Description
Crafted from heavy stoneware, this ten-inch pie plate delivers the steady thermal mass necessary to crisp and brown bottom crusts without par-baking. The high-fired clay conducts heat smoothly across its entire diameter, preventing the soggy centers common to glass or lightweight aluminum pans. A broad, molded fluted rim supports decorative crimping and keeps wet fruit fillings or savory custards from bubbling over onto the oven floor.
The interior features a scratch-resistant glaze that releases baked pastry cleanly and allows for slicing directly in the dish using a dull pie server. Measuring two inches in depth, the dish accommodates hefty double-crust apple pies, quiches, and deep pot pies. It is safe for refrigerator chilling before baking to keep pastry fat solid, and transitions readily into preheated ovens up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
The dish cleans easily with warm water and standard dish soap. Do not submit the ceramic to direct broiler elements or stovetop heat sources, as concentrated point heat will cause the clay body to crack. Hand washing protects the decorative fluted edge from micro-chipping against other dinnerware during cycles.
