No-one makes pies????

Hi, the lady in Lakeland was talking rubbish, Lakeland DO sell pie dishes. I bought mine there.
Here's the "easy as pie" set, which is a pie tin, plus an insert if you want to blind bake the pastry http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!5867

This is the photo from the listing - the tin in my cupboard look identical. Is this really a pie dish? If it is then I already have one!

As far as I know that shape is indeed a pie tin. The rim has a edge for nipping the pasty together.

As for making pies, well I've been cooking from scratch now for about two months and I made a vegetable pie, which was very nice. I didn't have one of those pie tins. I bought a deep oval pirex dish from Tesco's.

It wouldn't suit the usual pie, but in this case, you made the mixture in a saucepan then put the pasty lid on top and finished off in the oven. Soit didn't have a base.

*I've know idea if thats how you normally do it

Lakeland also have deep pie dishes made by Mason Cash for £5.95 (I'll try and post a link but if it doesn't work just type 'pie dish' into the search box).

Methinks she was having you on!! FF

I sometimes wonder if Lakeland have more/different stock online than they have in their stores

I made a pie last night from my lovely new pie book !(my lovely mum bought it for me ).The cook ware shop in Worcester sells all sorts of enamel plates and bowls as well as all sorts of Mason Cash stuff. Whenever Lakeland fails me I go there, in fact I don't bother with Lakeland now as so often they have stopped stocking the product I'm after.I don't know why the staff are trained to ask if you found everything you were looking for, they must get a lot of negative replies :rolleyes:

The pie book for anyone interested is this one (I believe it's cheaper from the Book People)

Thanks for that. I never realised I had a pie dish either. :rotfl: I must have had it from my grandma's. Must make a pie now.

thriftlady - you've done it again you know:p I ordered the Paupers Cookbook last night because of you:p (just love the New England Cookbook)

I have lots of the enamel pie 'plates' - everytime mum bakes me a fruit pie I forget to give her her dish back:o

Ivyleaf - if you at Bluewater, I have noticed John Lewis selling enamel stuff. Might have a pie plate.

I got a stoneware pie plate from Pampered Chef which I am very pleased with, but they do not seem to sell it anymore.

Thank you OP I'm having trouble getting a pie plate too, I'd really like the enamel ones.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
