I put a frozen pie with the foil case in for 8 mins/180C on airfry and the top was done but the base and the filling was still frozen. I then took the top off and put it in for another 5 mins and the middle had defrosted and the pastry was still raw. I then put the lid back on, turned it upside down and put the airfryer on bake for 5 mins. It just ended up a faff.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cook a simple 1 person frozen pie in the oven?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52006509","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"midhukd2"},"datePublished":"2024-01-18T00:05:10.000Z","text":"Start upside down (foil side up) to thaw and warm through.
Remove foil and bake bottom then turn over to brown/puff up top."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52003652","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Iain"},"datePublished":"2024-01-17T19:53:39.000Z","text":"What pies did you try and what was the regular cooking instructions?

Surely no heat will get to the bottom of it otherwise.
something like this. ninjakitchen.co.uk/pro…UUK"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52005564","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Roger_Irrelevant"},"datePublished":"2024-01-17T22:22:58.000Z","text":"Defrost it first and cook it on 160 the 200 right at the end to crisp it off."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52007185","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"carlgjohns"},"datePublished":"2024-01-18T06:14:47.000Z","text":"I remove the foil, cook on Reheat (or 170 degrees) for about 20 minutes, then turn over and air-fry at 180 for 10 minutes.

20° & 20%
Thus, 25 to 30 mins at 180 becomes a starting point of 20 to 24 mins at 160° however frozen pies tend to burn on the top as the filling is frozen, so cover with foil once brown enough."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52010399","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"parv1"},"datePublished":"2024-01-18T12:59:25.000Z","text":"thanks for the guidance everyone.
Think i'll try the upside down technique first. Bake for 10 mins at 160, check, bake for another 10 mins at 160. Hopefully by then its good, turn back upright and airfry top for 5 mins at 160, check and then maybe try again with the 5 mins if needed.
Recently , mccain fries and golden drummers done in 13 mins, airfry at 180 (shaken half way).......Lovely "}],"commentCount":10,"interactionStatistic":3,"articleSection":"Ask"}
