For all you wonderful people ordering our pies here is a bit of information:
Instructions for cold pies and pastys

Thank you for choosing one of our savory pies. We suggest eating your pie within 2 days or putting it in the freezer for enjoyment at a later date. If you choose to put your pies in the freezer, we suggest wrapping the pie in aluminum foil and labeling the bottom of the type of pie and the date you froze your pie. Or, you can play the game we play at our house, we don’t label the bottom with the type of pie and instead have mystery pie dinners! We all know the pies are delicious and what a fun way of letting the universe decide your dinner. When you get to cut into your pie you not only get the surprise of the inside but also the deliciousness of the pie.
Here are our suggestions for reheating – Remembering that your pie is fully cooked and that your intent is just to reheat. Don’t use a microwave to reheat your pie, unless you are in a really big hurry. You will only need to put your pie in the microwave for about 2 and ½ minutes. Fair warning, the pie crust will be a bit soggy but still quite delicious. Toaster ovens are a suggested way of reheating

Refrigerated Pies:
Preheat oven to 375-400 degrees
Place pie on oven safe pan
Heat pie for approximately 25 – 30 minutes

Frozen Pies:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Unwrap your pie and place the aluminum foil with the pie on top on the center rack
Heat pie for approximately 45 minutes
(for quicker heat time, put pie in the microwave for 2 minutes then back on the aluminum foil and the oven for approx 35 minutes)

These directions are approximations, your oven is a little different than my oven. Use your best judgement. Always keep an eye on your pies so they don’t over cook. Another suggestion would be to cut your pie in half while reheating. As always, it is our pleasure to create savory pies for you. Please let us know your opinion. We are always looking new pie filling ideas. Have a wonderful meal, we will see you soon

Cheers
Lee and Tracie Tomlin
