Pie Dishes? Where can I get them?

skylight · 5 November 2005 at 1:05AM

I've tried Tescos, Wilkos and can't find them.

I want some tin foil type ones that I can freeze easily, and re-use, rather than heavy/expensive glass/porcellin type ones.

If anyones up, let me know!

PS and, I have a tin of cream mushroom condensed soup in the cupboard. Can I mix that with my chicken pieces and put it in the pie?? I'm never going to use it otherwise.

Lakeland do foil pie dishes. I've also seen them in Tescos ... they are in the aisle where the plastic food bags are (not where the baking trays are etc.). Also if you have a hardware store locally (the type that sells kitchen bits and pieces as well as DIY tools) they will probably stock them too.

I'm not sure that tin foil dishes are easily re-usable..??

And yes to the condensed chicken soup - you might have to add some liquid to it - maybe another half a can - to get a decent consistency.

Pound shops?

The oldstyle metal pie plates (white with blue edges) aren't too expensive (just over a £1 each) and are reusable. You can get these cheap in some of the less fancy cookshops / mini department stores / hardware shops. (If anyone lives near York, Boyes have them).

Apparently, according to Jamie O, metal pie plates cook the pastry better (conducts heat more quickly throught the bottom of the plate) ... seems to work with my metal pie dish.

I have collected my small pie dishes in glass, and the little oval brown china ones from boot-sales.Over the years I have accumulated about a dozen or so. As the weather has turned cold and the bootsales have stopped for the winter try jumble sales.They are usuall about 20-30p each and very good value. I have never thought it was money saving to buy something to throw away afterwards.Plus of course the china ones are so much easier to clean.They make a perfect one portion size and all my left over foods, when cold, go in to them, and then straight to the freezer.

Charlotte I have PM'd you some details.

I've always got mine from Wilkos, I'd ask at customer service if you can't find them?

John Lewis sell both types - but might be more expensive. Then again, you might get something that will last for a long time and therefore save money in the long run!
