Glass pie plates are the most commonly used among bakers. They’re inexpensive and easy to find.
Most metal pie plates are made of aluminum, although there are plenty of stainless steel varieties too.
Usually the most ornate of all the types of pie plates, ceramic makes a beautiful serving piece.
•Size matters:An 8-9-inch pie plate is usually the ideal size. Some of the newer pie dishes range from 9 1/2-10-inches and these tend to produce deep, sloppy pies. The deeper the pie plate, the more filling it will need. Otherwise you’ll have an odd-looking amount of crust sticking up above the filling.
•Blind Baking:Because of the less slippery surface and its excellent ability to conduct heat, aluminum pie plates are ideal for blind baking.
•Try Not to Use Disposable Aluminum: These are great if you’re baking a pie for someone or some event where you don’t want to worry about getting your pie plate back. However, they’re flimsy and don’t look that great. They also don’t promote even heating of the pie crust. So, while they’re definitely not terrible, if you have better, use it.
