OXO Pie Plate With Lid Review

Come Thanksgiving, my mom and I hole up in the kitchen for hours baking pies. She gets up earlier than I do, getting the pecans and pumpkins out of the way, while I mosey in later to help with the banana creams and sour cream apples. It’s an all-day baking affair that I look forward to every year.

Pie has become such an important dessert in my holiday routine that, in recent years, I’ve been experimenting with new flavors and recipes in my regular life. Whether I’m going to a friend’s house for a party or hosting people at home for a casual dinner, pie is almost always on the menu — and OXO’s 9-inch pie plate and lid is right alongside it. This dish is one of my most-used kitchen tools, and it happens to be on rare sale for a limited time at Amazon.

I’ve been a fan of OXO’s travel-friendly bakeware for years. Purely in terms of storage, the lids make a world of difference since I don’t have to waste money on plastic wrap or futz around with foil. I can also stack containers on top of the dishes in the refrigerator to save space. And when taking pie on the road, mine survived a 150-mile journey from the heart of Los Angeles to the desert with the crust intact and the filling still in its place. I love commuting without fear of ruining my hard work.

Over 13,500 Amazon shoppers agree that OXO cracked the bakeware code with this line. While one reviewer called the pie dish “such a find” after storing a pie for over a month in the freezer without damage to its crust, another wrote that it was “exactly” what they were looking for with the dish’s even heating, sturdy construction, and snap-on top.

For me, the main attraction is the height of the domed lid, which can accommodate clouds of homemade whipped cream and layers of sticky meringue. That, and the ability to throw the whole thing in the dishwasher after the dessert has been eaten and the guests have gone home.

Now that it’s October and the holidays are nearly here, I can’t think of a better time to invest in bakeware that saves, stacks, bakes, freezes, travels, and washes with such ease. My advice is to start with the pie plate, which happens to be on sale for $12 at Amazon, and build from there.
