My family used to own a round pie maker and what they really liked is that it would burn off the edges. Does this do that as well or no?

It's too big to really burn off the edges for normal white bread. It still is small enough to seal the edges fairly well, but it doesn't stick out so far to burn off the edges.

If the edges burn, it comes off with little effort by scraping it with a knife before opening.

The square irons are large enough that the normal loaf bread stays inside the edges. We tried some Texas toast which stuck out but every batch delicious!

The edges are all rounded. No sharp edges anywhere. I have several of these, and have given several as gifts. I use it when ever I am frying anything, keeps my stove somewhat splatter free.

A good question. I have used the mesh for heating frozen pies. - Works great but the pastry takes the form of the mesh where there is contact. If the meatloaf or chicken fried steak is soft, then the contact area with the mesh will have some anchoring but is easily removed and will mot damage the mesh. Place a dripping pan on the bottom shelf of the oven

I had no trouble with it since I mostly make the round cakes. I do wait until it has sufficiently cooled before I slice into it which I did anyway before I got the Slicer. As always make sure the wire is level and you have a level surface to place your cake on and that it does not move then push or pull it slowly. I've done this on 3 cakes and the only time I had trouble was when I did not let it cool enough. Good luck

I bought mine a little over a year ago and it is more square than round. I don't know which version/shape provides more surface area for cooking. I don't see a downside to either version. No hot or cool spots. All things being equal, the heating source is the key to success. The slightly square version fits nicely and is stable on my portable gas grill.

It depends on how evenly your grill / heat source heats the stones. If you have hot spots you will need to spin the pie. It does a great job but you need to tend to the baking process.

It all depends on how much dough you use. I use about a baseball sized ball of dough. After you roll it out evenly, take a pizza cutter/butter knife and cut off maybe an inche off the edge all the way around, roll the dough up on your rolling pin, and unroll it across into your pie plate. You can always cut the extra off. Ive used mine like 100 times...you have to just experiment.

I had the same problem, so I reduced the heat to 375 & increased the time by a couple of minutes. You'll still need to keep a sharp eye on them, however, so the edges don't burn.

I turned mine on a little too high once and noticed that the spatula (which came with the cookware set) melted a little on the surface. I couldn't get it completely off when I washed the pan. I think it has worn off now, but I wasn't thrilled about that because I don't really like using plastic to begin with. This is the ONLY problem I've had so far with this cookware.

I would not try flaming the crepe on the machine. I am sure it would damage the surface of the machine and could ruin it. The machine makes crepes so fast that there is not enough time for any type of burning. I love the machine because it make s great crepes quickly and the dinner is ready is ready in not time. My old machine was so slow and the crepes were hard and break very quickly. My kids would have to beg for crepes cause of the time and results, I hated making them. Now, I make them all the time even for breakfast. So I would not risk ruining the machine by burning the crepe on it. I would not try flaming the crepe on the machine.

A bit. When I tried to use it to fry something on high heat, the edges got a bit melty.

Sorry, this item was bought as a Christmas gift for someone else, but I would guess it would work long as the burner setting was on low and the pie iron was oiled before using

If you are roasting it correctly you would have no smoke. But using an exhaust fan above your stove is a wise move. I have never had any smoke come out of my machine. But the heat from it does have my smoke detector go off.

Cover the pie for half the cooking time. I've baked several pies and found this worked beautifully. The problem with all toaster ovens is that the coils are too close to item you are baking.

I have. The hole wasn't an issue. I believe its there to accommodate the other cooking methods (steaming, baking) but it didn't change the result of my recipes. I totally love that thing and it's multi functions. Hope this helped a little.

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

These are oval shaped and not designed for round pies. If you use the bowls it comes with that would be fine, but you can't put them in the oven. You end up needing to make something more like a no bake cheesecake / pudding type. Try looking at some of Wilton's stands.
