No fuss onion chopping, is bang on Rik. Good job.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks, Kate, the only way that ordinary folks use. Best, Rik

[@martyalcorn8990]

That looks scrumptious. Just note 'ketchup' is not Aussie it's American. We have 'tomato sauce' probably the same thing, but I hate the way we are being americanized. All the best you do good stuff

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@fayemurphy7638]

Tomato sauce for this Aussie as well! 👍💜🇦🇺

[@grannyannie2948]

Definitely tomato sauce. I don't know if the potatoes inside the pie is Australian either, I've never seen one, though they do it in England.

[@donnayoung5565]

Thanks Rik. Awesome. Western Australia

[@BackyardChef]

Hey, Donna, cheers me, dears. Eh, I'm from Yorkshire, and I haven't stepped foot in Aus since 1995, but this is one of my all-time favourite pies, which ever way you have it up. I love it! Best, Rik

[@ABJILL033]

[@kathjacquier6635]

I love all of your videos they make me so hungry. Especially the pie ones. Where do the ingredients live? How much shorting and butter for the pastry?

[@BackyardChef]

All in the description. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@allenbrown8158]

My sort of grub that Rik, so im making that at the weekend, so got to get that vegemite never used that before. nice one, i always have tomato sauce with a pie.

[@maribelclassen990]

I just found your channel. It is amazing and you have beautiful recipes well prepared. Congratulations 🎉

[@diane9501]

Wow Rik you smashed it again My hubby just watched this video with me and now wants me to make these pies. I love making pies so this is a definite yes on my future pie baking list My hubby always puts ketchup on his pie & peas so nice to see it's not just us brits who do it Thanks Rik for another great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, Diane, It is Nice and easy wether you turn the pie over or serve it the right way up with peas. Best, Rik

[@PeterAntcliff-e7n]

Great Recipe! I enjoyed your video! Just wanted to let you know that Ketchup is actually American, down under we just call it Tomato Sauce or the slang being *Dead Horse*

[@douglasthomson8022]

First read about these in a Sir Terry Pratchett Discworld novel. He was actually describing a real thing!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

Looks delicious

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

Looks absolutely beautiful and so delicious. I would make it from scratch JUST like you do. The best! Thank you. Wonderful. I ALWAYS use a milk wash. I HATE egg wash becuase I can always taste this stale egg flavor that definitely takes away from the pastry/pie crust flavor after it is baked. So I am happy you did the milk wash. Oh and NO NO NO ketchup!! Yikes

[@phillloyd5233]

OMG! These are superb! Bought 4 of the smaller tins, which are plenty big enough for us. The ingredients, as shown, made 5 pies in total. They are brilliant pies! Well impressed 👏 👌

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@kirsiselei8703]

Oh, nice❤. I have to check that mushy peas recipe👍 In Finland we make pea soup from dried peas, onions, smoked pigribs and mustard

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! that sounds like recipe I want to try. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik

[@lorijaneperdew4543]

I’m sure it tastes good! I’m always willing to try almost anything once! 😊

Gosh, this is new to me. Awesome Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PeterEmery]

Damned hard to find marrowfat peas in Australia. Love me a good pie floater.

[@BackyardChef]

There is a recipe on here - the only alternative way to make mushy peas if you do not have marrowfat. Using green split peas and they are very acceptable - not the same as marrowfat. But hey anything that is really close. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PeterEmery]

@@BackyardChef KZbin actually found that one for me, most interesting. Thanks.

[@mabelregimal5407]

I like the way you tell people how to dice the onion and other things. I don't teach much any more but when I did, I told my staff the same thing. You do a lot of things the way I do.

[@BackyardChef]

Old school ways! I reckon and practical. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@michaelbratton3319]

That looked banging again?I can definitely tell you've been in the catering game for many moons!from a drooling BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧 😋

Hey, Mick, yes, I cooked a couple of meals along the way. I can honestly say when I had edited the video my mouth was watering when watching it back. Best, Rik

I like mushy peas...never had anyone tell me about mint sauce....

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@sgtmark8844]

Wow Rik that looks really good , my problem is finding dried morrowfat peas in the states. Amazon has them but you need to rob a bank to pay for them. Do you think extra thick split pea soup would work as a substitute for mushy peas? Regards

[@BackyardChef]

Hey, mate. I have a video on the channel about a year ago and its the only alternative way to make mushy peas without marrowfat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqmug6hudthki7c Now if you want more sauce, runny add more fluid. Have a look, you should be OK. Those peas are from the States too! Best, Rik

[@sgtmark8844]

@@BackyardChef Perfect 👍. I saw several woks on the top shelf behind you and haven’t noticed you making any Chienglish stir fry dishes. 🙃

Hi Sandra, have a look here amzn.to/3QJCY0R. There is many from 4 inch to 8 inch. Have a look and see. Best, Rik

[@andrewsmith4701]

Pies look great… but I have a question about the oven I’ve seen your review and it’s the best one I’ve seen. If you wanted to use it as a regular oven would you use it on the toast setting and alter the time and temp as required?

[@BackyardChef]

Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@mapes12]

Hi Rik. What make is the chopping knife you're using please?

[@katepolloway5314]

I'd like to know the make of the knife too. I think Rik mentioned it once. I can't remember.

[@BackyardChef]

Hi, Mate. For onions, I use very cheap, thin-bladed knives. The make is by a company called Penguin. Not a quality, expensive one. After years of cooking, I find the thin blade cut through the onions and release. The expensive chef knives, the onions cling to the knife. Now, it doesn't matter if you are only cutting slicing one onion; however, if you are slicing 70 kilos quick, the thin bladed cheap knives are better.

[@fayemurphy7638]

Vegemite is also salty, years ago I would put a tablespoon in boiling water in a mug, yum. Poor mans soup😂 Now Vegemite costs over $5 for a small jar. But I have to have it for toast etc. BTW, I'm a smearer, not too thick 😂👍🇦🇺

[@BackyardChef]

I love it on toast - I had it last night on crackers with some cheese. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@roypritchard8048]

Can you use Marmite in place of Vegemite Rick?

[@BackyardChef]

Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Duchess_of_Cadishead]

Interestingly, I have been in Australia almost 60 years; have spent time in all states, and have never seen a proper meat and potato pie. “Meat and potato pies” are generally shepherds pies.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. Love shepherds pie. Best, Rik

[@kimkayoda7454]

Lol! I always thought that slicing that onion sideways was time-consuming and dangerous I've always cut my onion dice just like how you do. Now in Australia did they ever make this with kangaroo?

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PamelaTeasdale-d4t]

What lovely pie thanks LOOKS LUSH NEARLY AS GOOD AS YOU ❌

[@BackyardChef]

Wow, thank you. Best, Rik

Not ketchup, in Australia we call it Tomato Sauce. And I'm a 100% blooded Aussie.

Yes. Do you like to use that as an ingredient? @@leighDrusllalyle2304

[@leighDrusllalyle2304]

@@BackyardChef I do, actually. Especially when I run out of beef bouillon cubes (I have beef bone broth powder now which I use mainly but occasionally I still fall back on Bovril

Thank you for sharing. Bovril is a fantastic Ingredient. Best, Rik@@leighDrusllalyle2304

[@angiedeans6410]

Us Aussies know how to make a good meatpie, but a meat and potato pie is usually a Shepard's pie. Not potatoes in the meat pie. But either way for me is good.

[@BackyardChef]

Ta very muchly. Best, Rik

[@grannyannie2948]

I have not been able to get blue boilers to make mushy peas from Woolies for years now. Can you still get them from your shops.

[@angiedeans6410]

Katoomba blue peas at woolworths online

[@Mav_F]

​@grannyannie2948 You can still use dried peas even if they are marrowfat peas or split peas.

[@Mav_F]

Today, you can use any pie you fancy. Yes, beef pies are traditional, and no potato in it.

[@andrewmitchell8859]

Should have been Brown sauce

[@ralphrowlands3902]

Hi Rik. Sorry your wooden spatula packed in, bummer. But pleased to hear you say be careful, you don’t want to scratch the pan. I get so annoyed when you see chefs like Jamie Oliver , James Martin et Al, using non stick pans and scratching the hell out off them with metal utensils. Even copper pans, tin lined, no difference, let’s just scratch them to bits. They either have no sense or too much money. And how often do you see them and the pans all look new. Does my head in.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BobJacobs-bh2yz]

I have watched it twice you dont say what the meat is , it looks like ground beef ??
