this stuff will solve your runny blueberry pie filling.  i tried cornstarch and tapioca flour both of which did not thicken well.  instant clearjel thickens even before baking the pie and does not break down with heat.  i will stick with clearjel for berry pies.

Excellent product.  I use a different recipe than the one on the bottle for my Key Lime Pie; but this stuff is GOOD!

Okay, so the mixing issue is definitely cause for some concern. But you can just mix it with water and chug it and go about your day. If you're using milk, you're going to need a lot, as milk has tiny particles suspended in it already (it's a colloid, which is why milk is white, reflecting all that light and junk).

Accidentally, however, I found something else to mix with it that blends it rather smoothly and improves the taste: PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. Sold on Amazon with a similar price/weight ratio to the Whey (< $12 / lb is optimal, and it falls into that).

My Recipe:

- 12 oz (~350 ml) of whole fat milk
- 1 scoop Six Star Whey
- 12 g (1 serving) PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
- 10-12 oz (~300-350 ml) water

Shake it all up in my Blender Bottle and it mixes really REALLY well. The flavor has a slight peanut butter taste while also retaining some of that chocolaty taste from the Whey. It's a little gritty, sure, but what do you expect without shaking it in a paint shaker all day for April Fools? Did someone get that reference?

DOES NOT GO WELL WITH BLUEBERRY!! Strawberry is where it's at!

I make an occasional breakfast known as "Overnight Oats", because I hate the flavor of cooked oatmeal. It packs a lot of protein along with plenty of fiber and fats and other goodies.

My Recipe (added in order of recipe - mixing as you go along)

Use a MEDIUM to LARGE container:

- 227 g (1 serving) Whole Fat Greek Yogurt
- 30 g (2 tablespoons) Full Fat Sour Cream
- 16 oz (475 ml) Whole Fat Milk
- 120 g (3 servings) Old Fashioned Oats
- 2 scoops Six Star Whey
- 150 - 200 g (5 - 7 oz) Frozen Strawberries

Once mixed, place in fridge overnight. Mix up and chow down. Mind you this is my recipe and each ingredient (save for the sour cream), is sort of the "base" for this recipe. You can add whatever you want that makes this taste how you like it. Look for "Overnight Oatmeal" on reddit for further ideas.

All in all - like life - this Whey is what you make of it. If you put little effort into it, just chug it and move on. If you want to try and make your protein supplement go further, by all means, experiment. It's probably going to be just like every other protein supplement, and it's reasonably priced.

My mother always used a pie bird in her 2 crust fruit pies.  I never really understood then, just thought it was cute.  But, after seeing a cook on TV use one and gave the reason why, I tried it.  And, oh my goodness did it ever work!  If you use it right, you'll have a cooked, crisp bottom crust even with a 2 crust fruit pie.  Promise.  You just have to make sure you place the pie bird on top of the bottom crust BEFORE you place your filling.  Pour the filling around the pie bird, and after rolling out your top crust, place a small "X" in the middle of the top crust and top your filling (so the "X" goes over the pie bird).  Seal the edges and make a couple additional small vents with a knife and bake.  Also, use a good glass pie pan!

Pie filling was perfect.  Shipping was expensive (as I was only buying one item)... but it was the only option for a gooseberry pie filling in November and it made the perfect pie for a friend.

I use this sugar on baked pies, some cookies and plain top muffins. This is a repeat purchase. My family likes the extra crunch of the large crystals on baked goods. I had run out and I used regular sugar... well, all I can tell you is the pie was fine as pies go but this sugar adds a bit of something special that my family enjoys (and has come to expect). My daughters judge other pies by saying it would have been better if they used the sugar Dad uses. Building memories of home made pie the way Dad does it. That makes it a winner for me.
Cheers,

If you have a hankering for petite pies (and they do mean petite), this one has a good chance to satisfy you. Sweet, savory - it's all good. I mean that quite literally - so far, this has not produced a bad product.

Crusts can be made from mixes like bisquick or from scratch; you can use premade crusts, including desert pie crusts and canned biscuit dough. Oil the pan and preheat it; add your crust and your filling (not as much as I would wish - I do wish these pies were a *little* less petite). Set your timer (but don't expect it to turn the device off) and voila.

Note that this pie maker runs hot - you can't set the temperature, so you have to precook slow-cooking ingredients like meat or fruit. If you leave your pies in long enough to cook the filling, the crust will burn.

I wish the pie maker was a little less petite, but didn't fault it for that. What would really make the difference for me here is removable plates. It would facilitate clean-up and make me that much more ready to reach for this. I also wish that the exterior remained cool. I wouldn't feel comfortable using this with children.

It's worth noting that petite pie makers are available in a lot of different price points. This one is on the pricey end. While it's really quality, there may be others out there that will satisfy you for less cost. Shop around.

I rarely review food. Seriously. Most of it isn't worth it, good or bad. But this?? This?? I was tired of the "bland, flavorless" healthy cereals. Here is a company who gets it. They actually have granola cereals with FLAVOR, not just texture.

It has a little more sugar in it than I would like (I have diabetes), but if you use it sparingly OR mix it with other things, you can really make it work. I have added it to hot oatmeal, used it for a yogurt topping (vanilla almond ROCKS this), mixed it with Rip's Big Bowl to make it taste better (half and half - it's beautiful). I am contemplating how in the world to turn it into a pie crust. I really think there's a future there...

Love this product. Impact?? Please keep making delicious stuff like this!!

P.S. I actually discovered this when I was reaching for a box of Rip's at WF and a gentleman suggested I try this instead. I am usually dubious of stranger-recommended items, but I grabbed one to be polite and promptly went back the next day for another flavor.

I used the clear jet when canning peaches for a pie filling.  Whether you use it with canning or just baking a pie it makes for a wonderfully full filling, I had no running of my pie filling and I used a bit less than the recipe called for.  Will be using this for all pies from now on.

I Like this Pie Bird it helps me Bake Good Pies. The Pie Birds prevent the Pie filling from boiling up and leaking through the Crust and keeping the Bottom Pie Dough from turning Soggy. I collect and got many of them and they do work. Every time I make a Pie according to the Pie size, I select one Pie Bird and put it on top of the very center of the Bottom Pie Dough and it makes it Crisp and Flaky by releasing the Steam through his Beak and working as a Funnel.

The Spode Woodland Pie Bird is Big, Measures 4.2 Inches High by 2 -1/2 Inches Wide and he is also well Painted. The Pie Bird is Hallow, Empty in the Inside and it has Archs/Openings on the Edge of the Botton of his Feet which is very good for the Steam to go through. The Pie Bird arrived in a Box inside an Envelope without any Problems. ...Thank You D.D.

I bought the Red Raspberry and I love it! It mixes so easily and doesn't taste gross. I mix mine with a half of a banana, some kind of frozen berry, and water or the new tropicana 50 calorie juice and it taste awesome. It makes me feel full and I have been loosing weight so its a win win for me. Next I'm going to try the blueberrie, haven't heard great things about the chocolate.

This worked great! You need to get this if you by the Wilton mini pie pan.

I first tried this a couple of years ago when I found out I was allergic to dairy, egg and wheat.  All you have to add is a milk (coconut, rice, or almond, etc) and a tad bit of oil.  They are amazing, especially if you throw in some frozen blueberries just before you toss them on the griddle.  I feed them to my gluten/dairy eating family members regularly and everyone inhales them with pleasure.

Sorry. Couldn't help it. Sorry. LOVE this thing. Absolutly love. I have a problem with overstuffing  my pies. I like my filling a little too much and even when trying to dial back, I overdo it. This thing has made that no longer a problem. My pies are full to the brim and STILL some out pretty. Lovely object. Surprisingly easy to clean by hand, though I do recommend having a straw cleaning device for the mouth. It's large enough not to need one with a bit more elbow grease, but still it's helpful.

Just received mine today. Tried making apple and peach pies using canned pie filling and my own pie crust and they came out great. Having warm peach pie with vanilla ice cream as I type the review. Worth the money so far. Will try making  blueberry muffins soon.
