Savvy Australian home cooks have revealed how they're now using Kmart's $29 pie maker to make cob loaf pies - with a twist.
Their variations on the winter time treat are cooked using the gadget but tasty fillings are being prepared using French onion soup dip.
Traditionally a cob loaf pie is made from a cob loaf bread roll that's been hollowed out and filled with a tomato, cheese layer and refilled with a mince/gravy filling.
However, one version of the pie that's earning scores of fans on Facebook is a 'spinach cob dip pie'.

'Spinach "cob loaf" pies (substitute the cob loaf for the pie pastry)... you can thank me later,' wrote a woman alongside photos of her delectable creations.
She said the parcels were easy to make and used just a few household ingredients.
'250g frozen spinach parcels (thawed and liquid squeezed out), 2x packets French onion soup mix, 1 tub 300mL sour cream and shredded cheese. Mix all of it together!'

After making the mixture, the woman said she spooned onto pre-cut puff pastry rounds and sealed with a pastry lid.
Then she baked the pies until golden brown. While cooking times can vary, it is suggested between four to six minutes.
The woman's clever hack has earned her hundreds of likes on Facebook as well as scores of people commenting on how keen they were to try making the treat.
'Yes! They look awesome! I would put an egg in to bind them together!' Said one.
