How do you cook a Frey Bentos Steak and Kidney Pie without an oven? Bought one for a caravan holiday next week but only have hob, microwave and portable halogen oven. Any ideas please.

best stick to beans.
I would think its the halogen oven. You can`t do it on a hob because it needs to be browned. You can`t do it in a microwave because it is in a metal tin. that`ll be the oven then.
Think youre snookered unless the halogen takes metal.I only heard about them today on This Morning -i am so out the loop :)
Theyre handy to have as well -£1 out semi-chems up here -always have some in the cupboard.

Yes they are £1 here in Nettos. Great shelf standby.
I never, never eat pastry but for some reason I love Frey Bentos steak and kidney pie in a tin. I love it with boiled potatos and green veg. A bit of extra gravy doesn`t go amiss either. Maybe it takes me back to my youth.

Might try taking it out of tin andputting in pyrex dish in halogen oven, pie only £1 from Lidl so nothing lost if it's a disaster.
try a different brand
The people in this review seem to think it cooks Fray bentos pies fine and there is no reason why you can't put metal in a halogen oven.

To quote the review

"Pies also cook very well. A Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pie recommended for 25 - 30 mins cooking is ready after 20 mins."

(I've not had a fray bentos Jake and Sidney pie for ages!)
Well all I can say Chuck is that you must be due one!

Thanks Chuckfickens for really helpful answer, I read the reviews and will have a go. Had the oven for 3 months and only used it twice so must persevere.
I thought it as Kate and Sidney.

Who on earth is Jake?

Don't tell me Sidney has come out.
I know it as Kate & Sidney however, a friend of mine has snake & pygmy!
I used to adore them years ago. Bought a couple recently as they were on special offer and was very disappointed. Not as much meat in them as there used to be, and nowhere near as tasty.
I have a halogen oven, there is no reason it should not be cooked in one. Remove lid fron the pie tin, pop in halogen, select cooking temp approx 10-15 degrees less than stated on tin, and cook for about a third lesss time than stated, or until its done and enjoy xx
