The combination of an air fryer and frozen pies is a match made in heaven. Not only can you enjoy the convenience of a quick and crispy pie, but you can also freeze pies for future indulgence.
In this article, we will explore the step-by-step process of cooking frozen pies to perfection in your air fryer and discover how to freeze Mud Foods' pies for ultimate convenience.
Cooking Frozen Pies in Your Air Fryer
Cooking frozen pies in your air fryer is a game-changer, and it's remarkably simple. Whether you're craving our savoury meat pies or sweet dessert pies, follow these steps for a crispy and delightful experience.
Before you embark on your air frying journey, choose the pie that suits your taste. Ensure it fits comfortably in the air fryer basket without touching the sides or top.
Preheat Your Air Fryer
Preheating your air fryer is crucial for even cooking and achieving that golden, crispy crust. Set the temperature to around 320°F (160°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
Prepare the Air Fryer Basket
To prevent your frozen pie from sticking to the basket, lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil. Alternatively, you can use baking paper cut to fit the basket, ensuring the bottom of the pie doesn't stick.
Cook Your Frozen Pie
Now it's time to air fry your frozen pie:
- Gently place the frozen pie into the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure it's centered and not touching the sides.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the size and type of pie. A general guideline is to cook it for 30 minutes at the preheated temperature.
- Monitor the progress to ensure even cooking, and you may need to rotate the pie halfway through the cooking time.
- To confirm that your pie is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for savoury pies.
Rest and Serve
Once your pie is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the filling to settle and makes it easier to eat. Then, serve and enjoy the crispy, golden perfection of your air-fried pie.
