Know before you buy
Yes, the shield is fully adjustable and designed to fit any pie pan ranging from 9 to 11 inches in diameter.
You can, but it is most effective when placed on the crust at the start of baking to prevent over-browning. If you prefer a darker crust, you can remove it during the final 10 to 15 minutes of the bake.
The shield is oven-safe up to 400°F. If your recipe requires a higher temperature, we recommend using the shield only during the portion of the bake where the oven is set to 400°F or lower.
The shield should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents can damage or discolor the aluminum finish.
It consists of interlocking segments that can be connected to fit your specific pan size. This modular design also allows you to take it apart for compact, easy storage in your kitchen drawers.
