    Yes, but just wait. When I was offered mine, I was so excited. I'm going to try it out tomorrow. I can't wait.
    You were right, I got an email from a lovely lady yesterday and I've been and picked it up this morning! It looks just about new and had the cutters but not the instructions so I'm off to have a look at the link Alexan posted.

    Well done you!:T I got the instruction book, but no cutters. It did take me a while to get the right size the first time, but it did make lovely pies.

    Oh, that one says you can also do scones & muffins in it, I've only got instructions for pies. Has anyone got a recipe?

    Do you heat up the princess stewing steak before putting it in the pie maker?

    Wow, I bought a Breville Pie Maker off eBay and it is fantastic! Thanks for the idea. The pies are so cheap to make and I know what I am putting in them - Great!

    I had a pie maker in my cupboard for years having only tried it once when I first bought it....I threw it away last month! I did try to give it to Oxfam first but they don't take electical goods apparently....

    Wish I had seen this thread first. I fancy a pie now :(
