Our ready-to-bake Nigerian meat and chicken pies are simple to prepare, and here are some common questions customers ask about them. If you can’t find your question below feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.
DO I NEED TO BE A BAKER TO BE ABLE TO BAKE THE PIES?
Not at all, our pies are super easy to bake; our packages have easy to follow baking instructions to guide you through. So Let’s just say we turn amateur chefs into pro bakers!
DO I HAVE TO DO ANY PRE-BAKING PREPS?
Other than placing the pie in the oven…not at all! Our pies are already egg washed so you do nothing than to enjoy the yummies when they are done baking.
WHAT ARE THE SIZES OF THE PIES?
Our pies measure 2.5 x 4.5 inches and weigh about 100g/pie.
HOW LONG CAN THE PIES LAST IN THE FREEZER?
Our pies have very long freezer life but for best quality, if properly stored in an airtight container, our pies will maintain their quality for about 3 – 6 months but will remain safe beyond that time.
HOW MANY PIES ARE IN EACH PACK?
We currently offer our meat pies and chicken pies in three convenient packaging sizes:
- Pack of 10 retail-ready pies
- Wholesale boxes containing 30 pies, available in mixed varieties
- Wholesale boxes containing 50 pies, also available in mixed varieties
These options cater to both retail customers and wholesale buyers, ensuring flexibility and choice based on your needs.
DO I HAVE TO THAW THE PIES BEFORE BAKING THEM?
No, do not thaw the pies at any point, just bake from frozen. Thawing before baking the pies might make them soggy.
SINCE THE PIES ARE PRE-MADE, WILL THEY STILL TASTE FRESH?
Our pies are frozen immediately they are made, which locks in the freshness and flavor. Also, since they are pre-baked, you get the freshest pies each time you bake them.
CAN I MICROWAVE THE FROZEN PIES RATHER THAN BAKING IN THE OVEN?
No, our ready-to-bake pie pastry is pre-cooked and so not suitable for microwave cooking
CAN I BAKE IN AN AIRFRYER?
Yes, our pies can be baked in the airfryer, but be sure to use the lowest temperature or bake settings for your specific appliance. Check out our baking instruction tab for more details.
DO I HAVE TO BAKE THE WHOLE PACK AT ONCE?
Each of our pies is individually frozen and packaged, allowing you the flexibility to bake as little or as much as needed each time. This ensures convenience and freshness, allowing you to save the remaining pies for later use.
DO YOUR PIES CONTAIN ANY ADDITIVES OR PRESERVATIVES
Our pies are crafted using only the simplest ingredients and are free from additives. By keeping them frozen, we ensure their freshness is preserved for extended periods. Additionally, our pies are proudly made in Canada, using locally sourced ingredients.
CAN I KEEP THE PACKAGE IN THE FRIDGE?
No, our ready-to-bake pies are designed to be kept frozen until you’re ready to bake them. Once baked, they can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated before serving. However, please note that reheated pies may not retain the same level of freshness and crunchiness as when they are freshly baked, which is central to our innovative concept of ready-to-bake pies.
HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?
Placing an order for our pies is super easy, just click on the ‘SHOP’ button and follow the instructions that pop up.
DO YOU OFFER DELIVERY SERVICE?
Yes, we do. Orders are usually delivered on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday) your order was made on our website, with a flat rate of $10 for local deliveries within Ottawa. Ensure to select the shipping option during the ordering process to avail of this service.
