Mini Pocket Pie Mold, Red 4.75 inch x 4.5 inch/12cm x 11.5cm

These work great for hand pies. Leaves them trimmed well and it gives them a finished look.

This is a very good press. Con. Doesn't cut clean. I use a ravioli roller to make my pizza dough for this. Used one can apple filling chopped in my one cup chopper. 1 can filling did 12 Pie's. 2 cups worth. Made 3 cups for dough. Was 1 cup to many. Made 2 extra out of a jam. I rolled my dough using fair amount flour. Thru my raviola roller bought Amazon for 29 dollars see its bout 26 now. First couple dough doesn't fit. Not big enough. Rolled it with small roller. Better. But not great. .wait run it thru the last setting of 5 on my roller. Better not good enough. Set the roller num 6. Perfect. Was thru twice. Fits more than enough. No pulling and stretching. You can see in attached photos. I also learned after about 3 times thru num 1. I press the dough together. At the ends while still in the press. Now I have a continuous belt of dough using my left hand to give it slack. Then 3 times thru on 4 more settings and never pull it out. Cut with dough scraper. Then cut and stack with lot flour in between each piece. Put some flour on the press and really never did it again. No sticking problems. Oh will stick slightly is you don't pull most of the excess. With that cut or pulled it falls right out In some of the pics you will see how over fitting the dough by running it one click thinner. Covered the press easy Just baked up a dozen apple pies. Poked a small holes in top. Needed to twist the blade. Got about 4 that leaked. Need some room to let off steam. Not Press's fault. Cut a v and pry dough up. Maybe 2 slots. Live learn

I bought this expecting it to be easy to use, but it kept coming apart when I tried to fold over the crust. Not easy for me to use

First I will say that it got here a few days early, I'd selected the no rush shipping option which at checkout it said it'd be here on a Tuesday, well my surprise when I got home on Saturday to find it already here. Was a very nice surprise. PIZZA DOUGH REVIEW - I bought this thinking it'd make my pizza pockets quicker and easier to make, and well I wasn't exactly right but I wasn't wrong either. When I make pizza pockets I'll admit I'm just making something quick and easy, sometimes because I'm in a hurry and well...sometimes because I'm being lazy. And well who doesn't like junk food on occasion? So I get all my things together to make them, can pizza dough, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, bell pepper, and well you get the picture. I read the directions and think, okay, this will be easy. I used a little flour and rolled out my dough, cut the dough, put it in and then realized...yeah this isn't going to work. The dough when cut using the bottom of mold is a bit too little, you'll have to stretch the dough a bit more to get it to fit on top of the mold properly, which mean DO NOT ROLL YOUR DOUGH TOO THIN. After fixing that mistake I reached the point of putting the top dough over the filling and pressing it down, then opening it...2nd mistake hits me. I didn't use enough flour and the dough is sticking to the mold a bit too much, pulling it out was a chore because I was trying not to rip the whole thing open and cause a huge mess, I was only half successful. I did manage to save that one but once cooked...yeah I should have just tossed it, there were a lot of leaks on it and it ended up in the garbage anyways. So yet again I go back, redo my dough with quite a bit of flour and the whole thing finally worked right. I ended up with nice little pizza pockets, though I will admit I didn't get half the fillings in I wanted. The moral of this for me is "When trying to make a quick meal quicker...DON'T" I literally could have made pizza pockets and cooked them twice by the time I was ready to put these in the oven. I'm hopeful next time (when/if I get the nerve to mess with it again) will go a little quicker, but to be truthful even the flouring and rolling out of dough to the proper thickness is a little time consuming. It's just much quicker and easier to make the pockets my old way, they don't look as pretty as with the mold but I'm just not sure pretty is worth the trouble. PIE CRUST REVIEW - Thankfully I had no problems with using pie crust with the mold...if I had I'm afraid I would have chucked this into the "Junk Drawer" where it would never be seen again. I used a premade pie crust from the refrigerated section of the store (2 crusts in 1 box) and had no trouble at all making my mini pies. OVERALL - I won't be chucking it in the "Junk Drawer" but I won't be using it half as often as I thought I would be.

I wanted to make apple handpies and found this product by Norpro. It arrived in a couple of days, packaged really well, no damage. Used it today to make the handlpies and loved it! I used a pizza wheel to cut the dough to the size of the press. I dabbed a little water on the edges of the dough and they sealed beautifully with a really good seal and no leakage. Just make sure to cut the steam vents in the top crust. I made designs with a paring knife. I also used an egg wash and sprinkled with coarse sugar. Heaven! I heartily recommend! Can't wait to make meat pies.

Just right for portion sizes because you know we always want to eat the whole pie. It makes anything with dough. Be inventive. No more trying to seal anything with a fork anymore. Just place a full piece of pastry dough over whole mini mold fill and close. You have the choice to fill it with anything you want. and it doesn't split open. I make extra and cook them 3/4 of the way through and freeze them. When I take them out I finish the cooking time and they taste just as good as if you baked them right away. I sometimes use meat and vegs. for the filling. I cook up what I want first then fill close and seal. Then I bake them until they are crispy. You can't go wrong, well maybe sometimes until you get the hang of it. It is sturdy but don't try over filling it. That's the trial an error part. It would make a perfect gift. If you give someone homemade made anything along with the Nopro then they will be hooked just as much as you will be. It's not just a gadget that you through into your cabinet it is a real useful addition to your kitchen.

Seriously, this should work, but there are so many design flaws, it just doesn’t. First, the dough cutouts on the back aren’t big enough to fit on the inside so you have to make them bigger after you cut them out. Then, when you press together, it doesn’t seal. No matter how I washed the dough, set the dough, pressed lightly, pressed firmly, it just thinned it out and cut it off, leaving unsealed dough sides, or didn’t seal it at all. I tried so many different ways and could not get it to work. I had to seal the edges by hand in the end, but it was all so mangled, it was harder and longer to do than if I just did it by hand in the first place. And they all looked awful. I really wanted to like this because my kids love hand pies and i wanted an easier way to make them. But no way. Would give this zero stars if I could. DO NOT recommend. AWFUL product.

Looking forward to using this with my 6 yr old granddaughter
