This review is from: Norpro Silicone Pie Crust Shield (Kitchen)

I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. I use my own pie pans and make my own crusts and the aluminum shields never fit quite right. Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield, Progressive International Pie Crust Shields I bought two of the pie shields, and they worked perfectly on my 9" pie pans even with the decorative edge on the crust. I left them on through the entire baking time, and the edge of the crust turned out nicely browned all the way around. The shield becomes very hot in the oven so care should be taken when handling it.

The shield provides ample protection for the crust without covering the pie filling, and they can be easily removed without worrying about damaging the edge of the crust. Unlike the aluminum shields, the silicon pie shield won't become dented or banged up after a few uses or storage mishaps. This pie shield costs just a tad bit more than the aluminum ones, but it is well worth the extra cents especially if you bake a lot of pies.

The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 500 degrees F.

I love how this product works. Much better than the aluminum shields. The only thing I was very disappointed in, and as it was the main reason I bought it, was it did not fit a 10" pie plate as advertised. It fits a 9" pan perfectly, but not a 10" pie plate. If you are looking to use this using a 10" pie plate, this is not the pie shield for you. Otherwise, this is a great produc.

So much better than foil or other items to shield the edge of the pie from burning! Even makes frozen pies taste more homemade ... truly is a great item for baking pies. If you have ever burned a crust on a pie (or gotten it a little dark), and you're tired of using foils to "try" and wrap the edge of a pie, this will be your saving grace. I recommend this whole-heartedly to anyone who wants to look like a pro but doesn't have that skillset. As someone who bakes a lot, especially at the holidays, I wish I had purchased this item sooner. Worth every penny!
