"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

    • Beautiful design and color options
    • Microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe
    • Tall sides

      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.
