Mrs. Anderson's Porcelain Baking Pie Bird, 3.75 in. is a charming and practical kitchen tool designed to enhance your pie baking experience. Made from durable porcelain, this pie bird helps steam escape from meat and fruit pies, reducing spillage and preventing the top crust from sagging during baking. Its unique bird design features a flat base for stability and vents steam through the bird's beak, ensuring your pie doesn’t bubble over. The bird’s shoulders support the top crust, eliminating the risk of a bowed crust. To use, simply place the pie bird in the center of the bottom crust, add your filling, cover with the top crust that has a small hole for the bird to stick out, and pinch the crust around the bird to seal it in place. After baking, allow the bird to cool before removing it. This heat-safe pie bird can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and measures 2 inches long by 2 inches wide and 5.125 inches high, making it a addition to your baking tools.
