Congratulations on your purchase of the Wolfgang Puck

Pie & Pastry Baker. With automatic temperature control and no buttons to press you will find this one of the easiest, yet versatile appliances in your kitchen. Make everything from pies and tarts, to cakes & quiche.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials.

See Care & Cleaning section of this manual for proper cleaning. We recommend a “trial run” to eliminate any protective substance or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping. Plug your unit into a standard 120v wall outlet and let the Pie Maker run for 15 minutes. You may notice some smoking coming from your Pie Maker during this initial phase, this is normal.

Season the cooking plates with vegetable oil and rub off excess with a paper towel. There is no need to season the plates again.

WARNING: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the appliance.

Using Your Pie Maker

Place your pie maker on a stable, level surface. Close the cover and plug into a 120-volt 60 HZ AC outlet only. The red light will turn on indicating that the appliance is powered on and preheating. In approximately 5- 10 minutes the green light will illuminate when the appliance is preheated and ready for use. The green light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicting that the correct temperature is being maintained. Always keep the cover closed when preheating or in-between uses.

Cakes & Muffins

1 If making cakes and muffins fill the mold directly approximately 2/3rds full (see figure 1) unless the recipe states otherwise. Close the cover and press the Locking Latch in until it clicks

Figure 1

2 Set a timer for the specified time as indicated in your recipe. You will notice the green ready light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

3 When the cooking time is complete unplug the pie maker from the wall outlet. Pull the Locking latch up from the bottom and carefully lift the lid. If you need additional browning simply close the lid and set the timer to the desired additional time.

4 Carefully remove the cake or muffin from the mold by using a nylon or wooden spatula. Do not use metal utensils to avoid damaging the nonstick surface.

Figure 2

Pies & Tarts

1 If making pies and tarts use the

Reversible Pie Cutter to make the molds. The larger side is for the pie bottom, and the smaller for the pie top. If you are using a premade pie crust from the store you can get two bottoms from one crust. Make the first bottom as close to the edge as possible and firmly press down (see figure 2).

Using Your Pie Maker cont.

Figure 3a

Figure 3b

For the second mold cut the pie edges from the side and reposition in the center (see figure 3a and 3b).

The Pie Cutter creates slits in the dough for the bottoms that allow you to overlap the dough for a better fit (see figure 4).

2 Unless the recipe states otherwise we recommend using Puff Pastry dough for the tops, and standard pie crust dough for the bottom.

(Pie tarts do not have tops, when finished filling the bottom mold close the cover and start the cooking process). If using store brought dough you can find Puff

Pastry dough in the freezer section of your supermarket. Pie crust dough is usually found in the refrigerated section near the cookie dough, biscuits, and cinnamon roll dough

3 Open the Pie Maker and place the large bottom dough over the Pie

Mold (see fig 5).

Using Your Pie Maker cont.

Figure 6

Figure 6

Figure 7

Add about 3/4 cup of your fillings

(unless recipe states otherwise) to the Pie Maker. (see figure 6). The weight of the fillings will cause the dough to drop down into the mold; you can also use the bottom of a ladle or rounded spoon to gently press the dough into the mold being careful not to tear the dough. Press the dough down gently over the edges.

WARNING! Surfaces are hot. Never touch the cooking surface directly with your fingers

4 If your recipe calls for a top, place the molded dough top over the filled mold and close the cover (see figure 7). Press the locking latch in until you hear a click indicating that it is locked.

5 Set a timer for the specified time as indicated in your recipe. You will notice the green ready light will cycle on and off during the cooking process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

6 When the cooking time is complete unplug the pie maker from the wall outlet. Pull the Locking latch up from the bottom and carefully lift the lid. If you need additional browning simply close the lid and set the timer to the desired time.

7 Carefully remove the pie from the mold by using a thin nylon or wooden spatula. You can also use a bamboo skewer to slide down teh side of the pie. Lift one end of the pie up and slide the spatula underneath to remove the pie from the housing. Be careful as the pie, contents, and appliance are hot.

Do not use metal utensils

to avoid damaging the nonstick

surface.
