Why do australians eat meat pies?

It is not known how the popularity of the meat pie in Australia originated. However, the first significant mention of meat pies was in the Melbourne newspaper, the "Argus", in 1850, when it was noted that the local Councillors preferred to purchase a meat pie from the nearby pub than to dine at Council Chambers. The popularity of the Australian meat pie could also be attributed to when baker L.T. McLure started baking his now famous of "Four'n'twenty" pies in Bendigo, in 1847. The pies quickly became popular, and production increased from 50 pies a day to over 50,000 an hour. The meat pie is easily handled, which makes it popular at sporting events, and as we know, many Australians love their sports. It should be noted that meat pies are still very popular in the UK as well.

How long does it take to cool a pie?

The length of time it takes to cool a freshly-baked pie depends on the size of the pie and the temperature of the kitchen, or the room where you're cooling the pie.

Cooling a pie in the refrigerator might be necessary if the day is hot and humid, but otherwise put the pie, in its dish, on a cake-rack placed over the sink. This allows good airflow and kitchen sinks are normally placed near windows. Open the windows in your kitchen and, if you don't have insect screens, put a net dome over the pie.

Depending on the type of pie you might need to remove it from the dish when it's cooled slightly, and return it to the rack until it's reached the desired temperature.

If you simply want to cool the pie to a temperature comfortable for eating you might need to leave it for ten or twenty minutes. If you want it fully cold, refrigerate it as soon as it's no longer hot to the touch; it might need fifteen minutes to half an hour to become cold.

How did mincemeat get its name?

Mincemeat was originally a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, created as an alternative to smoking or drying for preservation, a variant form of sausage. Mincemeat containing actual meat has become less common over the years. The customary form today typically consists of raisins, spices, grated apple, and animal suet, though many commercial varieties use hard vegetable fat instead, making it completely vegetarian. Mincemeat may also contain currants, candied fruits, and brandy, rum or other liquor. This mixture can be made at home, but is also available either canned or bottled. The most common use is in the Christmas mince pie or mincemeat tart, but there are many kinds of pastry containing mincemeat. See also fruitmince. The first mincemeat factory was in Port Byron, New York, using a recipe patented by Dr. Julius Allen. His patent was voided in 1895.

What makes custard pies crack when cooling?

the temperature drops causing a drying effect which cracks the top . try a spray bottle of water to use . spray a fine mist of water on the top after you get it out of the over and spray it again after five minutes and again after ten minutes. don't spray too much , if you spray it till the water forms drops , or starts rolling, that's too much. just fine water mist. that should help. if the pie cools too fast that can cause the cracking or movement.

  • it doesn't crack because it dried out. It cracks because it swells in the oven and then shrinks when it cools. If it cools too fast it will shrink too fast leaving a crack down the middle. This can also happen if you over-bake. Don't cool the pie in a cold or drafy room and remove the pie just before the center is done, the residual heat in the pie will finish the baking. You could cover with a towel after taking the pie from the oven until the pie is closer to room temp if you find your pies continue to crack.

cooling it to fast or over mixing it

over cooking is a common cause of cracking in pies and cheesecakes that are pudding like. do not over cook as it will continue to cook after taking out of oven. what looks to be not cooked most times is done. The center should still be wiggly.

Don't stress about it. It's only a pie. Cut it into wedges and serve with lots of fresh, unflavoured cream, and nobody will ever know the difference.

...

cooling too fast, spraying with water, overmixing...are all wrong. the is simple. it is a baked custard that got overcooked. sure, you can cover that up by cooling it gently or wetting it (gross), but it will still have a bad consistency at the end...more like scrambled eggs than a smooth custard. i'd say to cut 15 minutes off your cooking time, or do the "custard test"...stab it with a knife in the center and quickly remove it. then touch the knife to your lip. it should be very hot on your lip, and the hole from it should vanish when you remove the knife. if the hole remains, it is overcooked. it the knife doesn't strike you as very hot, it isn't ready yet. after a few tries, this method will allow you to cook any sort of baked custard perfectly, every time.
