Le Creuset Black Stoneware Pie Bird Funnel - PG18750431

Le Creuset Black Stoneware Pie Bird Funnel - PG18750431

The pie bird keeps bottom crusts from becoming soggy, and prevents pies from boiling over in the oven.

The pie bird may be old-fashioned, but this time-honored baker's tool has turned out countless delicious pies over the course of centuries. The hollow pie bird vents steam from the filling as it cooks, preventing the contents from boiling over. Arches on the bottom redirect excess moisture to keep the bottom crust from becoming soggy. The top crust will be held in place, and your oven will be free of spills.
