pie plates

Round pastry pans

Pie plates are shallow, round baking dishes with sloped sides, designed specifically for making pies.

The angled walls support the crust while allowing for easy slicing and serving.

Most are made of glass, ceramic, or metal, with glass being popular because it lets bakers monitor browning on the bottom crust.

Standard sizes are nine or ten inches in diameter.
