Prepared raw meat and other ingredients are mixed and cooked in cooking vessel (12) to form a pie filling mixture. The cooked mixture is delivered into containers, which are half filled with the mixture first and then are topped up with mixture. The containers are rapidly cooled to approximately 5 DEG C. Each container can be delivered to a pie forming station (20). A pie base dough is prepared by mixing ingredients and scrap dough and formed into dough buns. Each dough bun is placed in a pie tray at station (20) and pressed by a former to form a pie base. Pie filling mixture is deposited in each pie base. Cover dough for the pies is formed from a layered dough sheet. Each pie cover is perforated before placing over a filled pie base. Unwanted material is removed from the pies by air jet and they are sprayed with a glazing liquid. <IMAGE> |
