I'm terrible. I just ordered one of these. Well, actually I think I ordered 2 because I didn't get a confirmation page after I hit submit order...it just said my shopping cart was empty so I sent it through again. Oh well. It's not like I don't bake often.But the bad thing is that I ordered this because of Alton. It's all his fault. The other night I was up late, flipping channels because I couldn't sleep. I stumbled upon Alton making an apple pie. I'm not obsessed with Apple Pie or anything.
Anyway, Alton makes his in a tart pan because then the sides automatically crimp and you can remove the whole pie from the pan and cut it easier. Interesting... I would think this would make it difficult to transport but since I don't usually share my pies anyway, I shouldn't have a problem.
The other thing Alton talked about on his show was using a pie bird to help with the steam issue in fruit pies. I don't have a pie bird, but I would love one. Does anyone know where I could find one? Or, if you're so inclined, my birthday is coming up and I'll just add that to my hope list.
