I didn't realize I needed the regular clearjel when I ordered this.  It's probably great for pies and such, but i needed the jel for canning jam.  And the instant kind doesn't work so great when adding it to heated foods.

Pie pans are perfect but too big for silicone crust covers. If you don't use those then you will not be disappointed.

We rarely eat pie but my husband picked up an apple pie last night so I used this again.  It is easy to handle and grip.
I have to cut the pie with a knife then use this to lift out the pieces.  Works well.  I like the size of the handle.

It's a little bit finnicky to get adjusted correctly so that it peels the apples nicely without going too deep, but it works fine once you get it going. It definitely makes making apple pies go a lot faster.

The place where the blade goes through on this cutter could perhaps be made from a stronger material than the plastic of the rest of the item, but it works very well for what it is.  For some reason I've found I get the most stability and least movement of the slicer while I'm using it if I place it on a baking stone.  It can be a bit tricky to hold the bread flush up against the slicer as well as hold the slicer still while using a knife, but with some practice it works out quite well.

It would be OK for doing cakes or larger items, but I wanted to use it for decorating cookies. In theory, you could - but the tips are all so large ( the opening) that you'd have to be decorating some pretty big cookies for it to work properly. Cakes or other larger pastries, I'm sure it's perfect.

Initially, the idea of two desserts in one pie pan was an appealing and fun idea. As it worked out, this pan didn't hold enough to make a decent "half pie."  And what was more troubling, was the worry the the bottom was going to fall out, upon picking it up.  For some reason, it was made of multiple pieces.  That also didn't work for me.  .

I Used it for apple sauce. Problem is it grinds up the peel when u get to the last part. But for the most part it works fine.

I think this is one of the better gluten free pie crust mix out there and it did turn out just fine when I made a blueberry pie but I agree with some other reviewers who said that this pie crust is very difficult to roll out and transfer to a pie dish. I recommend using parchment paper and some tapioca flour while doing this. It's not perfect but it helps. I would still buy it again .

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 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.

Mainly bought it for the chopping feature, but it doesn't chop. Will work on pastry ok. No problems with shipping, etc.

It doesn't burn well...that should indicate how I use it.  Probably fine for crafts and whatnot.

This 8-SLICE PIE CUTTER PRESS makes quick work of dividing an 8-, 9-, or 10-inch pie into eight equal wedges.  You simply take hold of the handles, center the frame over the pie, and press down.  It's a good idea to end with a slight rocking motion, to finish cutting the thicker crust on the rim of the pie dish.  You will still need a knife or a pie server with a serrated edge to finish separating the wedges.

The cutter works best on a pie that has completely cooled.  If the pie filling hasn't set up, the cut pie slices will want to fall apart when you take them out of the baking dish.  This cutter makes fairly small servings, so I usually prefer my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/6-Slice-Pie-Cutter-Press/dp/B002LGEWT6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">6-Slice Pie Cutter Press</a>, or slightly better quality&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/American-Metalcraft-6-Cut-Pie-Cutter/dp/B00125NI0Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">American Metalcraft 6-Cut Pie Cutter</a>.  This pie cutter is stainless steel, and is dishwasher safe.  I've been hand washing mine, because it takes up a lot of space in the dishwasher, but it's easy to wash.

If you are not making the pie filling yourself, this MORE FRUIT variety is one of the better ones.  It does contain more fruit, which makes it better for my purposes.  You sometimes wish to make a pie or cobbler and do not have the fresh fruit on hand or the time to homemake a filling and this will serve the purpose well.

Only downside is hard to microwave properly, it spills over when i try.  the flavor is good but could be more intense.  however it works as a pudding pie, you could also bake it to make a custard type pie or put in oreo crusts etc and put cool whip on top, or just use as pudding or custard.

This item would work fine for bakery white bread or something like that.  It is not so good for hard crusted breads.
