Insert the pie in to the refrigerator and thaw for eight hours. Remove and unwrap the meat pie, discard the wrappings, before baking.
Place the pie on the baking tray. This aids in conducting heat evenly throughout the bottom.
Preheat the oven to 204 degrees Celsius.
Insert the pie in to the oven and cook for five minutes. Reduce the oven's heat to 177 degrees Celsius.
Cook the meat for another 10 minutes, or until the middle is warmed.
TIP
If your oven is causing the edges of the pastry to burn, cover them with a strip of tinfoil.
WARNING
Store meat pies in the freezer for only two to four months. Do not attempt to reheat the pie in the microwave as this causes the pastry to become soggy.
