The oven pie looked the best, hopefully there will be instructions on all packaging for airfryers soon so we have a better idea on cooking times. Good experiment Gareth !
My dad had a English cafe' serving English food to workmen. It was phenomenally successful back in the 60s and 70s. His secret was he used fresh everything and in quantity and made his own pies to a very high standard filling them with meat and gravy. He had a special machine that looked like a 1950s space rocket with lots of shelves where he placed the pies to cooking. I remember he charged 11p for a cup of tea which is about 40p today.
The oven one was definitely the best, but the air fryer one wasn't bad. I think it's like other people have said about turning them over so the underside gets cooked.
It’s the science Gareth, the science! I love these experiments and watching to see how they turn out. I’ve never had Holland’s pies before and they look really good and full, I also love steak and kidney pies, however; it’s been years since I have had one. Another invaluable review pal, totally first class. Thank you.
cheers John, very kind mate, try one see what you think. Cheap and cheerful they are. I must admit im sure they were much better years ago. All the best.
I always cook pies and sausage rolls in the oven, but I use a mini oven instead of the main oven. It heats up far quicker and uses less electricity in total.
@@jennigee51I got a small ninja air fryer and it's not bad. Cooks things way faster than a normal oven or a countertop one and gets at least as good results or better. Only thing that's faster is a microwave but it's only good to pre thaw in my opinion so the air fryer finishes it off really quick
Hi Gareth, just a note. If your microwave is of less wattage than instructed on the packaging, then you would need to increase the time slightly and not decrease it. However, it turned out ok. Happy pies.
I'm from Carlisle and i have to say your videos are a bit of a guilty pleasure. My mum asked what i was watching and i said just some bald guy from Barrow eating pies. Bit weird but class content. Used to play sports tornements down in Barrow with my school.
Hi, Gareth. Just catching up with your reviews. Another interesting review. Everything looked very nice indeed. Keep up the good work from a windy Scotland.
Hello Gareth, I cook pies in my halogen oven on the low rack. I cook my bacon on the high rack, all the fat goes into the bottom of the bowl and it makes my bacon nice and crispy, just how I like it.
I grew up in South Wales, and I loved the way our Italian-run cafés cooked their meat pies - with a special nozzle attached to the coffee machine and the other end stuck into a hole cut in the pie-crust. They'd use the steam to cook the pies "inside-out" for several minutes, until the filling was piping hot and the pie-case moist and soft. The result was almost like a suet pudding, but without using suet pastry. Delicious!
Thanks Gareth great review mate. I love steak and kidney my favourite pie , never tried Hollands , Don’t do them where I live , Fleur de lys pies and Pukka are the popular brands. Obviously the best way is in the oven . Top tip for doing in microwave, Wrap pie or pastie or slice in kitchen roll cooked on full power fur six minutes, then leave to cool down for at least five minutes, The pastry will be lovely and crispy. Thanks Gareth see you on the next one . 👍
Really enjoy your video’s very informative and entertaining 😂. Just one point to note, your microwave is 800W therefore you should have given the pie longer to cook not less time than an 850 W for 3mins 👍
Can't beat Holland's steak and kidney pies. Had them for as long as I can remember. Tried microwaving, but oven is better. Pie in the middle of a bowl of soup is spot on .
Not had pie and soup for years my old man used to do me that on a Saturday afternoon before we went out when I was a nippa, some memories flooded back when you said that
Eh up Gazza hows tha doin. I've now got to the point where I watch your videos and salivate. I think your trying to persuade me to come back to blighty. Amazing video. In fact it was spot on. If I was your lecky meter I'd be dizzy. Cooking in t'oven n microwave and air fryer. Thank you for all the content you bring. Thas a gudd un mate.
Fantastic review Gareth 👏. I've never had a hollands pie 🥧 that I know . It's Peters pies or clarks pies in Wales I'll have to see if I can get hold of them . Had those 2x spicy noodles lunch time . 🔥 📛 they were flaming spicy .
Such a learning curve, will try the turn over, never thought 😂, wondering if other Ninja user's have gotten used to burnt dinner's I will not give up 🤣🌹🖖
Hi gaz,me and shaz have a strict vegan diet monday to friday..then we eat whatever we fancy at weekends!..usually what u have reviewed in the week!..🤣👍..it keeps our wieght down and keeps us healthy but weekends are so special..gaz and shaz..spot on..👍👍
Gareth always had Holland pie's growing up now so many pie's to choose from they look tasty so enjoy watching your reviews best foodie friendly happy guy, ♥️😋😋😋
Cracking channel Gareth and a great watch 🙂👍Try Holland’s Meat and potato Pie (or Steak and Kidney) with Mulligatawny soup poured over the top or of course half Mushed tinned Marrowfat peas on top …..champion! Or peas and the soup 😋👍 (I’m sure you’ve had similar anyway 🙂)
Hi Gareth hope all's well. Great video again today too 😀 I love steak and kidney pie 😋😋 where we get ours is a farm shop, they make their own there. Always chunks of steak and kidney, no skimping. Those wee pies You cooked looked nicely filled 😋 Hope you enjoyed them while watching the birds 💖 Take care and stay safe 😘xxx
@@BaldFoodieGuy our local one delivered our order during the lock down, they also supply their pies to a butchers nearby, the butcher also in turn does deliveries 🚚 They’re a brilliant butchers, they win awards for their Pork sausages and Vegetable Roll 😋 😋 xx
Hi Gareth, the Ninja cooks more from the top where the fan is. All you need to do is flip the pie over for the last 5-7 minutes of cooking and the bottom will be done as good as the top 👍🏻
We all have our local favourites, im originally from Stoke-on-Trent and Wrights pies are my faves, meat & tatter….and steak & Kidney.💛 tomatoe soup over for a variation 👍🏽
Great video mate thankyou. I think with the rise in energy costs starting to hit everyone. The microwave is probably the cheapest option. All the best cheers Lee
What you can do is do the pie in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, then transfer it to a hot oven for 10 minutes, and that will produce a pie that is not soggy and be like an oven cooked one, cooked in total time 13-14 minutes instead of the full oven time of 30 minutes. That’s half the time of oven cooked only, if you’re desperate to eat and want a quality cooked pie.
Foil in microwaves Haha, I have experience of that. After my mum died and I was home cooking I found that Microwave custard cost twice as much as cardboard cartons of custard so I took a carton home poured half the contents in a dish put a chunk of apple pie on microwaved it and ate it. next day decided to chop up a Banana and some oranges microwaved the rest of the custard in the cardboard carton two minutes later its on fire inside the microwave. The carton was lined with foil! No damage however custard is a good fire extinguisher.
When our children were small I made all of the meals myself as money was tight and meat had to go a long way. Minced beef was economical and great for a lot of things, spaghetti Bolognese, cottage pie, meat pies, chilli etc, the list goes on. Back then we didn't have freezers and our children weren't faddy eaters because the choice was so limited.
I like your comment. Food should be appreciated, savoured and never wasted particualry during these times we are living in which are getting worse. It looks as though you defientley have that in mind like I do. Fair play to you.
Holland’s meat and potato pies out the local chippy after a few pints 🍺 gaz! I liked them out the chippy because the pastry was soft and chewy which I prefer mate! Gunner try the microwave,never thought I would because I’ve always done them in the oven!
Definitely the oven for me with as you said some oven chips but I have got to get an air fryer great review gareth it's just a pitty Holland's don't do just a steak pie as I don't like offal kidney and liver yuk 👍👍🥧🥧
Ur rite Gareth this is cheap easy convenient food I like it and if you ain't got a lot of money and a few bairns to feed nowt wrong pith it with a bit of mash n a few veg
I never put pastry anywhere near the Microwave as it always goes soggy, oven would be my choice mostly, but air frying I use the basket rather than the rack, nice looking pies them 👍
Cracking video again. One day I don't mind pie the next day I can't stand it, oh the joys of post chemo crap 😂 just wondered if you have tried the fray bentos meat pudding, £1.89 at b+m 3 mins microwave,Ray loved it, did look and smell really nice, keep doing what you do enjoy watching, ATB to the wife from Newark 🖖🌹
Never cooked a pie in the microwave, not a lover of soft pastry. I only ever go for an oven pie. This was an interesting watch though and I think the good old oven won on the day. G treat review though!💕🤩👍
Holland's are bring out some new pies next week. They look more gourmet. There's a steak and gravy, also a chicken and gravy. Think they're frozen not sure. They're in black boxes
Great Review Video 📹 BFG ..👍 And Think Like You We Allways Had Pukka Pies 🥧 In The Local Chippys ..But I'm Definitely Going To Give Hollands Pies 🥧 A Proper Go Next Time ⏲ I See Them They Did Look Tasty ....Happy Days 🙂
Your a star. I love your posts especially the comparison ones. I’ve been trying to economise due to the cost of living crisis & im really interested in what can be cooked in the actifry. I’m on my own & my actifry is extreamly basic. I’d be really interested in comparison posts particularly those cooked in the actifry. I shop at Tesco, Aldi & Freeze Factory on the market
Brown sauce not bad but you should really try pie with hendersons relish from Sheffield, it's like Worcester sauce but better Gareth I was brought up on it mate
How Gareth love all your videos and the live nights I am ill at the moment I have inflammatory bowl disorder I wish I could eat a pie right now but now being told I have this I have to watch what I eat please can you give me a shout-out please it would make my day always enjoy every video thanks for everything you do 👍
🏴👏 I love this review I’ve got 2 air fryers a Ninja and a tower. Ninja every time for chips and chicken wings and the tower for my fish , burgers & pies 👏🏴
for the air fryer, i'd suggest, going with the fan temp and lower time, if you can't work it out, for example for those pies i'd have chose 180 for 30 minutes, take 2 minutes off the lower time
Buy yourself a pie maker. You can get one for about £15. You can then make your own pies and use your own ingredients. Check out videos on UA-cam reviewing pie makers. They are quick and simple to use. I wouldn’t eat those pies you show on this video. Also I have read that habitually eating microwaved food can lead to stomach cancer. Thanks for your videos.
Next time your in Llandudno go for a pork pie in the ham bone Deli bakery they are amazing, best I have ever tasted and l worked in a bakery years ago. (they are spot on)
I do in microwave and have plate under grill , don't like cold plates lol ,then I put pastie or pie under grill for few mins after microwave. I'm getting air fryer so I'll start in micro and then Pop in air to crisp up
Hi Gareth. Another great video, but you made a mistake on the microwave time! 3minutes for 850W would be 3m12s for 800W not 2m45s... Not sure if an extra 27s would have made the pastry any less soggy but it might have done? Maybe you can try again with the 4th pie?
You are correct yes it was in for 3 mins in the end, so only a few seconds off the time. Well spotted Graham, i sometimes make a few mistakes. Apologies.
To all readers with lecky going thru the roof no one in there right mind will use a full oven for 30 min for 1 pie . It’s gonna be the microwave at 3/3.5 min An as most have found out chops batt fish bangers pies chips etc in the airF Ovens are for big joints etc . My daughter got 4 A fryers lol so well off an only uses them lol
Interesting experiment as well. Microwave might be more convenient, but is it worth putting the oven on just for a pie ? Probably need to throw some other stuff in there while you were at it.
Finally got some of those Asda plates Gareth. Funny thing, on the Asda website someone has put a comment saying they got those plates because of you. Hope your on commission.
Nice one mate…any chance of doing same with sausages grill,air fry,frying,grilling,oven…because I’ve limited health and standing at cooker turning sausages is a pain,but seem to get the other ways wrong either to much heat or not enough..take care and thanks for the videos,enjoy your honesty and down to earth way.
@@BaldFoodieGuy yeah seen it mate…what I meant what result of doing the various ways above,resulting in the best sausages as taste,to be juicy and which drys it out the most and lest favourable….and thanks do things we can all afford and day to day eating,we all on budget with gas and electric going through the roof.
Well your getting there with Holland’s pies just got to try the steak and kidney puddings from Holland’s 🤦🏻 Do taste good tho , Yummy yummy 😋 Look forward to seeing it Gareth 😂😂

I find microwaved food goes colder quicker. I reheated a xmas lunch i did not finish. The sprouts done in a micro had me in pain, on my hands and knees. No more micro for us. Air fryers every time, a lot quicker.
The oven pie looked the best, hopefully there will be instructions on all packaging for airfryers soon so we have a better idea on cooking times. Good experiment Gareth !
cheers Sandra, hope your well.

Fully agree on the “No TV”... 👍... spent a fortune on a 4K UHD telly and it’s never switched on... so much less stress...
Couldn't agree more Chris.
I always cook pies and sausage rolls in the oven, but I use a mini oven instead of the main oven. It heats up far quicker and uses less electricity in total.
Yes that's been mentioned to get one of them.
An air fryer is basically a mini fan oven, I used to have a mini oven and used it a lot more than my main one, now I have a Ninja Foodi.

Good choice! cheers Diane, hope your well x
@@BaldFoodieGuy all good thank you.. 🥰 hope you’re doing ok 👍🏻 xx

@@BaldFoodieGuy steamed pie it was cooked with the steam from the milk wand on the coffee machine .
Known a cafe that made scrambled eggs with the steam wand
Just reminds me a few weeks ago,my mate said he was constipated?😰

Can't beat Holland's steak and kidney pies. Had them for as long as I can remember. Tried microwaving, but oven is better. Pie in the middle of a bowl of soup is spot on .
Sounds great!
Not had pie and soup for years my old man used to do me that on a Saturday afternoon before we went out when I was a nippa, some memories flooded back when you said that
Nothing stops you microwaving then finishing the pastry in your air fryer. Happy Days.
Cheers George good tip.
I agree Microwave makes the pastry soggy. :(
I do the same for the pot pies, microwave first then finish in oven to crisp
I used to go to Oldham when a kid to visit relations and you’re right,Hollands pies were very popular.
cheers Gary.
I live in Oldham and we had relatives who came down from Newcastle to stay with us and they always took a supply of Hollands pies back with them.
@@joycewatson7473 I also took home Vimto and Bury Black puddings back to Stockton

Try the pukka microwave pies they are amazing Claire 😋😋👍👍
Pooles pie of Wigan were the best till they went bust during lockdown they were the best I ever found
thats a shame pal
What you can do is do the pie in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, then transfer it to a hot oven for 10 minutes, and that will produce a pie that is not soggy and be like an oven cooked one, cooked in total time 13-14 minutes instead of the full oven time of 30 minutes. That’s half the time of oven cooked only, if you’re desperate to eat and want a quality cooked pie.

An air fryer is basically a mini fan oven, I used to have a mini oven and used it a lot more than my main one, now I have a Ninja Foodi.
thanks 😊
@@BaldFoodieGuy sorry, I meant to reply to someone who was talking about a mini oven 🤪🤪 I’m losing the plot!
I liked the bettys hotpot ones..what no hp sauce.gareth.😀🙋♂️..👍👍
yes had it after filmed mate.
for the air fryer, i'd suggest, going with the fan temp and lower time, if you can't work it out, for example for those pies i'd have chose 180 for 30 minutes, take 2 minutes off the lower time
cheers Robert thanks 😊
@@BaldFoodieGuy i should mention i also have the ninja air fryer and this technique has worked for me great and no nursing required
thanks 😊
I always microwave them and then bang them in the air fryer to crisp up the pastry
Hood tip mate. 😋😋👍👍
Buy yourself a pie maker. You can get one for about £15. You can then make your own pies and use your own ingredients. Check out videos on UA-cam reviewing pie makers. They are quick and simple to use. I wouldn’t eat those pies you show on this video. Also I have read that habitually eating microwaved food can lead to stomach cancer. Thanks for your videos.
Also my dad used to drench his pies in that Daddies brown sauce back in the 90s that was all the rage lol
Sag loo in asda lovely just had it Gareth x
thanks 😊
Next time your in Llandudno go for a pork pie in the ham bone Deli bakery they are amazing, best I have ever tasted and l worked in a bakery years ago. (they are spot on)
I do in microwave and have plate under grill , don't like cold plates lol ,then I put pastie or pie under grill for few mins after microwave. I'm getting air fryer so I'll start in micro and then Pop in air to crisp up
Thank you, enjoy the air fryer.
Got to say they our the best Holland pies
Hi Gareth. Another great video, but you made a mistake on the microwave time! 3minutes for 850W would be 3m12s for 800W not 2m45s... Not sure if an extra 27s would have made the pastry any less soggy but it might have done? Maybe you can try again with the 4th pie?
You are correct yes it was in for 3 mins in the end, so only a few seconds off the time. Well spotted Graham, i sometimes make a few mistakes. Apologies.
To all readers with lecky going thru the roof no one in there right mind will use a full oven for 30 min for 1 pie .
It’s gonna be the microwave at 3/3.5 min
An as most have found out chops batt fish bangers pies chips etc in the airF
Ovens are for big joints etc .
My daughter got 4 A fryers lol so well off an only uses them lol
good tip Jim.
Interesting experiment as well. Microwave might be more convenient, but is it worth putting the oven on just for a pie ? Probably need to throw some other stuff in there while you were at it.
Thanks pal
I bought a pack of the Hollands Snake and Pigmy puddings from Tesco, and thought them quite good and tasty.
tasty arnt they David.
Finally got some of those Asda plates Gareth. Funny thing, on the Asda website someone has put a comment saying they got those plates because of you. Hope your on commission.
haha really i didnt know, no im not on commission. Great you got them mate.
Microwave pies are great for Butties!!
Nice one mate…any chance of doing same with sausages grill,air fry,frying,grilling,oven…because I’ve limited health and standing at cooker turning sausages is a pain,but seem to get the other ways wrong either to much heat or not enough..take care and thanks for the videos,enjoy your honesty and down to earth way.
cheers Andrew ive done Air fryer sausages on here be in my pork playlist. Hope all is well.
@@BaldFoodieGuy yeah seen it mate…what I meant what result of doing the various ways above,resulting in the best sausages as taste,to be juicy and which drys it out the most and lest favourable….and thanks do things we can all afford and day to day eating,we all on budget with gas and electric going through the roof.
Yes sorry mate, got you now, yes good idea that. Cheers Andrew.
Boiled sausages are lovely imo. But I like microwaved pies so im a minority
My Pork Play List! Bet a few years ago you'd never have imagined saying these words on UA-cam to thousands of people 😁
I run around outside naked with a microwaved Aldi pie in my hand, try to enjoy every moment :)
haha
Love soggy pastry…
Just hate gravy and wished they were in Vindaloo sauce instead👍😋
Well your getting there with Holland’s pies just got to try the steak and kidney puddings from Holland’s 🤦🏻
Do taste good tho ,
Yummy yummy 😋
Look forward to seeing it Gareth 😂😂
haha thought id nailed it yes the puddings mate. Thanks 😊
That bloody air fryer needs to go on Gumtree as a freebie.
A tip for pies in the Airfryer.
I normally pre heat to 200 and cook at 200 for 18 min
I like mulligatawny soup on my pies, adds a bit of spice, but oxtail is also nice with the steak n kidney
Love the Holland's pies, whole range of them are good .I do prefer them cooked in microwave though .let them sit for 10 mins a pasty does firm up 👍👍
Good tip!
@@BaldFoodieGuy an even after 10 minutes there still to hot to eat 😃
I'm going to try that as my pies come out shite in air fryer
"In an ideal world, we'd all be running around naked eating off the fat of the land"
Priceless!!
I've just watched this episode, I think those things should be kept for the oven, you can't really go wrong
cheers pal, yes definitely 👍

you need a pie maker, then you know whats in the pie. pie maker was our best buy after the air fryer of course
Spot on Wayne.
I find microwaved food goes colder quicker. I reheated a xmas lunch i did not finish. The sprouts done in a micro had me in pain, on my hands and knees. No more micro for us. Air fryers every time, a lot quicker.
cheers Colin, yes soon cools down.
