what size alum. pie tin would be needed for these? (read that using the pie tin helps the pie keep its shape during baking)

I wouldn't bother with a pie tin, these end up more like little pasties or tarts then actual pies.

Use a standard 9 inch pie pan. However, only one mini pie will fit in the center of the pie tin while baking. It would also fit into a 7 inch mini pie tin. When formed, the mini pie is about 4.5 inches across.

I suggest the Pie Pan by Chicago sold on Amazon for 21.25 called The Chicago Metallic Non-Stick Cup Pie set. The diameter of each mini pie is 4 1/4 inches, and the diameter of the Norpro 1042 Lattice Mini Pie Mold is about that size. So it'll be a pretty good fit. If however you don't want to use this pan, You can purchase Mini individual pie pans at places like Sur La Tabla and Williams Sonoma. Hope this helps answer your question.

They are regular sized possibly a bit bigger. I don't use mine for baking so i can't say. I use them to make wax melts. I have another set though for baking and I washed them before usage and had zero issues. These are thick silicone and made well.

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

I've used aluminum and tin. Both need to be hand washed and dryed. Glass doen't take as long to bake. I didn't like the strips. If the oven is the right temp I have not had any problems no matter what pan I use. I don't think you would have 2 use them on glass cause of the thickness of the dish and the lower temp. hope it helps.

I have this oven and The largest pan possible would be 14 3/4 wide by 10 1/4 inches deep and 6 1/2 high. That is MAX and there wouldn't be much room for air flow at that size. A regular cookie sheet doesn't fit due to the handles. A normal casserole pan does fit and pie plates work fine. I cook bread in mine regularly and it does 2 loaves at once easily. Best to rotate them after 30 mins as the back can be a bit hotter.

These are oval shaped and not designed for round pies. If you use the bowls it comes with that would be fine, but you can't put them in the oven. You end up needing to make something more like a no bake cheesecake / pudding type. Try looking at some of Wilton's stands.

the pie irons were bought as a gift to someone else, and I haven't heard them say what they have used. Tortillas would probably work great.

Debra, they should work ok. Just cut your pie crust into circles to fit. Gently press the dough against the sides, to ensure your shape. You could use a cream cheese pie crust and simply press them in place without cutting them into shape. When removed from the units the pies will have a cute scalloped edge, looks like a little flower. Enjoy

I have two sized pie plates, one is just short of 9 inches across and the other is just short of 10 inches across the top. I just use the smaller one for the smaller plate and the larger one for the larger plate. You have to take into consideration the MOUNDS of filling under the top crust, that helps steady it.

I have only used them for cakes and they're great. I would try a blind bake pie, bake the shell only and fill with a custard of some sort. That way, if it doesn't work, you haven't list much...use a refrigerated pie crust. I think it may work.

Absolutely tiny. I got these for personal pot pies and they're definitely too small to be anything but tiny tarts if you're Baking. Or maybe an art project?

My round metal tsp. does not fit. My plastic tapered tsp. fits. I like these because I fill them from bulk, and they fit my kitchen. The last time I followed a recipe was for finals. Please, oh please be smarter than the tool. Cheers,

An easy 10 inch pie and it will take extra filling will need to make crust bigger than 10inch to have a great formed crust to fit neatly always will need extra filling and crust to allow for shrinkage for both I hope this answers the question and is helpful!

I THINK they'd work okay... depends on the kind of pie I suppose. Something that will solidify a little like a pumpkin or pecan pie should do fine. Something wobbly like an apple or cherry might not hold up well. As long as you spray the cup with a lot of oil or non-stick spray I think they'd work alright.

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.

I love my whisk. I don't know how I baked without it. I doubt Sour Dough will harm the stainless steel... Mine seems pretty tough, showing no wear after heavy use. As for size... I have only used the 14" whisk, but I am a 6'1" bread baker. The 11" whisk may work better if you are more petite.

Hi Cathy. I used pint jars just fine. I'm sure half pint (jelly jars) will be fine as well. Have fun!
