Best Crust Ever
I bought a set of these pans and a fancy glazed stoneware pan at a local store. The crust on the pies made with these pans was better than any other pan I've tried, hands down. Even my pumpkin pies have a crisp flaky bottom. I put the pies on a cookie sheet to bake, and have only had 1 leak from the perforation in several years of use. I bought a second set from Amazon (no problem with the order). I've been asked to send some pies to a relative's house for Thanksgiving, so I'm ordering some more pans.
My only criticism is that they discolored very rapidly. It doesn't seem to effect the performance, but they aren't pretty at the table. However, the crust turns out so much better with these pans that I never use the decorative pans I have.
Beware! A different item ships when you order this.
The item shipped to me by Amazon.com had a manufacturer's sticky label identifying it as "Chicago Metallic Commercial II Traditional Uncoated 9-Inch Perforated Pie Pans, Set of 2." That is what I had ordered. However, the pans I received were not perforated.
I arranged to exchange the pans I had received for the correct item, and I made the nature of the error quite clear in my phone conversation with the customer service person. I received the replacement item promptly, but it was identical to the one I had originally received - un-perforated and mis-labeled.
I have ordered Chicago Metallic products before from Amazon.com and been very happy with them. The company obviously mis-labeled this product. Moreover, Amazon.com obviously didn't check the product either before stocking it or before packing it for shipment to me, even when I had brought the error to their attention.
Who said, "Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting a different...
Perfect pie pans
I know little about pie baking, but I know these pans are high quality and should last as long as you take care of them for a very long time.
