The tart would be larger than I envision. You can make the pie dough and make sure you don't stretch it putting in in the pan. Flute the edges, prick bottom and sides with a fork, then bake according to pie shell directions. When you go about making pies, you will find the plastic patterns just a bit too small. Cut both top and bottom larger so that the crusts can be sealed before fluting. One pan can satisfy both needs.

Did you wait enough time before taking off the lid 'carefully'...all recipe's stress this. I have the 9 and 13 inch pans...this was the BEST recipe I've found, it is for the 13", but the fewer 'specialty' ingredients seem to work better...I searched and cannot find the site, but for the large pan 4 3/4 AP, 1 2/3 water, yeast, 1 Tbl salt, 1 Tbl sugar 1/2 stick butter...that's it...rise in bowl, put in pan cover with wrap till 1/2 inch from top, cover and bake 25 mins 350...carefully remove top..another 20 mins or so (some say check internal temp)..forget the milk, eggs and other stuff...hope it helps

I have a glass cooktop and I love this pan on it. Just don't use very high heat, it will warp.

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 am hoping you're using a crust first? There are a few well informed articles on the net aka southernliving.com regarding how to properly use a tart pan.

I have not tried to do mini-pies so can not answer; sorry. Using bread and fruit is the closest I have come...it is like a turnover with a mini-pie taste.

I just made a Pecan Pie using Maple syrup and by unanimous vote it was the best pie we'd ever eaten. I used a cup of maple syrup and a tablespoon of molasses (I used grade A syrup in that recipe). If you used the grade B you wouldn't need to add molasses for more flavor. Try it! You'll like it!

It has been years since I used a metal pie pan. I can tell you that I notice no difference, the crust always bakes and stays crisp even in a deep dish apple pie. And the clean up is a breeze with Corelle. I don't alter the oven temperature even though it is considered a glass dish. For most baking such as cakes I do but not for pie.

Many questions and disappointments for people it seam that are buying these pie pans.. Its simple they are a 5 inch round pie pan with a one and half inch depth.. If you have no problems with these dimensions fine.. The price on these pans are a bargain. The pans are easy to clean after baking. I personally use them for fruit pies.. If you think you can find better pans for a better price great. Share the information if you can, I'm sorry I can't be any use to you other to tell you the old aluminum pie pans are no longer made for the past 25 years that I know of. You may find someone that will custom make them out of glass or find a second hand set.. Hope this helps you all.

I sprayed the pan like crazy with the cooking spray that contains flour and oil-Pam makes one, Bakers Joy (?), and William Sonoma has a brand. just spray and spray and spray. I have several kinds of pans and they all come out beautifully...hope I'm not jinxing myself. It took me much longer than I anticipated to frost and decorate the train -but it came out darling! have fun!

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse the ingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon as the dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

YES! Make sure your butter is VERY cold (I put mine in the freezer for awhile) so it doesn't gum up. The HB does a fine job for making pie crust dough.

I have, once. Haven' t quite figured out right temp/ cooking time. But I am happy to have bought a 6 inch, since most of time I only bake for 2 people. I'll soon try another cheese cake. Form cleans up niceley.

It depends on how deep your pie pan is. I have the regular 9" pans (not deep-dish,) and I roll the crust out to about 1" from the edges and it fits perfectly. The crust is roughly 1/8" thick, at the most. If I were to need a bigger crust, I would probably increase my recipe, because I can't imagine a crust much thinner than that!

I didn't use the pan for flan. I used it for Deep dish fruit pies. But I still wrap it with foil and place it on a jelly roll pan. xoCarole

I used it for custard pie. It was a little bland so I'll try adding an egg yellow and a little vanilla next time.
