Product Information

Available in three colors, the retro design plays up the nostalgic feeling of a fresh-baked pie straight out of your grandma’s oven—which is really half the point of a comforting homemade pie in the first place. And if taken care of, it's likely that this pie dish might last generations and actually be someone's grandmother's pie dish one day. NOTE: If you’re making a pie that requires blind-baking the pie crust, such as pumpkin pie or banana cream pie, you’ll crimp or flute the edge of the pie crust and bake it before you add the filling.

The biggest perk of a glass pie plate is being able to see what’s going on with your crust while it’s baking. Even when the top crust seems nicely golden brown, the bottom crust may need a few more minutes to fully cook, especially with juicy fruit filling in an insulated dish. A glass plate like the Pyrex Easy Grab Pie Plate takes the guesswork out of knowing if your crust is fully cooked. We measured the diameter of each pan from the inner edge of the rim and found that the Lindy's pan isn't a true 9-inch pan, but comes close at 8.5 inches. You'll want to keep that in mind when making pies, as you'll probably use slightly less filling than a recipe calls for. It produced a perfectly par-baked shell in less than 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The custard pie that we baked came out smooth and creamy without overcooking, scrambling, or uneven browning. Unfortunately, cutting slices of pie directly in the pan can leave marks on the bottom of the pan, but it doesn't detract from its overall functionality. If you bake pies to give to others or take to events regularly, it might be worth it to buy a handful. They're sturdier and more attractive than disposable pie pans while still being lightweight, but you haven't lost much of an investment if the pan doesn't get returned to you later on.To crimp the edges of the pie, you just need a regular fork. Place your index finger on top of the fork, and press the tines down into the edges of the crust, continuing all the way around the pie crust. It’s that simple!

Fluting the edges means giving it that classic wavy, scalloped look that never goes out of style, just like my favorite apple pie.

Yes, you can use a pie pan to bake a cake, but you should be aware that pie pans typically have angled sides and cake pans have straight sides. Because of this difference, if you're making a layered cake, the edges of the cake will be harder to frost. The cakes can be trimmed to get rid of the angled edges but may still be difficult to frost. Generally, cake pans should be used for baking cakes, but in a pinch, a pie pan will do if you aren't interested in how good the final product looks. The final products were admittedly very cute, and fun to share. Three pie plates use about the same amount of filling as one full-sized pie, so all six pie plates would equal about two full-sized pies. Each mini pie served two people who really like pie, but we imagine it could also serve three to four people who just want a bite of pie.

We immediately noticed that the tight fluting around the edge makes a great guide for a consistent finger-crimped pie crust. The coconut cream pie released cleanly and evenly from the plate in perfect slices, while both the top and bottom crusts of the apple pie cooked all the way through.
