Thanksgiving will look a bit different this year (if you’re being considerate). Many cities, along with the CDC, have recommended staying put and celebrating with the people you live with. That means no large gatherings, no close-knit turkey carving sessions, and definitely no sharing of dips. While it’s disappointing, by following these guidelines, we can help reduce COVID-19 cases, keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, and save lives.
However, just because Thanksgiving isn’t what we’re accustomed to doesn’t mean it’s ruined. You can still create a delightful mini Thanksgiving experience, indulging in all your favorite baked goods without the worry of excess food. How? Enter the Dash Mini Pie Maker!
Available in festive red: Dash Mini Pie Maker (Red) and a charming aqua: Dash Mini Pie Maker (Aqua), this appliance is perfect for making individual-sized pies. If you’re a fan of their mini waffle maker (I have two, no big deal), you’ll appreciate how Dash specializes in miniature delights. There’s something undeniably delicious about smaller versions of treats—ever wonder why fun-sized candy bars taste better? It’s all about the size!
“Is this… for toddlers?” my 74-year-old neighbor, Max, quipped when he spotted my mini pie maker recently (he’s retired and I work from home, so our visits are safe). You might also get jokes reminiscent of Zoolander questioning if it’s a school for ants. But you’ll have the last laugh when you serve individual pies to your guests this Thanksgiving (and other occasions), as everyone gets their own little treat. Plus, the Dash appliance allows you to whip up a variety of pies in no time—whether you prefer store-bought dough or want to make it from scratch. (Smitten Kitchen’s flaky, buttery pie crust is my go-to, if you’re curious).
How It Works
Here’s how it works: This pie maker produces 4-inch pies, whether sweet or savory. Simply wait for it to heat up (the red light will blink when ready), place your bottom crust, add your filling, cover it with the top crust (or create a lattice design), close the appliance, and in about five minutes, you’ll have a mini pie—what my neighbor affectionately calls a “baby pie.” Baby pies for everyone!
Check out the Dash Mini Pie Maker (Red) for $25.99 or the Dash Mini Pie Maker (Aqua) for $24.97.
