apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Pie crust seems so simple and yet it shrinks, burns, is heavy as lead or crumbly like a cookie. We are always looking for ways to make our pie crust more foolproof, and these perforated pie pans promise better air circulation for a flakier, more perfectly golden crust. Have you ever baked pies in a perforated pie pan? If so, how were your results?

A set of two Chicago pie pans is $7.99 at Amazon.
