I use one of these to make shortcrust pastry pies quite often, works really well - would like a matching pie bird haha - https://www.lecreuset.co.uk/en_GB/p/stoneware-traditional-pie-dish/SW1110.html

Braisers are deep and have a curved sidewall. They are also cast iron, slow to heat up, and they hold that heat in. Also, you cannot cut the pie in the pan with anything metal. King Arthur Blog Best Pie Pan

You’ll find a lot of debate of which material is best (ceramic vs metal vs glass) with their pros and cons. I think a cheap aluminum pan works fine and if you wanted to give pies away you buy them fairly cheap online. Ordered 10 for like $25 for thanksgiving.

I am absolutely in love with my tarte tatin pan…it swivels nicely without hitting other pots around it cause no long handle sticking out…I would definitely use for a pie!♥️

You don’t need to spend a lot on a good pie pan. Bakers tend to recommend Pyrex pie plates or aluminum ones.

If you want to splurge on stoneware pie plates I would recommend going for Emile Henry. Very similar in aesthetic/history as Le Creuset.

That looks like some messy goodness !

wow!

Never not link on Chicago-style pizza.

Looks tasty as hell man.

I just bought the Apple and cherry pie plates tonight’s Goodwill for $4!

I collect these plates. Most come from Ohio and some from Korea. The pies always turn out delicious. Baked cherry pie with crumble topping

If anyone is interested I can post pics of the other pie plates :)

I literally just saw two identical pie pans/plates at two separate garage sales a couple weeks ago!

I have the apple, lemon, peach and pumpkin as well.

Strawberry Lemon Merangue Apple

Sadly I missed out on peach at a garage sale when someone else snatched it up.

Well done my friend.

Would you mind sharing the recepie?

Dude I love this apple pie recipe you make in a cast iron skillet, it's always a hit.

If you had issues with the crust, you might try turning the suggested temp down 25* and extending the cooking time. Glass and cast iron (understandably) take longer to come to temp, so they need a little coddling.

Oh! You’ve reminded me that I’ve wanted to try this! It looks delicious �� did the crust cook properly and even?

Head over to r/castironbaking they love this kind of thing

My hubby's GMA used to make pies in her 10 inch CI skillet. I have theat same skillet and it makes awesome pies.

Love my Toast-Tite. No crust.

No, no, no, NO. To those of you googling your way here, the best pie iron is C Palmer mfg, made in USA. $45 each, but you will not need another pie iron for the rest of your life.

Anything cast-iron with stainless steel rods coming to a wood handle.

I like the ones that come apart at the hinge. Easier to assemble and clean.

I am looking for c palmer or similar cast iron screwed hinged pie irons near Pittsburgh pa

If you're in Europe, I recommend the brand Petromax. They call it a "sandwish iron"

Thanks for the idea. Love the practical use of your Pyrex pie plates. You can admire them every time you use them

This is so freaking clever. I use my pie plates for a lot of prep work like grating cheese and thawing, but you’ve sparked next level! Pie plate as dinner bowl. ❤️❤️❤️

I love that idea!

Stop do you know how many pie plates I turn down bc I don’t bake?? This is actually such a cute idea! Especially for foods that don’t quite need a bowl but need more than a plate.

Thank you for this excuse to buy the pie plates. 🥰

I love seeing Pyrex in daily use. I admire a cabinet display, but for me and my household, we use 'em!

That looks good.

I tried my first cast iron pie last week. Came out ok. Had some issues that are easily fixable. Will definitely try again .

Recipe?

Yum

Just be careful , if you walk away from it whilst it is full of food it will magically end up in your pockets.

We had a stack of these from my little brother's birthday and ran out. Thankfully, I snagged one to help stand up my lamp on my bed while drawing.

Absolutely! I wonder what I can craft with eggs and spinach...
