This is SO much easier to use than tin foil and keeps my pie crusts from getting burnt every time! It is a MUST have!

Love my pie shields !! Ordered 3 because we never only make 1pie. My crust edges are never going to be burned or bitter again. Beautiful uniform golden color across entire crust of pie. Bought a set for my mother in law first and she loved hers too.

I swear by these shields. When baking a cherry pie, I had used the shield to prevent a burned crust, (forget the part about ‘stopping the pie from bubbling over’) but when I removed it with about 15 minutes left to go the filling almost did ‘escape’ from the pie and make a real mess in the oven. It is so lightweight that it will not effect any crust designs. I am using the 9″ on my 9″ pie pans and have no problems at all, the fit is perfect. I would recommend the shields highly.

I am a long time pie baker and usually make at least 20 pies around thanksgiving time. I used to use strips of cloth (old sheets etc) that had been wet and then wrapped around the fluted edge of pies to keep the fluted edge (usually on two crust pies) from getting too brown. But that sometimes ripped the edge off when you removed it. Then I used strips of aluminum foil, but those had trouble staying on. After that I had some disposable aluminum pie shields that someone gave me, but they were for 10″ pies and my pies were 8 or 9″ so I had to fold them down. After using each one many times, they were really cruddy. So when I saw these I thought I would try them. They came through great this thanksgiving and they washed up really well as well, so they should stand up to many uses. My only complaint (hence the 4 stars instead of the 5) is that they do not fit over the fluted edge of a 9″ pie! On a pie, the fluted edge (properly done) is not inside the edge, but sitting ON the edge, so the pie shield needs to be a bit bigger than the size of the pie tin. These are 9 1/4″ so you think this would be fine, right? But, no…if you measure a 9″ pie tin, it is 9″ from the inside. If you measure from edge to edge of the outside, it is closer to 10″. So these shields worked great on my 8″ Marie Callendar pie tins, but did NOT work on my 9″ pie tins. The moral of the story is, you need to order the 10″ size for your 9″ pie plates. I have glass 9″ pie plates and also the wonderful stainless steel pie plates that Amazon sells so inexpensively. Hope this helps.

I purchased these for work as I have a set of pie shields at home and love them. The only problem with these is that they state they are for a 9″ pie, but actually are for a 8″ pie. They are an inch to short to even go over the pie crust. I had to send them back and order some that are 10.5″. measure the pie plate you will be using before ordering These
