Easy-as-Pie Set

Brilliant pie dish. Loved being able to concentrate on the filling instead of worrying about getting the pastry right with beads.

We're not too keen on baking beads in my household. They're fiddly, I've got to have yet another jar kicking around to store them in and I have to clean them every time. Also, they've never worked for me that well.I was delighted to stumble across this product online and hoped, rather than assumed it would work. Well it does. I was also rather impressed with how much this could hold as well as how easy it was to remove from the pan. It was infinitely less fuss and it gave me perfect pastry. I would say though, for the best pastry recipe, don't use the one the product comes with (it's okay, but its not perfect), check out Gordon Ramsey, his pastry recipes are spot on every time. I would definitely reccommend this if you like to make quiches, and other pies when you want a decent crisp pastry base and not a soggy one! Good luck!

Brilliant! perfect pies turn out every time. Lovely to have something that does what it says on the packet. You can slide it out then slice it rather than risk marking the tin, the insert is also brilliant I've never blind baked because its such a faff but i do now.

This pie dish is brilliant. I am not a pastry cook and have had many 'soggy bottoms' before but not now. I made a meat pie yesterday and my husband said it was excellent. Praise indeed!

Really recommend this! Saves the bother of having to use baking beans. Also, when I made a pie recently that didn't involve blind baking I actually made the pie in the perforated pan and the pastry at the bottom of the pie was perfect!
