If you're a fan of baking delicious pies and tarts, then you'll love this 25cm oven proof pie plate. Be cautious of cutting your pies while still sitting inside a metal pie pan, especially pans such as the Williams Sonoma’s Gold Pie Pan, as you don’t want to scratch or ruin the nonstick coating. Our deep apple pie cooked well in this dish – the pastry was crisp on the sides, but a little soggy on the bottom (we’d recommend using it for pies with drier fillings or without a pastry base). Additionally, the stain-resistant glass doesn't retain flavours, so your pies will always taste fresh and delicious.

But we found that the corrugated interior was not as consistently nonstick as touted, making some slices hard to remove and the pan more laborious to clean.

The champion of flaky, crisp, golden crusts, a metal pie pan is a no-frills, low-cost option every baker should have on hand. Easy to clean – Once you’re done with this dish just pop it in your dishwasher for a quick and simple clean.

As practical as it is aesthetic, the transparency of the dishes makes it possible to monitor the cooking and serve directly at the table.One helpful solution Kate McDermott offered: if you must use a disposable pan, bake it inside a glass or ceramic pan — which will aid with even heat distribution and add stability for handling — and remove it only once it has cooled and is ready to serve. It is the manufacture of borosilicate glass that gives the Pyrex® brand its reputation in the field of French manufacture since 1922. If you're a baking enthusiast or simply enjoy whipping up delicious homemade pies, a Pyrex pie dish is an essential tool for your kitchen.
