Steak pie…cook in foil tray or not?

[OldYork]

Erm…just that really…bought premade steak oie…says remove all external packaging….does that include the foil tray it sits in? Will it collapse without the tray? Ta!

Cook in foil tray

I'd cook in foil tray. It might be a lid only pie!!

Foil tray will be fine so long as not microwaving x

You cook it in the foil tray. External packaging means the box and plastic wrapper

Keep foil tray. It just means remove the cardboard box and any cellophane if used.

Bravo!!! Thank you….I thought that but then started to doubt myself!

I bought a pie in M&S the other day (The bistro range, steak pie, with chips on top of it instead of a pastry lid. It was lush.) Instructions were to remove everything, including the foil dish.

See I think I’ve had similar for M&S and this is what made me doubt it. No M&S today though! Generic steak pie 😂

I find if I remove the foil tray I get a crisper pie - no soggy bottoms! However there is a risk of it collapsing...

My sister calls these lie pies.
