Pie Pans

They are also known as pie plates, pie tins or pie dishes. This pans are round and slope-sided in shape with rims that holds the crusty tops, in fact their shape is a bit easier to recognize though some people still can't differentiate them with tart pans. These cook wares are made from different types of materials such as aluminum, steel, clay, tin or even glass like the popular Pyrex glass pie pans.

They are generally affordable when it comes to price and also available in various designs. However, a standard one will be circular, an inch deep and about 9 inches in diameter. They vary in sizes that can suit an individuals specifications and some even comes with removable bottoms. On the other hand tart pans are in various shapes such as rectangular or circular and they lack slope sides.

When buying one, it's wise to find out more about the material used in coating if at all it's coated. Inquire if the coating can have chemical reactions with food or compromise the taste. In fact, experts claim that coating is safe while their critics on the other hand are busy trying to prove that it compromises the food quality. Pie pans are also available with handles which makes it easier to use.

When baking, it's important that you place the pie pan in the center of the oven to ensure even hot air flow. However, their shape enables these pans to reflect heat around their shinny surface and their outcome is amazing. Finally, you should be careful when cleaning and make sure not to scratch the coating or the steel.
