Emile Henry Modern Classics Pie Dish
Pros
- Durable
- Dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe
- Beautiful color options
Cons
- Heavy
- Pricey
If you have only one pie pan in your kitchen, it has to be the Emile Henry Modern Classics Pie Dish. Handmade and extremely durable, it's also beautiful to look at and can easily transfer from oven to table for a picture-perfect display.
"I adore the ruffled lip, which comes in handy for helping crimp the edges of my dough," said Delish deputy editor Rachel Tepper Paley. "I have it in the yellow shade, which makes for a gorgeous pop of color on my table."
While it may look delicate, this pie pan is tough—it's resistant to chipping, scratches, and thermal shock, and is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pros
- Comes in a set of two
- Dishwasher safe
Cons
These Pyrex glass pie pans are a favorite of Delish senior food producer June Xie. The shallow, glass construction allows for great visibility while baking. (Translation: You can see your crust brown in real time!) Made of high-quality tempered glass, these pans are durable and safe in the freezer, oven, and dishwasher.
American Metalcraft Deep Dish Aluminum Pie Pan
Pros
- Lightweight
Cons
- Not as pretty of a presentation
Another of Xie's go-to pie pan is the American Metalcraft Deep Dish Aluminum Pie Pan, which is lightweight and great for traveling. Aluminum also heats quickly and evenly, which makes for a perfectly-cooked pie.
Pros
- Beautiful design and color options
- Microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe
- Tall sides
Cons
This Great Jones vintage-inspired pie dish adds a pop of color and style to any tabletop. The ceramic promotes even heat distribution, while the wavy rim helps to form a uniformly crimped crust Many reviewers love the tall two-inch-tall sides, which are ideal for baking pies that are heavy on the filling.
Gobel Fluted Non-Stick Pan with Removable Bottom
Pros
- Nonstick coating
- Removable bottom
Cons
- Prone to rust
For everything from Key lime pie to frozen peanut butter and banana pie to New York-style cheesecake, this Gobel pie pan is used by executive pastry chef Jen Yee at steakhouse C. Ellet's in Atlanta, G.A.
"I love the look of the fluted edges, and at almost 2 inches high, the pan allows us to make a deep dish dessert that offers more of the good stuff... the filling," said Yee.
Plus, with a removable bottom and nonstick coating, you'll never have to worry about damaging your freshly-baked pies when removing them from the pan. However, since these pans are prone to rust, Yee washes them by hand and makes sure to dry them right away.
