I just bought the bella mini pie maker and I am having an issue with the lids overcooking before the rest of the pies cook, what am I doing wrong?

Some pies have more moisture in the bottom crust, they will take a bit longer to cook. Do as M said, and leave the top open for a few minutes.

just leave the top open until the bottom is almost finished, or delay closing it for a few minutes.

Cover maybe not on fully or gasket not fitting well/dirty/wearing out. Steam off valve: Too full of food vs once it reaches the pressure needed (the little button pops up), turn the heat down until steam is still coming out but not shooting out, that is cooking temperature.

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I've seen that occur, but by the time it starts the bake cycle, there's no indication of leftover bits in the corners. It doesn't happen all the time with mine, either.

I think you might have a defective unit. I really don't do much to clean mine and there is very little smoke unless it's the type of pizza thatyou are cooking. My pizzas are pretty plain gf with not a lot on them. I'm sorry that I can't tell you more. (too much oil maybe?

I have the same problem. My husband noticed that the bottom pan is not round and leaves a gap and the water escapes from the sides and spills all over the stove top and none gets to the berries. So (don't ask me how I figured it out) I stuck a fork in the side of the colander potion which allows the steam to enter the berry holder portion. The second time I had to stick two forks in the side of it. Go figure, I think we should send them back as they are defective. I bought one for my daughter and thank goodness her's works.

Yes, unfortunately I have noticed the same thing. I've never had lids get this hot and I have a variety of pans like Anolon, Wolfgang Puck, and Calphalon. I was rather surprised myself.

No. I have used the lids and have not experienced this as a problem. The pans are awesome, I love them!

Hi Anne,Thanks for your reply - I checked the yogurt maker and it seems to be over heating - that would explain things!

my only advice is to spray the pans mine stuck after the first use now they are ok with sprayhope this helps maybe you can ans something for me I use a cookie scoop to fill the fan but you can only get it on one side of the pan so I have to use my finger to spread it around have any ideas on that on

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

I had the same problem. Here's what I did to fix it. After you fill it up, while the dish is filling, loosen the top cap for a second then tighten it up pretty tight. I think this causes a vacuum and it works like it should. Hope this works for you!

Mine did the same thing. Looks like they have a design flaw. I went with Cuisinart.

You are suppose to Cook at not higher than 500 dgrees with the sheet. So it could be the problem. Retry it againat this temp. Hope this is helpful Edmonde

that has not happened here with mine. Every item has come out perfect. I'm thinking you have a defective one that does not heat up enough.Oh Dear, now that is a hassle.

It sounds like a defective cooker. Apparently the temperature sensor inside the unit does not know what is going on.I would try contacting the manufacturer.
