The Pie Bird blends a centuries-old fairy tale rhyme with function for baking pies without the top crust collapsing. This whimsical Pie Bird, also known as a pie vent, pie funnel, pie chimney, or pie whistle, allows steam to escape from the juices of meat and fruit pies while they bake to keep the pie fillings from bubbling over and baking onto the racks or oven floor. Steam escapes through the bird?s vented beak while the flat base adds stability during use. Whether learning how to make meat pie or perfecting a fruit pie from scratch, this hero of baking accessories works hard to keep delicious filling inside the crust where it belongs.
Easy to use. Simply drape bottom crust in the pie dish, place the Pie Bird in the center, and spoon in the pie filling. Add the top crust, cut a small hole so the Pie Bird protrudes, then pinch the crust around the bird's shoulders so that it;s supported and won't collapse inward while it bakes. Bake pie according to recipe. Allow the bird to cool slightly before removing it. It will be hot. Made from fine porcelain that's free from lead and cadmium, Mrs. Anderson's Pie Bird is strong, durable, heat safe (to 600-degrees Fahrenheit), and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
