves the plates slightly seasoned.
Plug the power cord into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power ON. Preheat
the pie maker for 5 minutes. Season the
plates by applying a thin coat of cooking
oil onto the surface and rub in with paper
towelling.
Note: When using your Sunbeam Pie Magic
for the first time, you may notice a fine
smoke haze being emitted. This is normal
and is due to the initial heating of the
internal components.
Alternatively add oil to paper towelling and
rub over the cooking plates.

Makingpies in your Sunbeam
Pie Magic
What type of pastry can be used?
(a) TOP
There is a wide selection of ready rolled
pastry available in your supermarket freezer,
such as shortcrust, puff, butter puff and
wholemeal pastry. These pastries give great
results and are handy to keep in your freezer.
We recommend using Puff Pastry for the top
combined with a Shortcrust Pastry for the base.
(b) BASE
However, shortcrust pastry or puff pastry can
be used for both the tops and bases of your
pies.
Figure 1
Forming the pastry.
Using both hands, overlap the pastry slits by
approximately 15mm. See Figure 2. Press
the slits gently to ensure they join properly.
For a light and more buttery taste, use
butter puff pastry for your pastry top,
combined with a shortcrust pastry for your
base. This combination is ideal for desserts.
Homemade pastry can also be used.
Preheat the Pie Magic for 5 minutes, and
defrost your frozen ready rolled pastry while
preparing your pies.
Cutting the pastry.
Use the special pie cutter provided to cut
the pastry tops and bases for your pies. The
small cutter is for the top and the large
cutter is for the base. See Figure 1.
Figure 2
Continue overlapping pastry slits until a
pastry base is formed. See Figure 3.
To cut your pastry pieces, position the cutter
on a flat sheet of pastry and cut by pressing
down into the pastry. Ensure the cut is
smooth around the edges.
Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be
used as soon as it is just thawed.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic continued
Place the pastry base in the preheated pie
maker and carefully press into the base.
See Figure 4.
Spoon your pre-cooked filling into the pastry
base. Use a level ¹/ metric cup of filling,
³
per pie. Do not overfill your pies.
¹⁄
¹⁄
³
³
Do not overfill. Use a level ¹/ metric cup.
³
Caution: Do not overfill your pie cases or have
excess liquid ingredients (sauces, gravies,
custards). This will result in overflow from the
pie maker. Pie filling is hot and can scald.
Figure 4
Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.
Cooking the pies.
Place the pastry tops over the filling and
close the lid. Cook the pies for approximately
5-6 minutes. If you prefer extra browning, we
recommend you cook for 8 minutes.
Adding the filling.
Any ingredients you have in your kitchen,
left-overs and canned food make tempting
pie fillings.
Caution: During cooking, open the pie maker
slowly and carefully, as excess pie filling may
overflow and can scald.
Pre-cook your pie fillings, particularly if
using fresh meat or vegetable ingredients.
Ingredients such as fruit and canned food
can be used without pre-cooking.
Tip: Fruit or vegetable fillings won’t take
as long to heat and cook through as meat
fillings.
Ensure all ingredients are cut into small and
even pieces to allow them to heat through.
Note: During cooking you may notice a
whistling sound. This is due to steam
escaping from the pies.
Note: Do not use liquid ingredients such as
sauces, gravies and custard on their own or
in large amounts, as they will overflow and
make the pastry soggy. Always combine with
solid ingredients. Also do not use hot fillings
as the pastry base will become soggy.
Remove your pies using a plastic utensil.
DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS AS THESE WILL
SCRATCH THE NON-STICK SURFACE. Wipe the
plates clean after making each pie.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic continued
Using left-over pastry.
Using bread.
Make more pies, garnishes and decorations
with the left-over pastry.
Bread can be used as a substitute for pastry.
The best results are achieved using sandwich
bread. Avoid using toast style bread as it is
too thick.
Lightly knead the left-over pieces into a ball
and roll out to approximately 3mm thick.
Cut the pie tops and bases using the cutter
and trim the crusts.
Hint: It is easier to roll pastry between 2
sheets of grease proof paper.
Spread one side of the bread with butter
or margarine. Make the pies as previously
instructed, with the buttered side of the
bread on the outside to prevent sticking.
Cook for 6 minutes.
To make garnishes and decorations, cut the
pastry into any shape, such as leaves.
Place the shape on the pastry top before
closing the lid.
Note: It is recommended that only shortcrust
ready rolled pastry be re-rolled. Also,
keep the pastry covered to prevent drying
and cracking.
Hint: Avoid using liquid fillings as they tend
to make the bread soggy.
Note: When using a non-pastry base in your
pie maker it will be necessary to season the
plates with a little oil, butter or margarine
each time to prevent sticking.
Pre-cutting pastry.
Pastry can be pre-cut and stored in the
freezer so that anyone can make pies at their
convenience. After cutting up the pastry,
separate each piece with a layer of plastic.
Cover completely with plastic and return to
the freezer.

Defrosting and reheating pies
Defrosting.
Oven: Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Room temperature: pies will defrost in
approximately 1 hour.
