Is the person in the picture baking a necklace pie?

They are pie weights. They are used to keep the pie crust from puffing up in the middle and shrinking among other things. They are used when baking a single crust to fill it later.

She says she regrets that while making a banana cream pie. She changed the channel with the remote to watch the news. After that she says no idea what happened to the remote. How ever the pie tasted a bit tastier then usual.

Wayne, I never measured the finished pies. They don't last long enough for me to do something like that, my family snatches them off the plate.But I would ask -- measure from rim to rim or from where the filling is?Be well,D

I have not baked a pie on mine, but am very pleased with the quality. I bought mine to use in my countertop convection oven and it has held up very well.

I don't remember how many instructions but some basic baking times at least. I've had it awhile. But baking times were not quite right for me. You may need to experiment.

The picture shows the glaze that is put on the clay after it is baked in the oven. Sculpey clay needs to be baked

Tammy, I can't answer that question. I saw it and just knew I wanted to own it. I'm making preparation for when I'm able to bake in my very own kitchen again. I've not really been home since Hurricane Katrina. So once the slicer arrived I just put it in storage with the rest of my new home items. I never even opened the box. For all I know its just stuffed with parchment paper. Sorry, wish I could be of more help.Barbara in New Orleans

No, the inside is "bare" stone, no glaze or coating on it. I made one pie in mine and the crust really stuck to the stone and it was difficult to clean - however, it may be that it just needs to be seasoned some...

No, it is not non-stick. This aluminum pie shield is constructed of non-teflon or other non-stick coated or anodized aluminum. That being said, I've used mine for 20 years without any problems. The one time that pie filling baked onto the pie shield, I tossed it in the dishwasher and it came clean.

I would preheat the stones and assemble on parchment paper. Once the stone is to the desired temp you can slide the pie onto the stone.

Yes. I put it in disposable aluminum pie pans, then in the oven at lowest temp setting (170F on my oven) If you can keep the depth of beads to about 1/4 inch, it will dry (turn back to blue) in about an hour. If the layer is thicker, you will need to leave it in the oven longer. It helps to stir the beads every 15 minutes or so.

I've only made the one small cake recipe, but would think a pie crust would work too. I just can't say through experience.

Hello Erika - No, I don't use the basket to bake it. I use it only for proofing the bread.

yes it is, but i'm not sure if all the details will come out when you bake it. the directions are weird. they tell you to use melted chocolate. ??? I never did use it.

Yes the marble is the colure it shows in the picture. However when I received my pastry board it was broken, the company sent a replacement, but it was also broken.
