Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Careful thought went into the making of this Pfaltzgraff pie plate. While the inside is smoothly glazed so that crust won't stick, the underside is left unglazed to distribute heat for even baking. Included with the plate is a ceramic pie bird, in this case a cheery red cardinal, which sits in the middle of the pie during baking to vent steam, thus preventing filling from overflowing and helping to produce a crisp crust.

Snowy white with the delicate green holly and red berries of the Winterberry pattern, the pie plate looks lovely filled with any kind of pie, and coordinates with a full range of Winterberry dinnerware and serving ware. Made of durable stoneware, the pie plate is safe for the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Pfaltzgraff covers the pie set with a five-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

Pfaltzgraff Winterberry "Perfect Pie Plate" features a snowy white stoneware body decorated with a festive red and green holly pattern. This "Perfect Pie Plate" will bake your favorite pie evenly thanks to the unglazed bottom of the pie plate. Fillings won't overflow because the charming cardinal pie bird will allow excess moisture to escape.

I just ordered one of these and found this info on how to use it : "You put the bottom pie crust in the pie plate, then center the bird on the bottom crust and add filling around. Put a hole in the top of pastry crust top, press crust around bird head. Bake and serve with bird. This pie bird allows the steam inside the pie to release thus giving you a PERFECT PIE - no more soggy or runny Pies." Hope this helps.

UPDATE: Received the plate, instructions on how to use are included with the pie bird. The plate and bird are even more beautiful than in the pictures.

I am determined to make Alton Brown's Super Apple Pie recipe and needed a pie bird. I would have paid $14 just for this bird but got a gorgeous plate, too. The directions on the wrapper are clear--place the bottom piecrust on the plate, place the pie bird in the center, place filling around the bird, make a small hole in the middle of the top crust as you place it over the bird. The bird is bigger than it seems in the picture. The bird was in its own wrapping placed in the pie plate, which was then wrapped with a cardboard sleeve, placed in styrofoam peanuts and shipped quickly from Mega China (ordered 12/12, received 12/17). I will be using this set for Christmas!

Usually when I bake an apple pie I have to clean the over afterwards. I was skeptical, but this REALLY works to keep it from running over. And it's beautiful in presentation too.
