Know before you buy
Yes, the heavy-gauge steel underbody is excellent for heat conduction, which helps achieve a crisp, evenly browned bottom crust for both sweet and savory pies.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the hand-painted enamel finish, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying it thoroughly.
No, the enamel surface is not nonstick. We recommend greasing the plate well or using parchment paper to ensure your pie slices release cleanly.
No, this pie plate is not suitable for microwave or freezer use. It is designed specifically for oven baking.
The enamel glaze is durable, but because it is hand-painted, it should be handled with care. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers to keep the Sterling Check design looking its best.
