Rest assured, there will be no soggy bottoms on our watch.
There are three main materials for pie dishes on the market today: glass, ceramic , and metal. In this test, we set out to find the best all-purpose dish for all of your pie needs. All three materials have benefits, but versatility was the name of the game here.
The main draw of glass is that you can easily monitor the bottom and sides of the pie as it bakes. Metal pans conduct heat proficiently and are generally thinner than glass or ceramic, making them champs at browning crusts. Metal pans can also safely handle temperature changes and move from the fridge or freezer to the oven with no risk of shattering. That’s a risk with both glass and ceramic models .
Beginning in 2019 we pitted all the materials against each other—two metal, three glass, and three ceramic. We’re back in 2022 to see how the original winner holds up as well as to check out a few new deep-dish pans: two ceramic, one glass. Was it possible to find a deeper pie dish that also baked conventional pies well? Could one plate rule them all? This sturdy metal pie plate performed exceptionally well in testing, both in the original test and again this year.
The Pyrex 9-inch Pie Plate has been around for a long time for good reason. It’s just the right size for most recipes, it’s sturdy and inexpensive, and it bakes quite evenly. The ability to see through the bottom to check the browning on theis also a huge bonus for novice and experienced pie bakers alike. The Pyrex dish was slightly harder to clean than our top pick and had some stickage issues with the graham cracker crust, but it was nothing a little scrub couldn’t take care of.
The slices of both apple and Key lime pies came out cleanly from the dish and stayed crisp—that’s one benefit, we think, of thinner, naturally nonstick porcelain ceramic plates over stoneware. At $49, it is certainly more expensive than the other winning dishes, but if you’re a big fan of towering fruit pies and quiche, it’s worth the investment.Our original test dubbed metal the best all-around pie plate material, and we still think that’s the case.
