Best Pie Birds for Baking Vintage

👤The reviews claim that dough stuck to the tamper and it was easier to do with my fingers. Well. There's a right way to use this tool and a lot of wrong ways. The pastry dough needs to be refrigerated thoroughly before use. If you want to see the sides from above, form balls just to fit in the mini muffin spots, and then put them in the pan. When using the tamper tart, gently press down, then rock the tamper around and back and forth as you see the dough coming up all around. The top of the pastry should be even height all around. When the pastry is above the pan, stop. If your hands have warmed the dough, you'll know more chilling is required if the balls get much easier to form in your palms as the fat content begins to soften. This one is the correct tool for the process, as it doesn't have the same shape as the mini muffin pans. The dough stays tender and flaky because there's no need to roll it out. It's more sanitary, as you don't have a lot of contact with the pastry. It's so fast. Keep your tools chilled and learn how to use them properly. And take care of your device. If the grain rises from water exposure, sand the wooden tamper down with a very fine paper. Don't forget to sand around the bottom edge, and always sand with the grain. I prefer Boos, which is sold at Amazon and has great directions right on the bottle, and you can simply wipe it clean after each use. A simple tart could become a family heirloom. I've done this before, and the manufacturer should give the directions for proper use and care. This is also how to care for a wooden rolling pin, a potential family heirloom.

👤It's much easier to make a shell.

👤I was leery after reading the reviews. The surface was a little rough, but a few seconds with some sandpaper solved the problem. I applied a thin layer of oil. The tool is a good price.

👤I used this to make mini muffin pans and it worked perfectly. I made a ganache with chocolate and heavy cream after baking the crusts. Adding 5 mini marshmallows to the top of it and broiled them to toasty perfection made it fill the mini crusts. Remove from the pans after chilling again. Bite size s'mores desserts are adorable. I used the larger end of the bowl to hold the extra crust mixture because I had a small bowl. Can't wait to use them for more delicious treats.

👤I invested in this one after many years of struggling with my old one. I was not sure how much difference it would make. I have fibro and arthritis in both arms and hand so I would appreciate any help I can get. I tried it and thought it was justwishful thinking. I taught my husband how to try it. He used 3 other styles that were ok but when he tried this he really felt the difference. He told me that it was a good buy and that he did all the "tamping down" for over 8 dozen cookies. It's definitely worth the money. I washed it lightly, then followed the directions to "oil" it.

👤I bought these to use for Thanksgiving, as my previous ones were old metal and sometimes fell into the pie. These are easy to adjust in size. It was a 2 pack. Each one can fit a pie. I tried a new recipe that needed to be baked in a large dish. I was able to attach the 2 together and adjust the size to fit the dish. My daughter who helped bake liked them, so I would recommend them and gift them.

👤I've tried to keep the foil around the edges of my pie. I love these. They're easy to use. Get some now and do yourself a favor.

👤I was not happy with this product. I bought the set of 2 to use on my pumpkin pies. There is no way to adjust the size of your pie plate with the help of the tiny, soft notch at the bottom edge. When my husband tried to put the pies in the oven, it was impossible to get them back on the edges of the pies. He messed up the raw crusts. The product is a joke. Straight into the trash!

👤I used these on two pies last weekend and they didn't pan as well as I would have liked. I guess I'll use tin foil again. When I first received them, I talked to my husband because he was making fun of me for spending money on junk.

👤I only used this product once and it worked well. The end pieces that are supposed to snap into a receiver are not easy to place. I thought I had it in place, but it opened up in the oven and I had a small area of toast.

👤They are easy to use, but it is hard to put on the pie tins. If you want to adjust them half way through, they are fine. I had to adjust to them.

👤It's convenient. I can come up with a pie that fits this edge cover. It is easy to use, delicate, and protects the edge from burning. It's worth every penny.

👤As I ordered multiple sets, I wrote to receive them. I would've kept them, but the coating on the silicone was peeling off. This was a no for me.

👤I have used these pie plates a number of times without incident, and have had pyrex pie plates in the past without any problems. I put a pie on the counter after removing the oven's oven mitt. I walked across the kitchen immediately after the explosion, so I was not in close proximity. These plates are dangerous and should not be purchased.

👤Our Thanksgiving pie was in the oven at 350 degrees. First and last use.

👤Don't buy my PIE PLATE in my kitchen. The cook is cooking at 350 degrees. So frightening.

👤I like Pyrex items. I tried to put a pie crust in the plate when it exploded on me. It caused a small cut on my leg and caused glass to fly all over the kitchen. It took a long time to clean it up. The pie crust kept the glass from flying upwards. It was a flaw in the plate. I would have asked for a replacement but there was no way to send a note to the seller. I would buy this again. I think it's probably a mistake. I would like a replacement for free.

👤I was completely surprised when one of the Pyrex Pie Plates exploded in my oven, ruining the pie it was holding and the one below it with glass shards. There were at least 50 pieces of glass inside of my oven that had to be cleaned out. I had to clean the glass shards out of the oven to ruin my pumpkin pies, but it also ruined the rest of the day's cooking. Attached is a picture. After using the pie plates for the first time, I was very pleased with them, but this was the second time I had used them. I heard a "pop" when the pies were in the oven for over 40 minutes the second time. I was surprised to find that the top pie pan exploded inside the oven. My family has used Pyrex products for decades and I have never seen anything like this before. I have heard that a Pyrex container can crack or split if placed quickly from one extreme temperature to another, but this pie plate was in the oven for over 40 minutes. I threw the second Pie Plate out since I didn't want to risk a repeat of my Thanksgiving experience, since the Pie Plate didn't just crack or split but actually exploded.

👤I've used this for about 2 years. These are the perfect size, depth and width to use as a dish to eat pastas, salads, or anything messy. It holds everything together. I use it as a nice plate to eat out of. I bought it because of that. I'm cool like that. I've used this to warm up food. I've used this many times to bake bread. Maybe once a week. I baked bread one day after a brief moment of insanity. It was taken out of the oven. I took the bread out. It is. In. The. The sink... I turned on the cold water while it was still smoking hot.

👤They were nicely packed with a plastic bag. Nothing was noted differently than other reviewers. There are bright colors. I haven't tried baking with them yet, but unless they don't like the heat, there's not much mystery to it. There needs to be a layer of paper or foil between the weights and the dough in order for them to "sunk" in their dough.

👤I needed pie weights and I liked the multicolor ones offered by this seller. Most of them have small chips in their finish. I haven't baked with them yet, but I think they will be fine. I bought them for a functional use. There are many of them which will fit in a pie pan of any size.

👤Baking weights are perfectly adequate. There were some "chipped" weights in the packaging but no chips in the bag so it wasn't in transit. The bad is that they are not very attractive for pie weights, but the good is that the colors come out nicely when washed and dried. There's enough in the package to get the job done, and they're just about the right size. We are looking forward to baking with them. We won't be blind baking anything until November if anything goes sideways in the oven.

👤The container had several broken or chipping objects out of it. I had to redo my first crust after Sunk into my dough. I threw them out because I was worried they would break in the future.

👤The quality of the lid was very flimsy and bendable so it wouldn't fit on the rim of the container, which was the most annoying part. It looks and feels substandard and not trustworthy as a container to hold all those small pieces without a chance of them landing on the counter or floor.

👤These little balls are used. They clean up well.

👤I needed a Lemon Meringue Pie and these Pie Weights worked great. They were cleaned in a strainer and put on a baking sheet to dry. When they arrived, the Jar was open and the weights were rolling around in the box. The product was decent.

👤The colors work well for me. They should be washed and dried before use.

👤There was no packing around the jars when the bottles of beads burst open. The metal lids were damaged. The beads are small and light. I am not convinced that the coloured beads were worth the extra cost.

👤If this review doesn't convince you to avoid NETGEAR, read the reviews from other customers. If you purchase a NETGEAR product after reading those, you will get what you deserve. I thought NETGEAR would be a good choice for an extender and was completely unprepared for the big scam attempt that happened. My goal is to warn people away from NETGEAR at all costs, so I will give 1 star for this device. After 30 years as a Database Specialist, I am tech literate enough to setup a simple device. The setup requires that the extender become aware of your router so that it can extend your signal. The booklet that comes in the box with the device has a page titled 'Connect with Web Browser Setup'. The photo is attached. Step 3 tells you to click on the New Extender Setup button on the page. You are on a page that looks like a NETGEAR page, but there is no new info on the extenders or a support chat. I am amused and surprised at how bad this support is, but not suspicious, until shady tech calls. He tries to trick me into giving him access to my computer by pretending to be a legit tech company. Is that true? He tried to defend his actions after I confronted him. The origin of this transaction was the NETGEAR Quick Start Booklet, so I was not on my guard. I am pretty sure lots of people get hooked on this and see The Sept 2018 1 star review telling the same story. NETGEAR is not a legit tech company as they do not know this is happening. Amazon is responsible for some things. Do you want to avoid NETGEAR products? I tried a number of ways to get in contact with someone at NETGEAR, but it was not possible. I went in circles for over an hour. If you still want to buy NETGEAR, read the 6-14-19 review by Chu, 9-23-18 by Miller, 6-11-19 Monteith, 2-21-19 Hughes or 10-5-18 with 'Beware' in title. One person says that SCAM tech support left them with a non-functional PC.

👤The 2.4g channel has stopped working on all devices after about 9 months of light use. After 90 days, they want you to pay for support, so they only offer complimentary support on this product. I found several posts with the same problem after researching this issue online. The settings are correct after a factory reset and a firmware update. A paid subscription is required to get a return authorization number, which can only be obtained through technical support. This doesn't seem right. I would not buy this product, but I will definitely consider other manufacturers for future purchases.

👤I bought this because I read that it could increase the speed of the internet up to 750 Mbps, and that it could increase the speed of the internet up to 100%. The gem on page 7 of the user manual is that data traffic routed through the extender is inherently slower than traffic routed directly from the network. The results of the speed test with internet service. 156M is down and 42M is up. 122M is down and 41M is up. The range extender is close to half the speed. Total waste of money.

👤I like to make different sizes of pies, and these different sizes of pie pans allow me to do that. Perfect!

👤They are a nice addition to my pyrex set because of their light weight and variety of sizes.

👤I love the pie plates. The smallest part of the handle is missing. The size is perfect and I want to keep the edge from cutting me.

👤This set is great for bakers, different sizes for different treats.

👤I love all the different sizes of glass and the way they were packaged made me really happy.

👤A good set of plates. You have to go for the money.

👤The different sizes make me happy. It's perfect for entertaining with dips.

👤It will brown items like metal without being hot. I have made pot pie in this pie pan 3 times, all using my homemade crust, and they turned out great. They are non-stick and can be easily cleaned using a plastic scrubber.

👤I love the rich color of the pie plate. I like to use it for dips. My favorite is 8 ounces. Spread softened cream cheese. A can of Hormel Chili is next. Top with shredded cheese. Pop in the microwave and cook until cheese is melted. You can serve with Tostitos and Fritos scoops.

👤Nice plate. They put a coupon for a free item in with a plate and make you jump through hoops to get it. Writing review included.

👤This is a stunning addition to your kitchen, after buying a new glass pie pan that is a well known, supposedly durable, from oven to table brand, and having it litterly explode when we placed it on the counter from the oven. I did some research. The design is stunning and everything it promised is here. My grown daughters will get the items for xmas and birthdays when I become a lifetime member. Baking a pie is easy even for beginners with the sturdy design. BUY IT. You can't go wrong! Great for wedding gifts or just to gift a loved one out of the blue, with great color choices and deep pie designs. I love it.

👤The pie plate is a great design with nice deep sides, a heavy weight and a lovely red color. There are small pits in the glaze on the interior bottom. I reached out to the company twice in a week and a half, but never received an answer. It is not worth the price I paid for a better pie plate and it will remain to be seen how well the glaze holds up with use.

👤This pie plate is mint green. I don't need a new dish. I wanted it for the color. The company should offer more products in this color. The only thing I didn't like was my dish. It could have been used. It was covered in a dirty film that was gross. I have other Sweese products that were delivered clean.

👤This was a gift for our niece who wanted a pie dish in a color that would compliment their kitchen decor. This was perfect! She loved the shape and color. It's not been used to bake a pie yet, but we have confidence that it will do well. A nice gift is a well made dish.

👤Thanks for the fast service and great condition. Will be using it a lot. This product is needed for a new cookbook with larger pies. Thank you.

👤The product is very good. I am sure that it will fit the purpose. My wife bakes a lot of apple pies and this item is what she needed.

👤I have been wanting these for a while. They are in a nice container. This seller is a good one.

👤The weights were on top of the paper. The pie crust turned out perfect.

👤The pie weights were everywhere when the pink lid opened. The small size made it hard to wash them. I haven't used them yet, but there a lot of them, so should work as long as the paper goes up the sides of the pie crust.

👤Ocupan la bandeja del pie. Se necesitara otra para los lados.

👤It is easy to clean with a storage box.

👤I used them. I know they will work well.

👤I have always wanted this item. I never got around to buying it before. It comes in a small container with a bunch of balls for pie crust. I haven't used it yet. I am looking forward to it. It seems straightforward. How do you clean the little balls? I think if you put the paper down it won't make a difference. That is a bit wasteful.

👤Llegaron jajaja en perfectas condiciones. Ahora s quien dijo Pay, ms cosas, and tartas.

👤No utilizares semillas para dar peso, pero no infle la masa.

👤When I bought these, I thought they were the best pie pans. They are ruined after a single cycle in the dishwasher. It was covered in rust despite being dried. There are cracks all along the inside and outside. There is rust everywhere.

👤I have been happy with the pot pies I have made with these. The pie crusts fit the tins the same way. These have been used while camping. I came up with the idea of cooking the food in these and then using them as plates to save on dishware that needed cleaning. I turned them over on the coals and let the residual waste be smelted off. Not washing them while in the woods didn't seem as disgusting as it might be. Even after using titanium silverware, the coating on these is still as strong as it was when they arrived. I think it will take a long time to see them wear out. I will be purchasing more sets for use in the home and to keep in my Go Bag, not to mention having some on hand when cooking out or camping. I might buy stock in the company. You won't be disappointed with this purpose.

👤I don't want to give perfect reviews. The product does stick and rust very easily. I wouldn't purchase it again and I wouldn't recommend it.

👤I received cake pans, not pie pans. They were not labeled that way. The label on the exterior of the packaging said pie pan, but inside it said cake pans. They are not sloped like pie pans should be.

👤Nice pans blind bake. The size is 9 1/2 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches deep. I need a 9 inch pan to fit in my vintage ceramic lemon meringue pie dish.

👤The top one arrived well and seems nice. The paper label was scratched up and the second was a little rusted. It is not worth returning them. Since it happened at the factory, I'm not really happy, but I'll live with it.

👤Pam has been sprayed on disposable aluminum pie pans for years. I thought these would be better. Nope, a waste of money. They are difficult to clean because almost everything sticks to them. They are going to put in the dishwasher in the future. Not recommended.

👤I didn't measure the ones that were 50 years old because I was expecting a larger pan. They are a little more difficult to clean. I don't know how long the surface will last.

👤The package with the pie plates arrived on the day I was baking the cheesecake. And for the first time. I followed the directions for the pie crust on the package of Graham crumbs, and the filling on the package of cream cheese, and the pie came out perfect. Each slice slid out of the pipe with ease. Not much left to clean.

👤It was quick with instructions on how to care for pans. I was looking for disposable ones but they are coming faster. Buying disposable pie pans would have been a mistake. It's nice to have something that's reliable.

👤When I started making homemade quiche, I had to pre cook the crust to keep it from getting soggy, and it shrunk and pulled away from the edge. I found a new recipe that mentioned beans for weights. Never heard of this. I'm happy to have them. You can rinse them in a container. I'm sure they will last a long time. There is only one suggestion, and that is to have a few more to cover a larger dish.

👤I love the strainer and container for the pie weights. I soaked mine and let them dry before using them. Weights worked well. Adding a strainer and cloth bag to put the weights into is a nice idea. Will be ordering more for gifts.

👤There is a lot of weights in a double container. The whole thing is easy to store because of the inner basket. The product is nice and better than the smaller offerings.

👤It was exactly what I was expecting, but it was in a double container that was a nice surprise. It's worth the money.

👤I don't know if it existed. I bought them because I needed them for a recipe. I haven't used them yet, but they are cool. They are heavy enough to hold the paper in the crust.

👤I liked these. They have a nice storage container and are easy to use. They arrived in time to make a pie.

👤The weight and amount of the beads were nice. They will do the job well. I like the storage container.

👤The weights are large. You will need to wash the ceramic dust off, but it comes with an awesome wash basket. The bag is cute, but I had to turn it inside out after rinsing the ceramic dust off. It's not really a big deal to me. It is a simple fix. 9.10

👤They look great. The size and weight are perfect. I washed them and let them drain. The dust was expected. There were no broken pieces on mine. Before using the first time, I would check. I am sure the ceramic beads break occasionally.

👤These pie weights are really nice. They filled the 9 inch pan and left some over. They don't come with instructions, but you can use them. I put them over the paper and foil to make it easier to take out. They are easy to wash.

👤The pie beads work. You should allow them to cool before you put them away or try to clean them.

👤I tried to remove my single crust from the bottom, but they stuck to it.

👤I like that they arrived quickly. They are easy to clean, just rinse them off and let them dry.

👤I bought a larger set because I loved the one I had before.

👤Not what I was expecting. They left a stain even though they were pre-washed. It's not easy to wash them afterwards.

👤The product is what it is described as. I was very happy with how the pie crust came out when I tried the weights for the first time. The weights are easy to clean and the bag is useful.

👤The item was in great condition when it arrived. If you have to blind bake a pie crust, they are perfect.

👤I'm going to get more of these.
