All About Pies! — Pie Machine

Often we have customers asking us the difference between the machines that we carry.  In the photos in our online store it is hard to tell because the "look" of the machine is the same.  By looking at these pictures and checking the chart below I hope you get a better sense of the differences.  I consider the Standard Pie Machine an entry level machine.  It's great for those starting out a small pie business, for home use or for pocket pies and small pies. In businesses where you are making over 25 pies a day or even hundreds a...

We always enjoy getting feedback from our customers!  This past month we received emails with pictures from a few of our customers.   These beautiful tartlettes shown above are made using our Birds Hill Enterprises'Custom Made Small Pie Press.   They use metal fluted tartlet pans with removable bottoms about 3" - 4" wide.  When we custom made a Small Pie Press we ask that the customer send us a sample of their non-disposable pan/molds or if using disposable we ask that they mail us 3 so we can use them in design and testing of the pie press.  We also ask for...

What a nice way to end 2017!  Just had a lovely phone conversation with Sandy B. who has been a customer of ours for many years.  She has one of the very first "fried pie" or pocket pie dies for her Birds Hill Standard Pie Machine that we ever made.  In fact she reminded me that we only had the prototype made and that was the only one we could send her at that time.  She has been very happy with our products and has made many pies over the years.  An excerpt from her email:  "Hope you and Rob...

One of our long time customers has been using our Professional Pie Machine for baking for Farmers Markets in Alberta Canada.  It is from Gloria that I learnt about Quick Sheets or Poly Deli Sheets (the ones we carry) for use with our machines.  They are superior to plastic wrap as they do not rip easily and are not "sticky".  Watch her video to see how she forms her pies and lids. Her business is "Flying Rabbit Fruit Farm".  Visit her facebook page or web page for more information on her business.  Wishing you all the best Gloria!
