Know before you buy
The vent acts as a chimney, allowing excess steam to escape from the center of the pie while it bakes. This prevents the filling from bubbling over and helps ensure the bottom crust stays crisp rather than becoming soggy.
Yes, the stoneware construction is oven-safe up to 450°F, which covers the temperature range for most standard pie recipes.
Yes, the piece is dishwasher safe. Because it is hand-enameled, we recommend placing it securely in the rack to avoid chipping against other dishes.
At 3.3 inches tall, the vent is designed to sit in the center of most standard-depth pie dishes. Just ensure your pie crust is deep enough to support the vent upright as the filling sets.
Yes, the stoneware material is microwave safe, making it versatile if you need to reheat a slice or use the vent for other culinary applications.
