Indeed -- with pies and $2-3*50, cost becomes an issue. Do you want to
spend $.25 per head on something that's just going to be used once then
thrown away (the pie tins), or can you use that extra $12 for a food item?

Note, though, that when you go with the empanada press, you're trading
money cost with time cost (it takes more time to make the individual
items--and having at least two presses is a really good thing)
