Easy? Maybe, but there are no instructions!
by Mrs Powell
I read the reviews of this product, and everything else I can find on the net, and can find no clear indication of HOW TO USE IT!!
Now we want to use our 'wonderful pie dish' I'm looking to find out how.
The bad review on this product tried to use it the way I thought it was supposed to be used: bake pastry in the solid part, with the perforated part on top -- baking 'blind'.
THIS DOESN"T WORK.
The way I think you use this product is NOT to bake blind at all, but INSTEAD to line the perforated dish with pastry, add filling straight away and cook in the solid disk as usual. The idea (I think) is to eliminate the need for blind base cooking, and still end up with a crisp, cooked base. I'll let you know if this works fine..... :D

Love it
by Helen
Great piece of baking equipment. Just used it twice this afternoon. Won't be baking blind any other way again. Lovely crisp bases. Simple and easy.

Extremely disappointing
by Mrs Penney
I bought this set a while back to use instead of beans for blind baking, but have only just tried it. It was an abject failure. I lined the solid pan with pastry, then placed the perforated pan on top. During cooking the pastry lifted and pushed the perforated tin up with it. Since the pastry had cooked it was not possible to push it back into the pan without it breaking in several places. I had no time to bake a second case, so simply filled and baked as usual. Needless to say the it was an interesting take on a Clafoutis recipe - custard beneath the case, soft middle layer of pastry and fruit on top! Because I bought this a while back I was not sure I should write to write to Lakeland. However, when discussing this disaster with my mother in law she confessed that she had had exactly the same experience with her Lakeland pie set and had also thrown it out without making a complaint.
