(Okay, I supposedly added the photo but it’s not showing up on my view of the post.)
I read recently that stoneware pie pans do by far the best job of making the crusts turn out crisp.
There was an art fair in San Mateo this weekend and my potter friends Mel and Kris were going to be there, and when I asked a few weeks ago if they ever make pie plates, Mel decided to throw some clay on his wheel for me and, literally, give it a whirl.
It’s gorgeous. They and their sons do such nice work. It’s 9″ on the inside bottom, 10″ at the top. I’m already regretting that I only bought one: there were two, with Mel saying he always makes more than what people request because there’s always going to be someone else who wants one.
There is a potluck tomorrow night.
Now I just have to decide what type of pie to make, and I am very open to any suggestions and favorites.
