Deal of Day, Yay!
Bought these for my Mother in law, and I wish I could have grabbed 2, one for me. It is a nice pie set and turned out to be a bit bigger than I expected. Sturdy, durable, able to use in dishwasher and oven, and cleans up easily.
Durable, beautiful and timeless
As expected, these Le Creuset stoneware dishes are quite durable. The glaze finish produces a great shine while resisting any marks normally made by knives, forks, etc. The cherry red color matches my cherry cast iron Le Creuset set very well, despite the different materials used in each piece.
As far as experience, I've only had the chanced to make one pie so far and the final product created by this dish produced was noticable better than that created by my pie tins and pyrex dishes. It also reduced my cook time by around 6-8 minutes so be sure to watch your first few pies well while you get used to these dishes.
The petite pie dies are pretty great...they are perfect for single servings of various savory pies. You should expect these to be in your family for years to come.
Great for all kinds of pies and tarts
This is a particularly nice set for pies, especially if you like pot pies. You can adapt leftovers and various crusts to make a nice hot dinner that looks fabulous but costs very little. Turkey time (Thanksgiving and Christmas) mean leftover meats, and these can be turned into a "better than reheated" dish that most people enjoy. And the rest of the year, when chicken, turkey, even salmon or vegetables are on sale or getting long in the tooth in the fridge, you can concoct a pie in this big dish that is economical and very tasty.
The reason this dish works so well is that it is sort of a casserole as well as being a pie dish. Two smaller mini-pie or tart pans come with, though I though four would have been nicer as part of the set. But you can always add a few more tart dishes if they are popular with your household.
To make a leftover cooked meat pie, simple make up a roux or bechamel (white sauce with butter, flour, milk and seasoning) or use canned cream soup...
