Wade Ceramics Pie Funnel | Blackbird

For over 120 years, bakers have used pie funnels to vent steam from pies during baking. Without proper venting, steam from the hot pie filling is trapped and permeates the top crust, preventing a crisp and flaky finished result. The pie funnel draws steam up like a chimney and out the vent hole, thereby reducing the moisture beneath the crust. The pie funnel’s shape also provides a natural support for the top crust, keeping it supported as the filling cooks down. Simply set the pie funnel on the bottom crust before adding your pie filling. Place your top crust over the filled pie and create a slit in the center of the crust so the pie funnel can pass through and properly vent the pie during baking. This porcelain pie funnel from Wade Ceramics features a hand-painted blackbird with a vent hole at the top. The durable Pie Funnel (Blackbird) is safe for use in the oven or microwave, and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
