Peter Pots Pottery Pie Bird

You place the ceramic bird in the center of your pie dish before adding the filling and top crust. As the pie bakes, the hollow center of the bird allows steam to escape from the bottom of the pie, which prevents the filling from bubbling over and keeps the crust from getting soggy.

No, the pie bird replaces the need for manual venting. Simply drape your top crust over the bird, cut a small hole for the bird's head to poke through, and you are ready to bake.

Yes, it is designed specifically for baking. It is made from durable, food-grade ceramic that withstands standard oven temperatures used for pie baking.

Absolutely. Because it is made of high-quality ceramic, you can wash it and reuse it for every pie you bake. It is also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

Not at all. The ceramic is food-grade and neutral, meaning it will not impart any flavor to your filling or crust. Its primary function is purely structural and thermal.

Each piece is handcrafted and signed by the artisan, so you should expect slight variations in the finish and form. These unique characteristics are part of the charm of owning a piece of pottery rather than a mass-produced item.
