My Perforated Pie Pan Trial/Winners Announced

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 664 Comments

Last updated on November 10th, 2020

Per the little number generator at Random.org, the winners are #86 Michele, #130 Joy, and #314 Christopher. To collect your loot, just send me a note (click here) and be sure to include your shipping address!

Today, because the season of pie is nigh, I’m giving away a very special pie pan. What makes this pan unique is its perforated sides and bottom. The tiny mafia holes permit hot air from the oven to evenly brown and crisp the pie dough. That’s right — no more soggy-bottom pies! And get this — there’s no need to blind-bake the crust first if you are making a quiche. To learn more, watch the video below, in which I give the pan a trial run. Then enter the random drawing:

In the video above (click the “play” arrow to watch), I’ll discuss the pan’s dimensions. Then, for the sake of experiment, I’ll make and bake a pie for you!

Some pictures for you:

Thanks to the holes in the pan, the sides of my pie were perfectly baked.

Also baked to perfection was the bottom crust. I love this hole-y pie pan!

The pan is sold as MasterClass “Crusty Bake.” I purchased my pan — and the three I’m giving away today — from Amazon. Click here to read verified purchaser reviews of the pan.

Now onto the random drawing! To enter, simply post a comment below. As usual, I’ll use the little number generator at Random.org to select the winners.

The Rules:

Only one comment per person, please.

Enter soon! This random drawing expires at midnight EST on Monday, November 9, 2020.

Winners names will be announced at the top of this post on Tuesday, November 10, 2020, so be sure to check back!

Good luck everyone! xKevin

    What size is this? I like the idea of a perfect crust. It’s the most important part of a pie.

    Laura says

    Love baking pies so I could use this, especially since one of my daughters ran off with one of my pie pans, but swears she doesn’t have it.

  11. 11

    Lou M. says

    This is a great idea. I have trouble getting crisp browned pie bottoms. Your pie looks perfect.

  12. 12

    Lois says

    That perforated pie pan looks so cool! No more soggy bottoms for me…..I’m putting it on my Christmas list!

  14. 14

    Sandra Abalos says

    I would love to try this unique pie pan when baking a family tradition at Thanksgiving, Momma’s favorite Nonesuch mincemeat pie! With only one sister left in my immediate family, the day draws near when this special treat will fall by the wayside.

  15. 15

    Patricia A. Holmes says

    A dream come true with this great invention. Now there is hope that my yummy pies will not have crusts with sags, bags, and wrinkles…just like me! Count me in for the drawing. Thank you! By the way, how are things going with your beautiful rescued kitty???

  16. 16

    David Russell says

    NO soggy bottom crust…gotta look into further…maybe goodby grandmas pyrex pie plate.

  19. 19

    Sue Emden says

    Since I love baking pies, especially during the holidays this pie pan really intrigues me. Knowing you can send leftover pie home with guests that tastes as good as the day it was baked would be wonderful! Thanks for introducing it to us!

    lorie says

    As a kid I would hover close by and beg snippets of my mom’s raw piecrust dough as she worked. But I guess raw is not desirable in the finished product, is it.

  23. 23

    Betsy says

    Now why didn’t WE think of this?? Appreciate all your tips & delish recipes!
    Happy Fall to all 🙂

  25. 25

    Angie Scharnhorst says

    Can’t wait for Thanksgiving pies! I have tons if pie plates, but none of them are soggy-bottom proof.

  26. 26

    JoAnne Padula Walker says

    It would be helpful when making a zucchini onion pie. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

  29. 29

    MaryEtta says

    This looks wonderful! I have tried various methods to get nice crisp crusts and think you may be on to something. Thank you!

    Adams P Nancy says

    Looks marvelous. I did see some small pie tins in an antique shop booth that had small holes in the bottom, but it was very light-weight and not of the quality or size of this pan. I’d be happy to give it a try. In fact, one year when I was considerably younger, I gave my husband ‘a pie a week’ for a Christmas gift…wonder if I could do that again with this beauty.

    Yuki Tsumori says

    Simply hoping to run this special pie pan so that I will be making a very tasty thanksgiving pie this year.

    Thank you.

    What an ingenious idea! Thank you for sharing about this pan and for the possibility of owning that pan 🙂

    I love pies better than cake. You’ve got great recipes for pies. Look forward to winning one of these pie plates. If not, I’ll buy one. Love your newsletter.

    Mary S says

    Never even thought about how a perforated pan would work, but this makes total sense. See better apple pies in my future

  48. 48

    Cecilie Sugden says

    I could spend my days wondering why I didn’t invent this nifty gadget, but we can’t all be the sharpest crayon in the box

    Renée Coursey says

    I am gluten free and would love to have this pie pan. This is my birthday week so this would be a great gift. Thank you, Renée

  52. 52

    Elizabeth Valeri says

    Thanks for bringing this perforated pan to my attention. I must say, I find your baking recipe and tips very helpful. Here’s hoping I win the pan and use it to expand my baking repertoire.

  53. 53

    SandraG says

    What a lovely idea! I’ve never heard about this before and I’d love to get one, purchased or otherwise 🙂

  56. 56

    Sheila J. says

    What a great invention! I’m often stymied by “soggy bottom” crust, even when I blind-bake it first.

  57. 57

    Cam says

    I’ve had a pizza pan like this for years so it makes since that it would be awesome for pie crust!

  59. 59

    Lynne Parzini says

    Hello Kevin!
    Cheers!
    Like many of your admiring followers, I’ve been poked and perforated, rolled out, roasted and baked for the past four years. Astonishing that the prospect of creating pie-love still appeals. Greatly!

  60. 60

    Tania Cutler says

    Very similar concept as a perforated pizza pan which provides beautiful crusts. Couldn’t be better than to try with a pie crust.

  61. 61

    Judy Hines says

    Kevin, the entire video was wonderful!!! Your videos are like a ballet. That pie pan looks great and the butter crust, oh so yummy. Cheers from Central Illinois where the sky is like a water color painting.

  62. 62

    Laura says

    This product sounds ingenious, love to have one for my daughter who is baking pie for Thanksgiving.

  68. 68

    Tania Cutler says

    Very similar concept as a perforated pizza pan which provides beautiful crusts. Couldn’t be better than to try the same application with a pie crust.

  71. 71

    Virginia says

    Love watching your videos! I have learned a lot! My son in law and daughter own a restaurant and I make the pies for them! Mostly fruit pies but of course pumpkin for the holidays! Would love your pie pans! They would make a difference!

  73. 73

    Barbara Dalton says

    That’s brilliant, Kevin! I would love to have one or my family’s famously easy apple pie! And pumpkin pie, where the crust is always a bit soggy bottomed!

  74. 74

    Jo Schaefer says

    Very interesting pie pan. I have an old, old one that has holes, but only on the bottom. Holes really do improve a crust’s texture!

  77. 77

    Pamela says

    This is really exciting to think I would not longer have to “pre bake ” the crust!! It looks marvelous!

  78. 78

    Arden in Utah says

    Very intriguing idea, this pie pan! For so many years I used the ready made refrigerated crusts, being totally intimidated by trying to make pie crust. Then when we moved to Costa Rica, those pie crusts weren’t readily (if at all) available, and we hosted these huge Thanksgiving dinners every year. So, no solution except to learn to make pie crust — most years I made MANY since once I got going, they were easy to do and were especially good since great fresh lard was available everywhere there at this time of year, especially. I’ve gone back to the premade type since my food processor gave up the ghost, but with this pan I might be inspired to return to homemade!

  84. 84

    Judy says

    I would love to give this pan a go. Does it also solve the problem of the crust bubbling up for single crust pie recipes?

  86. 86

    Michele spencer says

    I love your videos and watch everytime I receive one. I love your recipes too. I would love to try this pie pan out. Thank you for the fun giveaway. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks Kevin! -michele-

    Connie Copeland says

    I’m always looking for better kitchen tools and gadgets, this looks like
    something I can use this winter with my incredible stash of apples.
    Thanks for all your inspiration and informative videos, I appreciate you
    and look forward to see you each week.

  90. 90

    Suzi foxx says

    So relaxing to watch your videos. Recipes always turn out delish. Great pan as the generous high side crust is a bonus.

  93. 93

    Jean Douglas-Webb says

    Intriguing! I would love to try this type of pan. I’m in British Columbia Canada and I anxiously await your newsletter every Sunday morning..

  95. 95

    Layla Fowler says

    Am I the only one who likes soft pie crust? LOL. I never worried about the crust being underbaked. Hey Kevin, what’s your favorite pie??

  97. 97

    Jan says

    I have a pie pan from Baker’s Square that has holes in the bottom, but not the sides. Also, it’s small

  99. 99

    Katherine ORourke says

    I would like to try this. I have tried many methods for getting a crispy crust on a juicy rhubarb pie.

  106. 106

    Judy says

    What a great idea, would love to try this pan out. Pumpkin pies, Mincemeat, Apple, oh the deliciousness is intoxicating.

  107. 107

    Claudia Simmons Simmons says

    What a wonderful concept. The crust is my favorite part of the pie. It’s possible to build a better mousetrap!

  114. 114

    BETTI F says

    Such a simple idea. Wonder why it took so long for someone to figure it out. I would love to try one of your pie recipes in this pie pan.

  115. 115

    Sandy Bridenthal says

    Yes, please! I bake pies and I think it is my turn to win one of your fabulous giveaways.

    Eileen says

    Taking a deep breath and doing lots of exhaling. Doing lots of cooking. Interesting Idea to fix a chronic problem. Love the blog! Thanks!

  120. 120

    Nancy Zinno says

    Hi Kevin, Thanks for sharing this great pan! when I was a child my Mom had pie pans that were the regular shape and were perforated on the bottom. This looks far more interesting with it being deeper and the perforated sides. Can’t wait to try one!

  121. 121

    Gabriel says

    This is great. We made a key lime pie yesterday. I wonder how it would have come out with this pan. ☺️

  123. 123

    Lois C says

    Coincidentally, I am making and freezing pate brisee (your recipe) this morning. Pie crust is way down on the list of things I do well in the kitchen, but with your videos and instructions I am ever emboldened and hopeful! No purchased pies for me this year! Cheers!

  124. 124

    Barb Johnson says

    Kevin, I wish we lived next door to you! 🙂 Thanks for all the great ideas, recipes, and inspiration! This pie pan looks cool!

    Christina Blais says

    I am the family pie baker. It is my favorite thing to do in the kitchen . I’d love to have this item. Thank you

  127. 127

    Joy says

    I look forward to seeing what you are doing every week. I bought your cookbook and each of the recipes I’ve tried is wonderful. I love your way of presenting…

  131. 131

    Leah C. says

    Maybe with this pan I will finally be able to eat the bottom of my pumpkin pie instead of throwing it out.

  133. 133

    Sharon says

    Yippee what a discovery. We have a long history of pie making in my family would love to own this pan. And your crispy potatoes were perfect and received the stamp of approval from my Irishman

  134. 134

    Suzanne K says

    What a brilliant idea! Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the generous chance to win!

  137. 137

    Jan says

    This looks like a great idea. The back of my pumpkin pie crust always falls down, this looks like a perfect solution. Pumpkin filling probably has a lot of moisture, and this may be the answer.

  138. 138

    Joy says

    I look forward to your site every week! You are inspirational and entertaining, and the recipes are delicious! Thank you!

  139. 139

    David M Adamson says

    I have a similar flat one for pizza and works great so really would love to get this one.

  144. 144

    Yvonne Jenkin says

    I have a n old 7 inch tin with larger holes just in the bottom. It works well but 7 in hes is a personal pie!

  147. 147

    Elaine Sipe says

    Pie is my husband’s favorite dessert, this would be a wonderful addition to my kitchen supplies, plus, it’s my birthday this week! What a fun gift 🙂

  148. 148

    Joanne in Zone 6b says

    Loved watching the whole video; thanks! I have a pie pan I never returned to my late Italian pastry chef uncle. It is perforated at the bottom only with a much smaller number of holes than your pie pan, and even that one produces a less-soggy crust than any other pie pan I’ve ever used. Your pie pan looks amazing! Thanks for demonstrating your find.

  150. 150

    Walter K says

    Kevin,
    Great to see these pans are available. It is however not a new idea. I have an antique pie pan from a commercial bakery (I suppose) that has slightly larger holes in the bottom only. This pan also has raised lettering on the bottom giving the name of the bakery and their phone number –
    “PIES by Fasano
    PO7-8760”
    I will try to attach a photo.

  154. 154

    Bobbi says

    Ingenious! I use a hole-y pizza pan to get a crisper crust. A hole-y pie pan makes perfect sense. I’d love to give it a try! Thank you, Kevin!

  157. 157

    Kathy says

    Soggy crusts just completely ruin a pie, so I’d love to try this type of pan! Thanks Kevin for showing it to us, your readers!

  158. 158

    Penny says

    Brilliant idea! Would love to have a crunchy bottom crust! I must say tho, the sides of my pies have always browned beautifully in my glass Pyrex pie pans.

  161. 161

    Barbara Duvall-Wesolek says

    Avoiding soggy crust is a dream of all who make pies. If this pie pan is finally the answer, I am all for it and would like to be in the drawing for this miracle.

    Patricia Gilbert says

    I make a pretty fair number of pies, but have always had limited success with non-soggy bottoms. This could just be the answer to my dream!

  163. 163

    Katherine says

    I consider myself a pretty good pie maker, but I learned several new tricks from you. Thanks!

  164. 164

    Chris says

    I’ll probably purchase this holy pie pan…just wish the shape was a little more conventional. Looks like it will be hard to crimp the crust plus getting that first slice out may be a nightmare! XXXOOO, Chris

  165. 165

    Julie Kemp says

    As you were demonstrating the pumpkin pie I kept wondering how it would perform with a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza recipe. Seems very logical..then as I scrolled through the comments I noticed that Cam had been using a similar pan for years for pizza. We all find out that others have already discovered our brilliant ideas before we did!
    My Mom always prepared the Libby pumpkin pie recipe, too…it’s yummy!!

  166. 166

    Patricia A Nadreau says

    The only good Soggy Bottom is the Soggy Bottom Boys band from the movie “O’ Brother Where Art Though”. Thank you Kevin for another wonderful and informative video. It was so nice to watch after a very stressful week, as you noted. There will be more stress to come, I am sure, in the next few weeks until it is finally over. Hopefully we can then all unite to make our country whole again. Until it is over I will be stressing and eating more pie.

  168. 168

    Anne Paulson says

    That pie looks so yummy, and the thought of a nice crispy crust is making my mouth water! I hope you try it with a quiche recipe.

  173. 173

    Michelle says

    I would LOVE to try this pie pan! I’ve been baking pies for over 50 years and am always looking for ways to make them that much better. My family’s favorite, hands down, is pumpkin!

  177. 177

    karin Sampogna says

    OH MY GOODNESS!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!! YOUR FINISHED CRUST LOOKS SO CRISPY! IF I DONT WIN THE PAN, PLEASE JUST PUT THAT PUMPKIN PIE IN THE MAIL!! YUM AND THANKS FOR ALWAYS SHARING THE BEST TIPS AND RECIPES KEVIN….HAPPY THANKSGIVING KARIN

    Nancy Nikora says

    My pie baking husband, who loves to try new equipment, would love this new pan. Thanks, Kevin!

  181. 181

    Kate says

    What a niffty pan! Kevin I’m looking forward to seeing how it works for a two crust fruit pie. Your fruit pies probably turn out better than mine! Haha mine tend to be loose and not hold form when cut into. That might be a bad thing for a pan with holes in it. Do you have any suggestions for getting the fruit pies to not fall apart?

  182. 182

    Eloise says

    Thank you, Kevin, for introducing me to this pie pan and even giving it to a winner. I hope I’m the lucky one. The crust is my favorite part of any pie!

  184. 184

    Pam says

    Kevin- you have improved my cooking skills over the years! Thanks for being a good teacher and what a great product to improve the pie crust!

  185. 185

    Kerry Coffman says

    Last year, I used fresh sugar pie pumpkins to make our pie. What a difference! I’ll never used canned again. I too have put this pan on my wish list.

  189. 189

    Vickie B. says

    Hi Kevin,
    I’m excited about this new pan. I don’t make pies much, because of soggy bottoms. This looks like the end of that problem. Thanks a bunch for showing us new idea!!

  190. 190

    Jean Diemer says

    Your pie looks amazing and I may have to purchase a pan if I don’t win one of yours. Thanks for the handy tips you are always sharing with us.

  191. 191

    Donald says

    The only pie crust i have ever had has been home made. This would be an incredible addition to my Covid home training (I’m just learning to bake) for baking.

  197. 197

    cleo jordan says

    I bought one of these in England 20 years ago with a removable base but a bit shallower probably a tart pan. I love it and have perfect ‘bottoms’ every time. I would enjoy a deeper one for sure.

  200. 200

    Marilyn Burr says

    Love the info, videos and recipes from you. I am looking forward to using this pie pan. Thank you

  202. 202

    Loraine Pross says

    Been a while since I made pies – – I would be willing to re-visit my recipies with a pan like this!!!

  209. 209

    Katherine Demes says

    Thanks so much for the video on testing the perforated pie pan. I would love to win one of the pans!!

  210. 210

    Nicole says

    Wow!!

    What a great idea!

    I think I will have my Dad drill holes into the bottom of my pie pan and give it a try!

  215. 215

    Margaret says

    Chances are slim to none BUT my granddaughter has just mastered the basic apple pie and mixed berry pie to perfection. So so proud that I am able to pass down my down home cooking knowledge to this younger generation.
    Your perforated pie pan fascinates me and I would love to be included in this drawing.

  216. 216

    Natalie says

    I love baking pie! This pan sounds fabulous for the crust, and any pie lover knows the crust is everything!
    Thanks, Kevin!

  217. 217

    Desiree Passantino says

    I love your home lifestyle. I’m toying with the idea of making pot pies this winter. I mean what could be better on a chilly autumn day? I saw this pan on Amazon showing that I could make pot pies in it. Thanks for your generous gesture of having a contest.

  218. 218

    Diane says

    What a fantastic idea. I love making pie crust and pies. Making the crust if very therapeutic for me. Thanks for all your fantastic ideas!

  220. 220

    Leslie Megill says

    Always learning from you, Kevin. Thanks for the shares. Besides those holy holes, I’m loving the depth of this pie pan. I’m always overstuffing my pies because I love lots of filling. Double solutions with this pan!

  222. 222

    Irene Wilkinson says

    I’ve had a pizza pan with perforations for years. Same concept. Wonder if it was the same person that made them both?

  226. 226

    Robin Bastianelli says

    You always find the neatest stuff. Thank you for sharing with us! Happy baking, Robin

  229. 229

    Diane Hinkle says

    Great idea for a pie crust pan? Why didn’t I think of that? Nothing worse than a soggy pie crust. That’s when I just eat the filling!

  231. 231

    Nancy says

    My sister is the pumpkin pie maker/baker in the family. She would this pie pan! And I love all your videos! Thanks, Kevin.

  232. 232

    Susan says

    I’ve never liked soggy bottomed pie! This looks like it might work! Would love to try this pie plate out!

  233. 233

    Deborah Dean says

    Would love to try this pan. I think this would be good for my mushroom, spinach quiche.

  235. 235

    Barbara says

    I haven’t read through the comments, so it’s possible someone has already mentioned this. But i have some extremely old pie plates that i got from who-knows-where that are a very similar concept! I never use them – they’re rusted and quite small. But they’re just like an ordinary pie plate, with the exception of a sort of metal “webbing” on the bottom that pretty much creates the air holes of your modern pan. After all the “purges” of surplus home items over the years, those pans have stayed with me because i’ve always been so intrigued by them.

    Your pie looks delish! And thank you for all you do. You’ve been a great comfort these past years.

  236. 236

    Skye Daniels says

    Wow!! This looks amazing & might coax me past my great pie crust fear.
    Thanks for the chance to win, Kevin!

  238. 238

    Candace Geary says

    I would love to have a pie pan to up my game with wet pies. I haven’t even heard of a perforated pie pan. I will definitely have to get one, if I am not lucky enough to win one. Thanks for another great baking tip. Today, I am baking one of your bread recipes. Baking at our elevation in NM (5,052′) has become an ongoing challenge for me. My entire life, prior to our move, I never had to worry about my altitude.

  239. 239

    Cynde Robbins says

    I don’t make pie because the crust is usually soggy so I’d love to try one of these pans. The holes seem like a great idea!

  244. 244

    Pam Dempsey says

    What a great idea! Thanks for the giveaway Kevin 🙂 Your chicken sheet pan dinner is my favorite recipe!!!

  245. 245

    Ellie says

    I love this idea, Kevin. I love crispy, flaky pie crust. Under-done bottoms are awful, but it happens. I’d love this pie pan but we will see what happens. I look forward to your emails each week. Thanks for all you do and share.

  249. 249

    Zak says

    A bit concerned ready some of the negative reviews, where overflow liquids, syrups, butters and fats drip onto oven floor, but I guess you could always slide a pizza pan underneath.

  250. 250

    Jerre says

    Wow, seeing the brown crust on the sides and bottom makes one a believer. Also, makes me very hungry for pumpkin pie. I always look forward to Sundays when you make something for us and give links.

  254. 254

    Missy Mersman says

    As commenter number 249, what are my chances of winning this pie pan? Oh, well. At least I have weights for blind baking pie crusts the old fashioned way. And I do love your unpretentious style in the kitchen, Kevin.

  255. 255

    Mary in Iowa says

    What a good idea! I have perforated Pizza pans and baguette pans, so would love to try this one. Thanks for the demo, Kevin.

  256. 256

    Mary Biehle says

    Thank you, Kevin. You make pie-making look so easy. I would love the opportunity to make an Apple pie in this amazing pan

  259. 259

    Louise Narine says

    How sweet it is! I love kitchen gadgets that make the BEST food, with the BEST ingredients from the BEST FRIEND BLOGGER on the net. best of luck to everyone.

  261. 261

    Mary Hatton says

    Great idea! I’m newly retired and I’ve joined a baking group. I’m enjoying trying new recipes and exploring new products. This pan looks like a winner!

  266. 266

    Mikaela says

    My family likes a more heavily-spiced pumpkin pie, so we use a 1.5 times the amount of spices on the back of the Libby’s can, plus 0.5 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.

  272. 272

    Mary Beth says

    Years ago my husband drilled holes in a loaf pan then I nested it in another one so meatloaf drained as it baked. Now I see that style available to buy. Now someone had the same idea for a pie pan!

  273. 273

    Sandra Allen says

    Kevin thank you so much for the info and demo of this pie pan. I will make your crust also from now on. Have a wonderful holiday season.

    Pearl Francess Cheek says

    My last pie had soggy crust, despite placing it on a preheated cookie sheet. So very disappointing. Looking forward to crispy crust using this perforated pie pan.
    Also will use your butter recipe. Kevin. Thanks for the tutorial.

  280. 280

    Mary T Paulsen says

    Could I use this for a meringue pie where the crust is pricked & baked before adding the cooked filling & meringue to finish baking? Will love it for quiches!

  284. 284

    Awesome invention Kevin! Leave it to you to figure this out…. brilliant. If I am not lucky enough to win, I will put this on my Christmas list.

    I love your blog and have enjoyed many of your tasty recipes. I particularly loved the tomato and cheese pie recipe you shared with us this summer. It was delicious. So good in fact that I shared it with my family and friends…. Definitely a keeper and a real winner!☺️

    Hi Kevin, I love pie. I love left over pie dough I can roll out, spread with butter and cinnamon sugar, roll, and bake. I like it almost as much as the pie I’m baking. I would love to try some pies with these pans. Thanks for all your fun and informative posts. Happy trails, Linda P. Strangio

    K M says

    You’re a really great chef. Surely the purpose of the holes is to let steam escape rather then let heat in? The pan itself would be the same temperature as the air in the oven so no holes needed for that.

    Jan Carter says

    So good to see you using the Libby’s recipe for pumpkin pie! My mother was a phenomenal baker and cook, and this was her go to recipe. I’m 75 and this is by far my favorite pumpkin pie recipe. I’m intrigued by the perforated pie pan and will most likely order one if I don’t win one. I bet it would be great for quiche. I’m going to have to try your crust recipe. Love you, Kevin!

    Judith E Reiter says

    My pet peeve is a soggy bottomed pie. I blind bake slightly and then finish the filled pie on a pizza stone. I’d be thrilled to find a simpler method.

    Nancy J. says

    I have been baking for 60 years I would love to have this pie pan I wonder if you still have to prick crusts before you bake them for a pie crust to fill and put maybe a cream filling I would very happy if I won this

    LAVON EBLEN says

    When the leaves started to fall, you demonstrated the assembly of a leaf vacuum. That seemed like a great idea for the places in my yard where the leaves blow into big piles so I ordered one right away. Hope you have enjoyed yours as much as I have enjoyed mine. Thanks for introducing the “new toy” for the yard.

    I would love to have a newfangled pie pan in time for the holidays! Thanks for all your posts, Kevin!

    Nancy M says

    What a great new toy, Kevin! I’m very interested to see how well it works with a fruit pie. Apple pie without a soggy bottom would be amazing!

  304. 304

    Marlyn A. says

    I’m surprised you don’t make your own pumpkin puree. I always buy a couple pie pumpkins at the grocery store every Fall. I bake it, scoop it from the skin, mash it and freeze in 1 or 2 cup amounts, all ready to put in a quick bread or a pie recipe. This pan looks wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win one!

  306. 306

    Carol L says

    This is a great idea! I’ll have to put it on my Christmas list (if I don’t win one!) Love it!

    Debby Conant says

    My mother was a great pie maker! I have tried to follow in her footsteps but I do have a problem with soggy bottoms. I will also make our traditional mincemeat pie. (My mother even made the mincemeat from scratch). I want to keep the tradition going. Can you tell my age? With family coming here this year it would be an adventure to try your new pan. Thanks for your thoughtfulness! Your show is a hit for me on Sunday mornings.

    Daria Plummer says

    Pie making people are special people. A crust makes or breaks a good pie. Thanks for brightening up our days pre-, during, and I so hope post-Covid. Cooking and baking for self and others: Sanity and kindness and life sustaining at times.

    Carol Miller says

    I have heard good things about pizza pans that are made with all of the tiny holes. A pie plate should make an amazing crust 🙂

    OMG Kevin!! My hubby would love this. He does all the baking at our house and makes the flakiest melt in your mouth pie crust ever.
    Thanks for the letting us try to win one!!
    Love you emails and web sight.

  324. 324

    Margie says

    My husband would be thrilled to see me get one of these pie pans. His favorite pie is cherry and I like to make them for him often. But if the crust is soggy he can’t eat it. DD has 2 cherry trees in her yard so I would use this pan often. Must add to Christmas list immediately!

    Just moved to another state and had to purge a ton of things…bake ware included…this pan looks awesome and is perfect for this time of year…

    Susan McAuliffe says

    70 years ago I made pies with my mother. 50 years ago I made pies for my husband and then for my children. 20 years ago I stopped making pies for some reason. After seeing your video I have a renewed interest in baking pies again. I hope my name is picked. If so I will make pies for Thanksgiving and give thanks for my new pie pan!

  335. 335

    Karyn Clark says

    Pies of nearly any kind are my favorite dessert. I would sure give this new pan a workout!!

    Kathy Passie says

    FINALLY! No more pre-baking pie crusts…. GREAT IDEA!
    I need one! Look forward to your blog every Sunday!

  340. 340

    Karen L. says

    The crust is the least favorite part of the pie as far as I am concerned. Perhaps if it were crispier, I would change my mind. I will be checking other reviews for this pie pan since I now have yours. Thanks for that!

  342. 342

    Barbara McIntyre says

    Hi Kevin! No more soggy bottoms? My pies would never make the grade on The GBBO. I’d give anything to have a crisp crust on the side and bottom of my quiche. Perhaps this pan is the answer. Thanks for sharing.

  343. 343

    Mary M says

    I always look forward to Sunday to see what great new recipe you will have to try out..and as always have a chuckle at your humour…. and a new pie pan would be great too!!

  345. 345

    Ardelle says

    Have always loved making pie and yes, the soggy bottom was disappointing especially with juicy fillings. I would love to have this dilemma solved with this newfangled pan – thank you for the video introducing this new pan – it will be used a lot as I am the family pie maker. Look forward to putting it to the test.

  350. 350

    Denise G says

    I love this idea, since sometimes I eat the crust and my oldest daughter eats the pie part! Seriously though, could you revamp your pie crust recipe? It seems no matter what I do, I can’t get it to turn out right, which to me is flaky and tasty.

  352. 352

    Joan Dreyer says

    Wonderful presentation. Soggy bottoms and too soft center fillings meant I used an edge cover to keep my fluting from burning. This pan is the bomb! So many uses from pies to quiches and beyond!

  353. 353

    Rosemarie Rauen says

    This is a great idea. I love all your tips and would like to win one. Usually I am lucky in drawing, so will look into purchasing one. Where did you purchase this pie pan? Thanks

  354. 354

    Loie Sayers says

    Hi Kevin-
    Thanks for all the recipes and gardening advice. I used your pole method this year for tomatoes and it worked fantastically.

    The pan looks great. I don’t like pies as much for the reason you stated— soggy crust—so thanks for the (another) tip! Happy Thanksgiving!

  355. 355

    Katherine says

    Holy pie pan!! What a clever idea! Your pie crust looks like perfection. Thanks for sharing : )

  357. 357

    Janet Hatcher says

    Hi Kevin, the pie pan looks fantastic, I’m still using the old fashioned pyrex glass pie Pan. It would be nice to have that special pan. I might make more pies- but I really really love your Apple crisp -I have made 8 of them this fall and shared. Rave reviews! Thanks!

  360. 360

    Adriana Nowacki says

    Holy pan, Batman! I love this “new” invention. Watching you bake that pumpkin pie had my mouth watering…so I baked one! Thanks for your videos. I love them.

  361. 361

    Debi says

    YEs please, I would love to try this pan. AND I’m going to try your crust recipe. Do let us know how the double crust fruit pie comes out. Thanks Kevin

  362. 362

    Priscilla Zachary says

    Hi Kevin, I would love to have this pan….just in time for my B’day (Nov 11th). I would most certainly use it mostly for quiche’s and of course the occasional pie! Thank YOU so much for the wonderful newsletters and tips.

  364. 364

    Dianne says

    Kevin, thank you for sharing your perforated pie pan discovery with us, AND for your generous give-away offer… I would love to try one of those pans, too!

  365. 365

    Paula Englert says

    That makes so much sense. I am surprised no one thought to make a pan like this years ago. Having one would really up my pie game. Thanks for the opportunity to win one.

  366. 366

    Toni O'Brien says

    Kevin, you are so generous! If I should win, may I receive one of your delicious pies IN the pan??? 🙂
    Love my Sunday mornings!

    Susan Johnston says

    Perfect timing! We had a lovely chicken pot pie just last night and it would have been amazing in this pan! Keep is posted about the other things you bake in it!!
    Could have used a bit more Dog though❣️

  369. 369

    Barbara Wright says

    This looks like a great invention, and just in time for holiday pies. Btw, your sourdough recipe and instructions are the best!

  372. 372

    Loanne says

    My husband is the pie baker at our house and he makes some of the world’s best crusts, but I’m sure this pan would put him over the top.

  375. 375

    Valerie C. says

    This surely would help me during the holidays and beyond. My pizza pan has holes in it and that works well too.

  376. 376

    Linda says

    Thank you for sharing this great pan. Soggy crusts really detract from a otherwise perfect pie. Just want to mention that I use Libby recipe and put it all in my blender to mix. Always comes out fine. Thanks again, Kevin.

  378. 378

    Deb Gallagher says

    Just made the butternut squash pie, huge hit from everyone!! This pan would do nicely with that pie!

  382. 382

    Cookbook Collector says

    I like to use an old fashion aluminum pie oven guard/drip pan directly under my pies in the oven… just set the pie pan directly on it. The 12″ diameter drip pan has a 4″ diameter hole in the center that allows the bottom of the pie pan to get direct heat. I’ve read where the new silicone rimmed hole has many problems because the silicon moves and leaks… where my old fashion one has 1/4″ simple rim that works great.

    I love your kitchenware recommendations… both the pros and cons. And also home appliance request for recommendations from your viewers… I learn a lot from all the comments. The 104 freezer comments/recommendations were running 1/3 chest to 2/3 upright. The biggest takeaway I had was learning about the term “garage ready” and what that meant. Thank you for your wonderful blog.

  386. 386

    Marty says

    Since retirement, I’m baking sooooo much more. I have all my Mom’s & Mom-in-law’s Recipes & luv it. Only
    Thing I haven’t mastered is a pie crust. It is either to wet on the bottom crust or too hard. Next recipe I’m trying is to use vodka. If the crust doesn’t turn out…I’ll just drink the rest of the bottle!!!

  387. 387

    Robin Shelly says

    Fabulous idea. I had to stop setting my pies on top of double bottomed cookie sheets if I didn’t want to be eating doughy bottom crust later!

    Since the season for pie is nigh I would love to win a pan that would ensure that my pie is indeed not soggy! Thanks for the opportunity to win this pan. Wanted to do a limerick, failed miserably!

    Adrian says

    Just curious- why do you use evaporated rather than regular milk??
    Love the pie pan idea.

    This would be so fantastic especially for fruit pies, which can get soggy. Thank you for doing this!

    Linda says

    You’re finally back in my “in box” – lost you there for awhile (happened twice since I last re-signed up). Maybe it’s my goofy gmail.

    I’m curious what the difference might be if you use fork pin pricks on the dough. Would this make the crust studier on both sides? Also, wondering if the butter drips through the holes onto your oven.

    BTW, I tried your crispy potatoes TWICE this week. OMG, they are good!

    I love Libby’s pumpkin pie. The only change I make is to use both white and brown sugar. The brown sugar give it a richer flavor. I also make pumpkin pie as a traditional Halloween dessert. A great way to celebrate the beginning of cooler weather in upstate NY. I would love to try the perforated pan!

  415. 415

    Louise says

    Look forward to your blog on Sunday, especially the video walkarounds and seeing the 4-legged fur babies. Have bookmarked many of your recipes and would love to try this “new-fangled” pie pan.

    Linda says

    What a great idea. I love pumpkin pie, coconut cream pie, but not the soggy crust. Love your videos! Always learning something new…even at the age of 75.

    Susan says

    I’ve never seen this before. I’d love to have a pie pan, having decided to replace my oldest baking tins. I enjoyed the video . And like others have noted, I really look forward to your Sunday newsletter.

  423. 423

    Marsha Lockhart says

    I never thought my pumpkin pie could be made any better, but I’d give the pan a try. Starting a pie at high heat, 425º for 15 min. then turning it down to bake, helps crisp the crust too.

    That looks like a great idea. Too bad it’s so expensive. I’ll have to keep an eye out for one at a lower price…maybe a thrift store? But why would anyone give it away??

    Lorena Keech says

    I used to make pies all the time but I seem to have lost my mojo. Maybe this would help bring it back.

    Hi Kevin
    I love your blog and many of your recipes have become our favorites. You are so darn down to earth and such a good teacher. I also love your humor
    Anyway back to the pie tin. If you like it then it must be very good. Good luck to me. Maybe I won’t have to go out and buy one.

    Hi. I’m Pat from entry 318 and 320. I did not intend to enter 2 times (and including this entry, now 3 times). My first entry was rejected. The reason given was that it was a duplicate comment. So I changed the comment and submitted it and then both showed up. I looked for a way to delete one of them but couldn’t do it. Sorry. I’m really not trying to enter 3 times. I love your website. The pie pan looks amazing. I’m definitely going to try to get one or more before my big pie day! I only shine once a year and it’s because of my beautiful delicious pies. Maybe I sparkle just a little bit at Christmas time because of my almost world famous cookie baking. It might sound like I’m bragging, but it’s really the only recognition I get. These are my only talents and accomplishments. No exciting career, no prestigious awards, no discoveries of any cures for any diseases large or small. Not even much to add to an interesting conversation beyond small talk (unless we’re discussing pie or cookie recipes or baking techniques). Thanks!

    My mother-in-law had some very old pie plates that had holes in them…and she baked with them for more than 80 years! I know that she said they were a very expensive gift from her parents when she turned 16. To have this kind of pie plate would be a real treat!

    Lee Hernandez says

    You’re right; ‘tis the season. I used to be the queen of pies in my family, but, alas, no more. I never recovered after having to stop using the now dreaded shortening. Maybe this would put me back on my throne!

    Carol Tracy says

    Wow Kevin, 441 viewers including me, so far. Congratulations!
    The pan looks like a great idea. What are your thoughts on fruit pies leaking through and can you imagine how nice a Graham Wafer crust would be? Mmmmm nummy! My favourite.
    Count me in for a “no more soggy crust” pie pan and as usual thanks again for the laugh.

    Veronica says

    When I saw this is a “deep dish” pie pan all I could think about is making deep dish pizza in it! If I win it I’ll try and let you know how it goes : )

    Shirley McKee says

    Well- I started out reading every reply, until I realized I had only read less than one fourth of them, and scrolled down to be in the 477 or so response. I am sure the pans will please everyone who wins, and then NO EXCUSE for not making great pies!

  506. 506

    Robbi says

    Soggy crusts spoil a pie for me and often keep me from attempting to bake a pie. Would love to own this!! By the way your biscuit recipe is so easy and delicious, we love it!

  507. 507

    Heather O'Shaughnessy says

    Great idea for a pan…why didn’t I think of it? lol. Honestly, I have struggled with pre-baking crusts for pies for years. Frozen ones always seem to not cook right unless you pre-bake them but then you risk having them be overcooked by the time the pie is done. I love your easy crust recipe and will try that with my next pie as well. Thanks for always having informative videos.

  509. 509

    Christina says

    Even though I’m not the cook at our house, I love reading your weekly emails. And what a wonderful surprise this would be for my hubby!

    What a clever pan! I’d love to use this to bake my pies. And, trying your recipe for the holidays! Thank you Kevin!

    Betty says

    Hi Kevin…I have used your pie crust recipe for several years…it never fails!
    When my husband and drive around our state, or further afield, we always look for places that have fabulous pies…a nice crust is hard to find sometimes.
    I am intrigued by this pan and would be very happy to win one!

    Esperanza says

    Kevin,
    I start my Sundays by reading your delicious, good for you recipes and enjoying the tours of your beautiful home. It gives me a very cozy feeling! Your are a very generous person, thank you for the opportunity to win an interesting Pie Pan. God bless you!

    DC says

    Wow – that’s a nifty idea! I remember old pie tins that you got when you bought a pie- had holes on the bottom only tho! This would also be good for a savory pie like potato leek. Or a deep dish pizza!!

  537. 537

    Kelly Malone says

    Wow – that pan is such a great idea. I’d love to win one and give it a try.
    Thanks.

    Nina Luisi says

    A great idea, especially for really wet fillings! We are pie people here. My daughter and I bake pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies for Thanksgiving every year. And we love ricotta pie, rhubarb, and lemon meringue in spring and summer. Thanks for sharing such a great product.

    Mo Steer says

    Simple solutions are always the best..who would have that to make a great pie you need a hokey bottom!

  548. 548

    Sue says

    Recently double baked a bottom crust and it was STILL soggy. Can’t have that. Would love to try this pan!

  549. 549

    Lori Beth says

    I hoarded some pumpin to make your recipe for Thanksgiving!! 🙂 Cannot WAIT. There are only two of us so I’m swapping the other pie with the neighbors for some of their “family recipe” baked goods. Kevin Lee Jacobs is my family recipe!

  551. 551

    Suzanne Urban says

    Hmmm, do others here think Kevin should start a petition declaring November National Pie Month? I can only imagine how wonderful your kitchen must smell right now, especially with a perforated pie pan, a brilliant idea! I’d love to try it! Thank you for this generous opportunity Kevin!

  552. 552

    Jane Palmer says

    What a great idea! I always look forward to your newsletters full of information on cooking and gardening, my two main activities when I’m not working.

  555. 555

    Christine Milo says

    I have my favorite pie quote by David Mamet hung up in my kitchen: “And we must have a pie.
    Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie”.
    A wonderful saying, especially during Covid times.

  556. 556

    Joyce Lantz says

    I plan to make your squash pie as it is a favorite. That pan would assure its success! I LOVE your recipes.

  557. 557

    Lisa A Fernandez says

    I would love to have one of these. As an amateur baker, I have not made another pie since I entered a contest last year and the judges said it had to soggiest bottom that they could not eat it. Needless to say, I was heart broken. Perhaps this pan could make me want to try baking a pie again.

  558. 558

    Kathi B says

    Looks like a great idea! Would love to win one. Thank you for all your great information.

  559. 559

    Cathy Yorio says

    My Aunt Lucy was the best cook in our family but she couldn’t make a good pie crust. Neither can I. Now I might have a chance with this pan!

  560. 560

    Jane Walsh says

    I would love to try this pan. I made you peanut butter cream pie for my own silver fox this weekend and it was AMAZING! Thank you for your constant culinary inspiration.

  563. 563

    mary gasal says

    I would love to skip the blind baking step! looks like a smart idea. I have pizza pans with the micro holes and the crust is always crisp

  566. 566

    Lee Palombo says

    I’ve been reading and watching your site for some time now, and your tips and insight into the yard, decorations, and helpful tips have saved my bacon on a number of times. I have used your recipes and dinner ideas and can’t say thank you enough. I would love to have one of these pans to make my pies in. It is a unique concept that I have never seen. Have a great day and keep the suggestions and recipes coming. I look forward to your email all the time.

  571. 571

    Irene says

    My daughter usually bakes the pumpkin pie, but this Thanksgiving she will be working. So I will have to step up and would appreciate having this pan.

  573. 573

    Lori M says

    I enjoyed the video you posted – thanks! What a fabulous and ingenious idea for a great pie pan…love it – hope I win one to use at Thanksgiving!

  575. 575

    Fran Ewing says

    It would be so nice not to have to use pie weights anymore. I hate soggy crust in my quiche. I like how you folded your pie crust in fourths before you put it in the pan. I always learn new tricks from you. Thank you

  577. 577

    kathleen says

    Where do you find all these wonderful things? I’ve been baking for 50 years and never seen anything like this pan. Even if I don’t win, thank you for sharing your secrets

  582. 582

    Kim Russell says

    I’ve been using for years a pizza pan that is kind of on the same idea – it works pretty well, so I’m eager to try this pie pan! Your recommendations are so spot on! It’s been such fun to try your methods and great ideas. Always good. I’m a huge fan.

  583. 583

    Victoria Baldwin says

    I love pie!! This is such a great idea for pie crust and I would love to try this pan. Thanks for introducing me to it. 🙂

    Margo says

    Too cool for school!!! Why hasn’t anyone thought of this perforated idea before???
    Have to get one. Thanks Kevin

  585. 585

    LilyGrace says

    Did someone day pie? I used to be The Queen of Pies — every year, every holiday. Now, I am the Princess of Pies; however, I thought I was moving to Never Never Land, but that didn’t happen, and I gave away all by baking stuff believing I would have no need for it in Never Never Land. So, this pie pan would certainly be a welcomed addition to my empty baking supply cabinet.

  588. 588

    Kate says

    I usually throw a tablespoon of dry breadcrumbs in the pie pan first but this looks really good.

  590. 590

    Anne Scheuring says

    Kevin,
    Looks delish! You made my mouth water so I better get to the kitchen and get started making a few pies today.
    Thank you for all the wonderful recipes.

    Hi Kevin, thanks for all of your helpful tips, recipes, and great attitude and cheer! I love getting your emails and have made a number of your recipes. All the best to you, your partner and pup!

    Lee says

    Hi I have a little one that I bought in Birmingham England three years ago to make quiche and it works wonderful and washes up easily but I never thought about a larger one for a pie I bet it turned out great thank you for your post I look forward to them

  600. 600

    Lydia says

    Kevin, I always enjoy your blog and website. I have learned so much! Would love to try this pie pan and banish soggy pie crust from my life!

  601. 601

    Rhonda E Strahler says

    What a great idea! The crust is the best part of any pie! In fact, I could (and do) just make cinnamon roll ups so there is LOTS OF CRUST!!

  602. 602

    Sandra Jean Woolfenden says

    About to cook my Halloween pumpkin soon, then will use it for our Thanksgiving pie. I always freeze the pulp to use in breads and cookies throughout the year. The pan sounds like a great idea, thanks for demonstrating it, as well as the opportunity to win one!

  612. 612

    Pearl Geiger says

    what a great Idea!I live in Canada, Hope I am eligible to win. Like your site Kevin.

  613. 613

    Carla Phoenix says

    I remember store bought pies with perferated tins, back in the 1960s. I was a little girl and never thought of the reasons for the holes. “Everything old is new again”.
    Once again, thank you for a chance to win something so practical. Head scratches to your wee kitty.

  614. 614

    Jane Ecker says

    Kevin,
    I appreciate all instructions that I receive through your website.
    I am 72 years old & still trying to learn how to bake well.
    Thank you

  615. 615

    Jan Evancho says

    Great idea! Why didn’t I think of this? I might try drilling holes in the bottom of one of my old pie pans to see if it works. Sign me up for the giveaway, just in case it doesn’t. (Kevin, you are getting so many followers, the odds of winning grow worse & worse. Good for you; bad for us!

  618. 618

    Allison Koster says

    I’m always gun-shy about making pie–I go to all the work of making pie crust, and then half the time it turns out pale and soggy, or slumps, or….

  619. 619

    Kim Kelderman says

    Finally!! A solution to soggy bottoms! Pie crusts should be crisp all around. Love your posts, Kevin!

  621. 621

    claudia travis says

    And we’ve waited how long to figure this out?? What a great idea! Would love to test bake this baby!

  637. 637

    Susan Byers Paxson says

    Could it be possible? No more having to bake a “blind” before making pumpkin or lemon meringue? Oh, baby, where do I sign up?

  638. 638

    Petera Mironchik says

    *I would love this pan to share with my 17 year old grandson who makes the most perfect pie crusts. Must be in his fingers. He makes the crusts while I do the fillings. Truthfully he helps with the fillings too. His favorite is blueberry pie while his 15 year old brother makes one great apple pie.

  642. 642

    Marsha says

    Great looking crust! Always my favorite part of pie. As a kid I always asked for birthday pie instead of cake.

  643. 643

    Elspeth Greer says

    Thanks for this chance to win, and improve my pie reputation. (not good right now.). Love your posts. How is Kitty doing?

  644. 644

    Dianne Holzman says

    Wow, this looks like a great idea, I hate soggy pie crusts!
    This might make me want to eat the crust…which might not be the best idea!

  645. 645

    Cairn says

    This looks great! My daughter and I would have fun trying recipes in this. Thanks for the chance to win.

  649. 649

    Margit says

    I was curious about the cute little circles on the bottom of the crust made by the holes in the pan. Was it hard to get out of the pan? Can’t really tell if the crust went through the holes or stayed on top.

  650. 650

    sue says

    oh WOW what a great pan !! for anyone who bakes pies the soggy bottom is the bane of the baker especially when doing a 2 crust pie.
    This looks amazing and well worth the cost
    Thanks Kevin for this post and video, couldn’t have come at a better time 🙂

  651. 651

    Mary Hoffert says

    Amazing that I’ve never seen this before. I hate a soggy crust. Thanks for introducing this.

  652. 652

    Juliana says

    Like many, I hate a soggy bottom on my pies. I would love one of these pans to try out and fix the soggy results I frequently get. Thanks and thanks also for all the great recipes, Kevin!

  654. 654

    Pat says

    Sounds like a fabulous pan And pies are my very favorite for dessert. Plus your pumpkin pie looks delicious!

  656. 656

    Michelle Guertin says

    This looks like an amazing product! I’d love to try it. Thanks for the chance, and yes I’ll probably buy one anyway. 🙂

  657. 657

    Georgette Tefoe says

    Fabulous find. It seems like a simple solution for it to take so long for someone to come up with this idea. I would love to try out this pan and thank you for the video too, pumpkin pie is one of my favorites.

  658. 658

    Lise Gray says

    i hope it’s not too late to enter, but i saw this perforated pie plate, thought , ” i need to buy one of these. How awesome, as my crusts sometimes are not completely cooked! hope my name can be put into the draw. Thank you for the pie recipe also, it looks delicious.

  659. 659

    susan hinkle says

    OK Kevin, before I donate all my lovely porcelain pie plates and pie weights, do you have any recycling ideas? Maybe meatloaf in the round. Cornbread would work. Why did I not think of a pierced pie pan? Thanks for the update!

  660. 660

    Patt Reid says

    Wow, gotta get up early to beat all your fans to the punch. I’ve about given up on good pie crust. I don’t know what my mom’s secret…well, that’s a lie…but she made the best pies with the lightest of crusts, perfectly but lightly browned. I was raised on a farm, grandpop was a butcher. He would render perfect lard for mom and grammy’s pies. And the 2nd mandate was, “don’t handle it too much”.
    Can your pie pan help me?

  661. 661

    Debbie says

    Table Talk had perforated pie pans. I have 2 old ones (1-a New England Flaky Crust Table Talk, 2-a Mrs. Robinson’s Table Talk). These were used for pies sold to restaurants. They are both had a deposit.

  662. 662

    gloria says

    My grandmother made perfect pie crusts every time-I watched her and took notes-No comparison to hers- This little item may do the trick!

  664. 664

    Melody says

    Oh Darn the luck! I put one in my Amazon cart last night but didn’t buy it. I went in today and all GONE! Let me know if anyone has any idea where to get something like this. They are avail in UK and Europe but not here. Darn! It was the perfect birthday gift for my pie making sister!
