Do you heat your mice pies?

DH thinks I'm a total weirdo for eating mince pies cold out of the packet.

He has to faff around with the oven to heat his every time,

How do you eat yours?

Mice 😊
Microwave for ten seconds! Remove foil first Xmas Smile

Imissmoominmama · 23/12/2021 22:20

Air fryer on bake for about 4 minutes. Yum!

inheritancetrack · 23/12/2021 22:27

Gosh I really fancy a mince pie now!

Bluntness100 · 23/12/2021 22:28

Just warm in the microwave for about thirty seconds and they are good to go,

Bananalanacake · 23/12/2021 22:29

I would if I could buy them in GermanySad

nordica · 23/12/2021 22:35

Not after reading years ago about them catching fire in the microwave 😅 I don't know if that's a real issue though.

@HermioneWeasley

Of course I heat them up, I’m not a fucking peasant.
This! It takes seconds in the microwave and they taste so much better!
lisaandalan · 23/12/2021 22:42

I eat them either way, but if I want cream on them I warm them but only In the microwave. X

AlwaysLatte · 23/12/2021 22:43

Warm! But my husband eats them at all temperatures

FrustratedTeddyLamp · 23/12/2021 22:55

Straight out the pack, had one heated for the first time after seeing santa and it was soooo sweet, too sweet

StillMedusa · 23/12/2021 23:09

Oh yes, and smothered in Ambrosia Custard!
*in our house they are known as MINGE pies, thanks to DS1 graffiti-ing the box a few years ago Grin

Cold with cream

DH hot 45 seconds in microwave with cream or hot custard.

NinaDefoe · 23/12/2021 23:14

Cold! Straight out of the packet!
I hate warm mince pies- even with custard.

milkysmum · 23/12/2021 23:16

20 seconds in the microwave here

Estara · 23/12/2021 23:20

If my nanna had visitors coming she would put her mince pies on the storage heater to warm through. She would never serve a cold mince pie.

Pinkbrush · 23/12/2021 23:27

Never cold. Always goes in the oven for 10-15mins. Unbeatable!

Cherrytart23 · 23/12/2021 23:29

I have never tried a warm mince pie maybe that's why am not fussed on them will have to try a warm 1 tomorrow.

CheshireChat · 23/12/2021 23:30

Ooh, I didn't realise they could be eaten warm (foreigner), I'll try them.

RagzReturnedUnwrapped · 23/12/2021 23:30

I microwave them, but yeah YABU. DH eats them cold, as do DS1 and DS2. DD heats hers.
Only mince pies I can eat cold are my own home made ones, shop bought ones are grim cold.

I have an air fryer, why haven't I done this! In the foil or out?
Heartofglass12345 · 23/12/2021 23:49

Yes I eat them straight out of the fridge, but I do like them warm with brandy butter. Mmmm

MatildaIThink · 23/12/2021 23:50

Out of the packet, but they are nice with hot custard poured on top of them.

violetbunny · 24/12/2021 07:00

Rat pies are so much better

Suzi888 · 24/12/2021 07:02

Microwave and brandy sauce Xmas Smile
