[@jonahlovelace5224]

you, sir, have taught me something today. i didn’t know whether to leave the pie in the paper tray or take it out. quick google search brought me to you! me and my fiancé greatly appreciate you! i hope you’re still around, cuz as @danny said, you’re a national treasure!!

[@b1njjj95]

I foolishly removed the paper tray and instantly regretted doing so when I took the pie out of the microwave. Oh yeah, it was cooked thoroughly alright, but it was also a gruesome mess on the plate. 😅 Never again will I remove the paper tray.

Thank you so much for this video, I'm about to purchase my Dad a toaster oven and he loves pot pies, since my mom passed he doesn't cook, I figured the toaster oven would help him to get started,thanks again 😁🤗

[@JimForeman]

IMHO, the toaster oven is the most useful item in the kitchen except for perhaps one burner on the stove.

[@jokim6781]

Sorry about hearing your mom passed away that's rough hang in there

[@CallmeShadowyn]

Wow, Im glad I am not the only victim to being a rebel and using my toaster oven anyways, but taking the tray off. I am not excited to try this at your exact directions with a peace of mind. TY sir!

[@Jk504.-gv1iv]

Pretty amazing to see so many people going through the same things,I googled if I should take the pie out the paper thing and obviously a few other folks are wondering the same thing lol..like my most favorite saying goes "nothing new under the sun"

[@lolbotomy]

Thank you for making this! The microwave broke and we still had some pot pies not eaten and I was wondering how I was gonna heat em up! You've got a really nice voice by the way, it felt like my grandpa was teaching me something!

[@TheTopsailAngel]

Thank you, kind sir! You did an amazing job! Both my oven and microwave are out of business, so at least I have my toaster oven. They can be tricky, especially with items such as frozen pot pies. Thank you SO much for having the time an patience for making this amazing video! I'm sure my husband will want to thank you, so I'm sending his thanks along, too.

[@diamond-dee]

Thank you, thank you….what a great help you were….4 of 5 were not cooked but the 5th one thanks to you turned out just perfect…..take a bow for helping us this way. I am from Ont Canada, and so thankful to you for making this video.

[@CCKnight]

Have never cooked a pot pie in microwave and only a couple times in an oven but never a toaster oven. The one I bought is bigger so I allowed extra time to bake. The carton it came in was like cardboard. On the box directions it said could microwave or toaster oven cook. I followed your direction and used my thermometer first time. It worked out great. I cooked two pot pies in preheated toaster oven 400 degrees and covered the edges of crust and also an aluminum foil tent like yours for 40 min and took off the aluminum foil and finished cooking the crust for about 5 min. Then used my never been used thermometer. I’ve made pot pies a couple time before and the bottom crust was always raw and it made me think the middle was raw too. So I cut it all up and cooked it more so today I was looking for a better way to cook one using a meat thermometer. That’s how I got directed to your site. I learned a lot. And my pot pies came out great. I let them cool out of the toaster oven. I learned a lot. Thanks so much.

[@debbe9181]

I often wondered that, thanks Jim for letting us know! Hubby likes an occasional pot pie but I hate turning on the big oven, Certainly will try your method.

[@stevekinney7423]

Thanks. That's wonderful. The pies look delicious. I must buy some next time I'm at the supermarket.

[@wisebag02]

Thank you so much for documenting this solution! I too wanted to be able to bake a pot pie in my toaster oven.

[@UBvtuber]

Reminds me of 2009 era KZbin, but genuinely good idea for using aluminum foil to cover the pot pies as if they're lasagna. I looked this up cause my Marie Callender's pot pies said they can't be put in the toaster oven and I definitely don't wanna heat up my big oven for this.

[@robertknight4672]

A lot of toaster oven manufacturers say cooking in a foil pan is fine but they don't recommend lining the bottom of the crumb tray with foil or covering food with foil saying that the toaster oven can get too hot but a lot of people seem to be able to do it without issue.

[@UBvtuber]

@@robertknight4672 never had an issue with using foil in my toaster oven, in fact it makes clean-up WAY easier lol

They looked perfectly cooked. Husband and I love Pot Pies 🥧 😋. Motorcoach travel days are perfect for making them ahead of time and reheating when we stop for a little lunch. One pie each and a side salad 🥗 and we're good for a couple more miles of driving.

[@froggygurl8775]

My oven is broken, so I came to see how to cook in a toaster oven. Thank you, sir!

[@bbpeeker]

I just cooked 2 in my toaster oven for the 1st time! I took them out of the 'cooking pans' and covered a metal pan with foil and put them in naked (lol). I do a lot of toaster oven cooking and have decided temp can not be depended on, so I keep mine set to 'always on' and ''toast' so that my food is being cooked top and bottom at the same time! I just time and check and repeat if necessary. My pies did leak and melt, stuck to bottom just a little, but they were great and this was the 1st time I ever checked temp! Next time I'm gonna bake in the pan they come in to see what happens. It works great for everything else I cook.

[@harrycallahan9733]

I believe pot pies USED to go into the toaster oven, that was why they gave you an aluminum foil bowl instead of the current microwaveable paper/cardboard bowl. The reason now it is not a good idea to use toaster oven, is because toaster oven temperature fluctuate within a much bigger range than the normal oven. So when both set to 400F, the normal oven's temperature may go up and down 50F, but toaster oven could be plus and minus 100F (just to give an example, not actual real world numbers). The paper bowl might catch fire in a toaster oven. So if you can switch out the paper bowl with one of those disposable aluminum foil pans, it'll be the exact same setup as the old days, built for toaster oven.

[@robertknight4672]

Also most of the early toaster ovens and you can still get models like this only had one rack position. Looks like the model here has at least two are rack positions. I have an air fryer toaster oven that has three rack positions and it has a digital control panel I know some people are not a fan of that but have not had an issue with it yet.

Thanks for the comment. I do have some experience behind a microphone during my dark past. I was the weekend voice in a 25 watt station that could be picked up all the way to the city limit signs on a good day and then did the fall by fall broadcast of professional wrestling matches for a couple years.

[@californiasomething]

Thank you for sharing, this helped me out... Pot pie was already in the toaster oven, but I threw some foil over it like you said... You should get your ham radio license! We could use more hams like you!

[@JimForeman]

Thanks; actually, I had a ham license (W5ROU) way back when I was in high school. Built my Xmitter and receiver from Heath Kits.

[@avfavela9968]

Same thing with mine lol. Was already in T.O. then was checking directions and seen recommendations not to use toaster oven. Did what video said and my pot pie turned out great!

[@czgator9000]

Probably needed to preheat first.

[@snakeylps]

Thanks for the instructions!

[@clapoutloudclapoutloud]

Great idea, i eat this same brand pot pie, i like pot pies with some rice under it or I add extra vegetables turns into a pretty nice dinner.

[@robertknight4672]

My guess is some of that instruction is this because in older toaster ovens with a single rack position you're very close to both heating elements. A toaster oven should be able to bake a pie just fine as many brands advertise at the toaster ovens could bake pies back when they came out.

[@Rosey-Eyez]

[@johnwang9914]

It's also like the "don't use the popcorn mode" with microwave popcorn. There are so many varieties of toaster ovens and of microwaves that the food manufacturer can't be certain of how their product will turn out so they just tell you to not do it. As with the popcorn mode, the best thing to do is to give it a try and see if it works with your microwave (the Orville minibags seem to work on popcorn setting 1 for me) I do think the instructions on the packages are poorly written. I'm looking at a frozen chicken pot pie where the instructions say to keep it in it's paper tray with the microwave instructions but with the conventional instructions, it only says to remove the plastic wrapper. So does that mean you don't remove the plastic wrapper with the microwave... Does it mean you don't keep it in the paper tray if you use the conventional oven... The ignition point of paper is 451 Fahrenheit so a paper tray in an oven at 375 Fahrenheit might be reasonable so you can't just discount keeping the pie in the paper tray due to the risk of fire and without the paper tray, will it hold it's form... and since when did they abandon aluminum foil trays for paper trays... As to the microwave instructions not mentioning the wrapper, perforating cling film is common with microwave heating so just perforating the wrapper might be right and some products like microwave popcorn have special paint on their wrappers that heat up in the microwave to provide some crisping so why did they not mention the wrapper at all in the microwave instructions and why did they not mention the paper tray at all with the conventional oven instructions... I guess, this goes back to the just give it a try, you might loose one batch of chicken pot pies but then you'll know what will work for you but this does make me a bit upset at the food manufacturer... The 165 Fahrenheit recommendations is because various government groups and some legislations say that temperature would be safe, would it really be cooked at that temperature or palatable at that temperature, well that's not the concern of those organizations and the frozen pot pie fillings are often pre-cooked before being frozen and the crust might be par baked that is 80% baked before being frozen. Again, poorly written instructions...

I use the toaster oven for all my tv dinners, never had to put foil on the top I put it at 250 degrees & let it cook for around 40 minutes Don't know wtf they would tell us not to use the toaster over

[@rustyneedles3743]

he explains himself why you shouldn't use a toaster over, but hey, if you enjoy overcooked and burnt food, that's all on you, he's managed to use to toaster in a way that won't overcook the tops ! pretty simple really, I'm kinda shocked you still don't understand why they would tell you not to use a toaster oven, sigh

[@LurkerDood]

@@rustyneedles3743 I've been using a toaster oven for over 30 years to cook everything like pizza, tv dinners etc.. & I've never ever had burnt food unless I leave it in for too long I know the times to cook my food & I like my food extra crispy too so It's not like I leave the food in for short periods, most of my frozen food I need it to be in the oven for tops 40 minutes & never ever had burnt food 😆 🤣

[@LurkerDood]

@@rustyneedles3743 Oh yea & I have the toaster over at 325 degrees not 250 Only time I've had burnt food is having the temperature turned on too high & still going by my 325 degree time or having it on boil & leaving food in for too long Other than that I've never had burnt food going by my time & temp & on bake

[@rustyneedles3743]

@@LurkerDood fair enough, I tend to not like the pastry or what ever I'm cooking crispy, that's why I would tend to do as he's done and either wrap or put a guard of of sorts using the foil wrap

I have a toaster oven at work now and I tried a potpie in the microwave and it was horrible. Ended up all gummy and just came out bad. So I tried the toaster oven and 5 min in the crust was already starting to burn on the edges. It finished ok but I had to cut away the edge crust cause it was burnt. So next time I will try the foil tent as that seems to work for you.

Annoying how they are frozen solid in the center after an hour of cooking on broil

[@JimForeman]

That's because a toaster oven set on Broil comes on very hot for a short period of time to sear meat and then turns off. Use the Bake setting for pot pies.
