An Introduction to your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Sunbeam Pie Magic 4.
With your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4, you can
turn any ingredients, left-overs or canned
food into delicious pies – great for appetisers,
meals, desserts, supper or snacks.
Now you and the whole family can make
golden brown, crispy pies at home, using your
choice of delicious and imaginative fillings.
Make up to four perfect pies every time ...
it’s magic!
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.
Note: During cooking, you may notice a
whistling sound. This is normal and is due to
steam escaping from the pies.
Your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 is so versatile you
can even make muffins, cup cakes, quiche
and cheesecakes.
Before using your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4
Before using your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 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
4 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.

Pie Magic 4
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
Figure 1
However, shortcrust pastry or puff pastry can
be used for both the tops and bases of your
pies.
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 4 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
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.
Continue overlapping pastry slits until a
pastry base is formed. See Figure 3.
Note: For best results, frozen pastry should be
used as soon as it is thawed.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 continued
Place the pastry base in the preheated pie
maker and carefully press into the base.
See Figure 4.
For more recipes see “101 Great Pie Ideas”
recipe booklet provided with your Sunbeam
Pie Magic 4.
Cooking the pies.
Place the pastry tops over the filling and
close the lid. Cook the pies for approximately
6 minutes. If you prefer extra browning, we
recommend you cook for 8 minutes.
Note: During cooking you may notice a
whistling sound. This is due to steam
escaping from the pies.
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.
Figure 4
Caution: Only touch the pastry as the pie
maker will be very hot.
Using left-over pastry.
Make more pies, garnishes and decorations
with the left-over pastry.
Adding the filling.
Any ingredients you have in your kitchen,
left-overs and canned food make tempting
pie fillings.
Lightly knead the left-over pieces into a ball
and roll out to approximately 3mm thick.
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.
Hint: It is easier to roll pastry between 2
sheets of grease proof paper.
To make garnishes and decorations, cut the
pastry into any shape, such as leaves.
Ensure all ingredients are cut into small and
even pieces to allow them to heat through.
Place the shape on the pastry top before
closing the lid.
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.
Note: It is recommended that only shortcrust
ready rolled pastry be re-rolled. Also,
keep the pastry covered to prevent drying
and cracking.
Spoon your pre-cooked filling into the pastry
base. As a general rule, use ¹/ cup of filling,
³
per pie. Do not overfill your pies.

Making pies in your Sunbeam Pie Magic 4 continued
Pre-cutting pastry.
Cut the pie tops and bases using the cutter
and trim the crusts.
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.
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.
Hint: Avoid using liquid fillings as they tend
to make the bread soggy.
Using bread.
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.
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
Defrosting and reheating pies
