Description

The Pie Bird may be old-fashioned, but this time-honored baker's tool has turned out countless delicious pies over the course of centuries. The hollow pie bird vents steam from the filling as it cooks, preventing the contents from boiling over, while arches on the bottom redirect excess moisture to keep the bottom crust from becoming soggy. Crafted from durable premium stoneware in a variety of our iconic colors, the vibrant enamel glaze resists cracking, scratches and is dishwasher-safe.

I just received this little bird today - it's quite well made and looks super cute sitting in my kitchen. I've just recently been on a pie making kick with the warmer weather and I look forward to using this and will make sure I update my review once I do.The bird is very hollow to allow it to collect and release steam but still feels solid. It comes with very detailed instructions on how to use it including how to pierce the top crust in case you're not feeling creative enough to just dive in. I have been very happy with all of my Le Creuset purchases and this is no exception. According to the box it's 3 1/2" high and safe to use between 500 and -65 degrees Fahrenheit. It says there is a five year guarantee as well.If you like whimsical things in your kitchen this bird will not disappoint! I purchased the white version and will likely get the red and blue in the future.**UPDATE**I used this little bird to make a strawberry pie a few days ago. It was a double crust pie, so I set the bird on the bottom layer of crust and placed the strawberries around it. When putting on the top layer of crust, I pushed it down over the bird's beak so that it could properly vent the pie, leaving the bird's little head poking out of the center of the pie. It went through the trip in the 450 degree oven (to set the bottom crust) to the remaining 45 minutes at 350 degrees without complaint.I washed it in the dishwasher in the silverware rack (it's a bit too small to sit properly elsewhere) and it came out clean. Surprisingly, it never really got all that dirty due to the way it's designed to sit on the bottom crust and have the filling placed around it. When using this bird, I noticed that it seems to vent the pie better - all of my previous pies with fork prick vents only have bubbled up through the sides of the crust to some extent. The maiden bird pie did not have that problem.The only downside is that the bird leaves a hole in the middle of the pie when removed for cutting...but if you really like pie you're too busy cutting a huge slice to notice!
