There's just something about a pie, isn’t there? It's as equally humble as it is impressive to bake and eat. And probably the sweetest part of it all is that there are the best pie recipes for every season, occasion, and preferred flavor. But if you're going to put in the effort and time, it's so important to have a pie pan that's up for the challenge, especially as we head into peak baking season. So, to make sure you don't face a dessert disaster this year, we've curated this list of the best pie pans in 2023.
When choosing your perfect pan, you'll want to consider a few things. Materials like ceramic, stoneware, and tempered glass are usually the best options for functionality. But you also want the best bang for your buck. Many of our picks are reasonably priced and still work they way they should. With high-quality, durable designs, they'll heat your baked goods evenly and deliver the most delicious golden-brown crusts. Many are also nonstick and safe in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher, making them easy to handle and clean. You'll also find beautiful designs and ruffled edges perfect for shaping your crust.
Browse below to find a pan that fits all of your pie baking needs. With these picks, the only thing you'll have to worry about is which flavor to make first. (This list of Thanksgiving pies is a great place to start.) Now it's time to grab a rolling pin, your favorite baking tools, and achieve pie perfection!
This pan has everything from durable tempered glass for even heating to a wide rim that doubles as an easy-to-grab handle and a guide for making fluted crusts. It's also dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and preheated-oven safe.
