Why is the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish the Secret to Perfect Pies?

As we welcome baking season, having the right tools in your kitchen is essential to perfecting your favorite recipes. The LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish offers an ideal blend of functionality, durability, and elegance, making it a valuable addition to your kitchen. Whether you’re preparing a family recipe or trying out new creations, this dish ensures evenly baked pies with beautiful, rustic presentation. Below, we’ll dive into the benefits of the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish and answer a common question about pie plate sizes.

Discover Why the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish is a Must-Have for Every Baker

Choosing quality bakeware can make a noticeable difference in your baking results, and the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish is a top-tier choice for several reasons.

Superior Heat Distribution and Retention

The stoneware construction of this dish allows for even heat distribution, ensuring that your pie bakes uniformly from the edges to the center. This is essential for pies, where uneven heat can cause soggy bottoms or undercooked centers. Additionally, stoneware retains heat longer, so your pie stays warm for serving, adding a cozy touch to holiday meals or gatherings.

Aesthetic Appeal

With its charming, rustic look, the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish enhances the presentation of any pie. Available in a classic design, this dish effortlessly transitions from oven to table, making it perfect for hosting events or special family dinners. You can confidently serve directly from the dish, knowing that it adds to your table’s elegance.

Durable and Scratch-Resistant

The LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish is made from durable materials that withstand the demands of regular baking. Its scratch-resistant surface ensures it remains looking fresh, even with daily use. Unlike other materials that may chip or wear down, stoneware’s natural resilience makes it a long-lasting investment in your kitchen.

Versatile Size and Depth

The dish measures 9.5 inches, offering a bit more depth and diameter than standard pie plates. This allows for generous filling amounts, perfect for deep-dish pies, tarts, quiches, and even savory casseroles. Its size provides more room to experiment with recipes and ensures even baking without overflow.

Key Benefits of Stoneware

Stoneware has become a go-to material for baking enthusiasts because of its versatility and performance. Here’s why stoneware bakeware like the LE REGALO® Pie Dish is highly regarded:

Moisture Absorption: Stoneware has a porous surface, which absorbs a minimal amount of moisture, helping achieve a crispy, flaky crust—ideal for pies.

Non-Stick Quality: With use, stoneware develops a natural, non-stick surface, reducing the need for excess oil or butter and making it easier to release delicate pie slices.

Microwave, Oven, and Dishwasher Safe: Stoneware is versatile, safe for use in the microwave and oven, and can go from freezer to oven with ease. Additionally, it’s dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.

Tweaking Your Recipe for a 9.5-Inch Pie Dish

A frequently asked question among bakers is whether a recipe intended for a 9-inch pie plate can be used in a slightly larger dish, such as a 9.5-inch plate. The answer is yes, but with a few considerations.

Adjust the Recipe Slightly

The increase from 9 inches to 9.5 inches may seem small, but it actually adds up to about 10% more surface area. For best results, consider increasing your filling by about 10% to maintain the pie’s appearance and prevent it from looking too shallow. For example, if your recipe calls for 2 cups of filling, you can add roughly 1/4 cup more.

Watch Baking Times

Since a larger dish means a slightly larger surface area, the filling may bake a little quicker. It’s wise to start checking for doneness 5-10 minutes earlier than the recipe recommends. If the pie crust starts browning too quickly, use a pie shield or cover the edges with foil to prevent over-browning.

Maintaining Crust Consistency

For pies with intricate crust designs or crimped edges, a larger plate can make a difference. If you’re using a store-bought crust, you might find it slightly small, so rolling it out to fit the 9.5-inch plate can help. Otherwise, the difference is subtle, and using the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish will work beautifully with minor tweaks.

Tips for Perfect Pies with the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish

To make the most out of your LE REGALO® Pie Dish, here are some tips to ensure perfect pies every time:

Preheat Your Oven with the Dish Inside

Stoneware heats up gradually, and placing it in a preheated oven helps avoid thermal shock and ensures that the crust bakes evenly from the start.

Use a Pie Shield or Foil for Even Crust

Stoneware’s natural heat retention can lead to faster browning on the edges, so protect your crust by using a pie shield or aluminum foil for the first half of baking. This helps achieve a golden, flaky crust without burning the edges.

Avoid Temperature Shock

Never put a hot stoneware dish in cold water or directly on a cold countertop. Stoneware is durable but sensitive to sudden temperature changes, which can lead to cracking. Let your dish cool slightly before cleaning or refrigerating.

Season Your Dish with Regular Use

As you continue using your stoneware pie dish, a non-stick layer will develop, making it easier to remove baked goods. The more you use it, the better it performs—another reason this dish is ideal for regular bakers.

Creative Recipes to Try in the LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish

The LE REGALO® Pie Dish is incredibly versatile, letting you go beyond traditional pies. Here are a few recipes that will showcase its functionality:

Classic Apple Pie: The stoneware pie dish is perfect for this all-time favorite. The even heat distribution ensures that your apple pie fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma while baking to golden perfection.

Strawberry Pie: The 9.5-inch size is ideal for strawberry pies, allowing for a deep and flavorful filling with a beautifully set custard. The stoneware enhances the flavor by evenly cooking the filling and ensuring a crispy, golden crust every time.

Care Tips for Your Stoneware Pie Dish

With the proper care, your LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish will serve you well for years. Here’s how to keep it in top condition:

Hand-Wash When Possible: Though dishwasher safe, hand-washing helps maintain the dish’s finish and prolongs its lifespan.

Avoid Metal Utensils: Use wooden or silicone utensils to prevent scratching the dish’s surface.

Store Carefully: When stacking with other dishes, place a cloth or paper towel between them to avoid chips.

The LE REGALO® Stoneware Pie Dish is a blend of beauty and function, offering everything you need to bake delicious, visually appealing pies with ease. From its superior heat retention to its versatility, this dish makes it easy to create holiday favorites or everyday classics. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting, investing in this stoneware pie dish will elevate your baking experience and become a trusted piece in your kitchen for years to come.

Homemade Strawberry Sheet Pan Pop Tart Ingredients: 4 ready-to-bake pie crusts 1 1/2 cups strawberry preserves 3 tbsp softened butter (for brushing) Icing: 2 cups powdered sugar 4 tbsp milk Sprinkles (for garnish) Directions: Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the crusts: On a large cutting board, roll two of the pie crusts together. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, trim the combined crusts into a 12×16-inch rectangle (or a size that fits your sheet pan). Carefully roll the crust up and transfer it to a sheet pan that’s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the filling: Spread the strawberry preserves over the center of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Top with the second crust: Roll the other two pie crusts together and trim to match the size of the first. Place it on top of the strawberry jam layer. Seal the edges: Use your fingers to pinch the edges of the two crusts together. Then, use a fork to crimp the edges to ensure the jam is sealed inside. Vent the crust: Poke small holes all over the top crust using a toothpick to allow steam to escape while baking. Brush and bake: Brush the top and edges of the pop tart with softened butter. Bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Keep an eye on the edges to prevent any jam from seeping out. If it does, you can place a larger pan underneath to catch drips or scoop the jam back into place. Cool and prepare icing: Remove the pop tart from the oven and let it cool. In the meantime, mix powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. Ice and decorate: Spread the icing over the center of the pop tart, leaving the crimped edges bare. Immediately add sprinkles on top. Serve: Slice the giant pop tart into pieces and enjoy! Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes Kcal: 290 kcal per serving | Servings: 12 slices This Homemade Strawberry Sheet Pan Pop Tart is the ultimate treat for both kids and adults alike! With buttery pie crusts, a generous layer of sweet strawberry preserves, and a glossy icing topping, it brings back all the nostalgia of childhood pop tarts with a fun, oversized twist. The colorful sprinkles add a playful touch, making it perfect for celebrations or just a fun weekend baking project. This giant pop tart is easy to make, comes together quickly, and is always a crowd-pleaser. Slice it up and serve it warm for a delicious treat that’s both impressive and satisfying!

Vintage bakers! We need your help! Over on the blog today, I posted a story about a woman named Laura and her 83 year old mom, Betty who are in search of a vintage cookie recipe dating to about the 1950s/1960s era. 🍪 The recipe is called Date Accordions and it is one of their family favorites. Accidentally, the recipe got thrown out and poor Betty is heartbroken! I’m on a mission to help get her reunited with her favorite recipe, but I’ve exhausted all my search options both online and in my extensive collection of vintage cookbooks, clippings and recipe cards. If all you lovely vintage home bakers could look through your recipe collection for this unique date bar, perhaps we will be able surprise Betty with a little holiday joy! 🎄 Read more about Laura and Betty’s story and the particulars of the recipe over on the blog.
