Nope, as long as the pastry is sealed you don't need a container. If you go to Bobs tripe stall he sells some meat and IIRC apple puddings 'sans tin'

I've also been to a restaurant that served homemade steak puds without teh tin but my memory lets me down for now......

ETA - rememered, its teh upstairs cafe in Blackburn market

Kate, My gran used to make them like that too......steak pudding done in a 'rag'.......was more like a rolly poly.......and they were delicious.

She also used to do them in enamel basins and these also had a muslin(or rag) tied around the top......useful for lifting out the hot puds.

Thanks Margaret .. just couldn't understand how you could get the traditional pie shape. Looked at my mum's book where she did recipe's for me .. did in a basin though, but just with greaseproof paper or a cloth on top. Suppose can put anything there, as long as the water doesn't get in.

She recommended 5 hours steaming time (shoulder steak plus kidney .. yummee). Mind you, suppose was one large one for family of four, 1/2 lb shoulder steak and 2 oz. kidney, what you reckon ?

Mmmm ... can almost smell it ... however, gotta' make my dinner now and my small pizza and salad fades into junk against this.

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings

Oh, I don't know what recipes she used.......The roly poly type one was used when there wasn't much money for meat.....it obvously took less meat as a filling.....much more suet pastry, but I remember liking that one the best.

I made a large Cumberland pie for our tea.....that is just a Cottage pie with delusions of grandeur.......cheddar cheese grated on top and browned until crisp and crusty......himself had his with garden peas and beetroot.......I had mine with coleslaw.
Yeah, I know it sounds disgusting but don't knock it 'til you have tried it........the plates were scraped clean and so was the large dish it was cooked in.

Suppose if you did a costing, would cost you much more to do your own, mainly due to the cooking time.
