The pie bird acts as a chimney in the center of your pie. It supports the crust so it doesn't sag into the filling and provides a dedicated vent for steam to escape, which prevents the filling from bubbling over the edges of your crust.

Yes, this piece is oven-safe up to 480°F. However, like most stoneware, it is best to avoid extreme thermal shock; try to let the pie bird come to room temperature if you are moving it directly from the freezer to the oven.

Absolutely. This piece is crafted in Boleslawiec, Poland, and is certified lead and cadmium-free, making it completely safe for contact with food during the baking process.
