can i cook pastry in my toasted sandwich maker?

Folio

Titles says it all really.....am thinking it would be quicker (and cheaper) if I could make either fruit pies or meat pies this way - using cooked filling obviously - anyone tried this?

I don't think so.... the outside of the pastry would burn from contact with hot plates and it wouldn't cook properly.

I don't see why not - it can't be all that different to the pie makers that you used to be able to buy. Did a google and came up with this:

I've done it before, it's a long time ago but i think I made fruit turnover type things, and I think something like a cornish pastie. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. The pastry does cook properly. I used shortcrust pastry. HTH

You learn something new every day. I'd be tempted to dig mine out and try it if I didn't have a remoska.

I might give this a go, as I unearthed my unused sandwich toaster the other day and wondered what OS thing to do with it (other than toast sandwiches which Im obviously not doing having forgotten about it!)
Might try jam filled pastry first. Pop tarts!!

my mum use to make pasties in hers and she said they turned out lovely, she also did pasty filling in bread aswell and said that was nice.

Any idea on timings? I'm assuming it'd take rather longer than the three minutes a toasted sandwich takes.

i've got a really old breville cook book.(having said that it really old it came out in 82 so it a year younger than me, but i'm not getting old!!!,lol) and it is full of recipes to cook purely in a sandwich toaster.

this is the book
