    Putting the pie in the microwave and then into the air fryer to crisp it up is equivalent to the reverse sear method for steak, very fancy 👌

    I usually GET my pies from my local Vietnamese bakery! They do a GREAT range of pies. They clear them out at the end of the day for 2 trays for the price of 1, and I freeze them, & take 1 out for lunch now & then!

    Fergusson Plaire. I buy their pies as a " party pack". I also get their pasties that they call "Tiddly Oggies" The pastry is thin and the filling is far more than a frozen pie or the favourite FourNTwenty. As a kid, Nana would buy from Fergies. In 1976 my girlfriend's family loved Plaire. Later the bakehouses combined and we got on with making babies..

    Ahh the method of genius here GregO and you've been listening - so much better than 20-25 in the air on a restrictive timeframe IMO but doesn't appear to have improved on the method of normality!!! A refreshing healthy meal in 8 mins innit. These were a fortnightly addition in the Aldi shop but this week the mini me requested we try the 'Classic' in this range which is a bit cheaper but reducing the eyeball and anus star rating down from 3 stars to 2.5 so it'll be interesting to see how they deliver. Might have to try the generic Coles one you recommenda but will see how the bargain basement Aldi ones go... Cheers Gibbo

    The Aldi pies with the potato on top are the ones to get they are good, however when I had the aldi chunky beef pies they had ground up bits of bone in the meat....bloody awful a complete opposite compared to the potato pies!
