One recipe I tried gave me four hours worth of cooking (bad, because the recipe amounts are unknowable as mentioned) mini pies

I almost felt like I had gotten a separately purchased book of recipes because of the high quality pictures on every page and the significant number of great recipes and tips on how to use this

The recipes that I have tried so far have worked well and tasted great

The recipes it comes with are great, and its also very easy to adapt the recipes to whatever the kids dream up.

I got one because my daughter loved the pies

I still gave this (4) stars because the little pies, donuts and fish pastries are pretty good.

I am a bit of a kitchen gadget junkie, and really wanted this particularly for the cute little pie shapes as well as for the traditional Japanese Taiyaki fish shape

The pie plates have the deep dish part on one plate and a cover crust type plate on the top- making for a cute mini pie if you top it with pie crust dough before pressing (you can also just use the bottom crust for an open faced tart)

It’s a nice small size and the different plates switch out easily

The taiyaki mold is a decent size, but the donut and mini pie molds are stupidly small

Works wonderfully and the pies are just the right size for a nice taste treat.

Not as good as friend donuts in my opinion, but they are good

The tiny donuts and mini pie trays are NOT good to try to put filling in.

All that being said it worked and the kids enjoyed the donuts

As my 5 year old daughter said, "These don't look like the size of donuts on the box."As you can see by the picture the donuts are mini and you happen to lose batter on the sides as it isn't a clean seal.

Finally I had an almost perfect fish shape.

The other shapes and the fact that you can interchange them are pretty neat

The plates are really easy to change out too so who knows what other filled pastries we'll try next?!

The filling has to be thick, so it will fill up the top plate

It’s a nice small size and the different plates switch out easily

This ensured that the imprint on the top plate is fully coated in batter, and therefore you don’t have any gaps

This machine offers great flexibility with the three different style plates, the various plates are very non stick and easy to switch

Also, and this was a turn off for me, but the machine smells like burning plastic when it is on

The machine is easy to clean and does not take up a lot to space to store

My daughter LOVES this

This is a cool little gadget you can use to make small batches of deserts without having to turn on the oven and heat up the house

Overall, I do think this is a fun little gadget to fiddle around with, and make fun treats with

Taiyaki fish waffle filled with sweet red bean paste, and I was in heaven, and wanted to have it more frequently at home

My family and I are fans of Taiyaki (the fish shaped pastry with filling -usually sweet red bean or custard types-

I wanted to find an easier way to make baked donuts.

This mini-maker has been the best way to combine lessons we have run across

If you’re using a filling, add just enough batter to fill in those nooks and crannies, add your filling, and pour the rest overtop

I had enough batter to make 10 Taiyaki, but easily enough custard cream to make 20 or more

but, well its reallllyyyy mini dessert size result isn’t worth wasting more ingredients at all right now....however, one day i am going to try the fishy plates out once i figure out a better keto batter that won’t result in a horrible experience
