The look of the metal Mini Muffins Open Pies Cookie Maker's round form resembles an automobile engine part or an old piece of plumbing. The recipe directions that come with it are not user-friendly. That led me on an internet search to try to figure out how to test this product, because I felt like this might be some kind of wonderful kitchen treasure that I’d been missing out on. Even without an Eastern European grandmother to guide me, I ended up having success on my first attempt. I brushed on some avocado oil, winged it regarding how long to cook it and at what stovetop temperature, and my first batch dropped right out with no problem. I decided to see if I could get away with not oiling it up each time, and was able to turn out two more batches that didn’t stick. I haven’t yet tried more than three batches between greasing it. It helps that you can open the lid and peek, even not that long after you’ve started to cook them. I used a sweet-dough recipe, but would like to try a savory one next. If these very tasty little tarts were on your buffet table, your guests might be circling around them like the customers at a certain warehouse store around the food samples, looking like they were raised by wolves. I’m sure there are plenty of electric tart makers out there, but it’s kind of fun to use this type, and it doesn’t take up much kitchen cupboard space, which is always a plus. To me, the asking price seems a bit steep and the metal looks a little 1950’s kitchen material, so do your research before purchasing.

I've attached some photos of the finished tarts. I didn't completely trim them down. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this mold (it does what it says it will do), I am unimpressed with the overall item. Specifically, the lack of coherent instructions.The “recipe” is obviously a hysterically bad translation. It calls or a POUND of flour. That’s 4 cups of flour. Am I catering an event with this recipe? A 1/3 POUND of sugar? Who measures like this? It says to add vegetable oil, but not how much. The ingredient list is presented horribly. There are no other instructions with this item. It doesn’t tell you what temperature to use. It doesn’t tell you how long to cook for. Nothing.Useless. You are on your own.I ended up making my own dough (1 cup flour, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons Truvia brown sugar, teaspoon cinnamon, 1/3 cup 2% milk, 2 tbsp melted butter.) This made 20 tarts.I used non-stick spray between each batch, because “grace the mold with vegetable oil” does not make be confident in the instructions.Non-stick spray worked fine.After placing the dough in the mold, I cooked it for two minutes on each side and then opened to check. The one bright side is you can check it throughout cooking to decide if you need to cook a little longer. It takes some trial and error to get them right. You can see the end result.I ate one unfilled and they taste fine. I’m going to fill mine with chopped apples and nuts tossed in melted butter and brown sugar for dessert tonight. But for the amount of effort involved, I’m really better off just buying tarts from my bakery or supermarket instead of going to the effort with this. If you are someone who enjoys experimenting with stuff like this, have at it. Just seems like too much effort for too little practical gain.
