Does corelle bake differently than a metal pie pan

Yes, it is considered a glass pan. Just follow directions for a glass dish.

I dont use them for baking we love them for spaghetti, beans and corn bread and other foods that need side boards.

It has been years since I used a metal pie pan. I can tell you that I notice no difference, the crust always bakes and stays crisp even in a deep dish apple pie. And the clean up is a breeze with Corelle. I don't alter the oven temperature even though it is considered a glass dish. For most baking such as cakes I do but not for pie.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that, because I've never used it as a pie dish. I've always used it to microwave leftovers, with a cover on top. It'd ideal for anything with sauce or gravy (i.e. spaghetti & meatballs, beef stew, pot roast, corned beef dinner, etc. I can tell you, that it heats up nicely and cleans very easily, as does all Corelle dinnerware. If you baked in the oven, I have to believe it would brown the crust golden brown. Pyrex pie plates do the same, as well as, French White Corning cookware.

probably - but according to the Corelle site- Yes, Corelle dinnerware is oven safe up to 350 F (177 C) when used in accordance with the safety and usage Instructions that came with your product at the time of purchase. All attachments (foot and handle) are only safe up to 248 F (120 C). so 350 is the limit...

You can still use this pie plate. Plenty of room with meringue on top. Hope this helps

Yes, it bakes well. But as I mentioned in my original review I cover the pie crust for half of the time it's in the oven so it doesn't burn. Brownies I put on the lowest rack so the top doesn't get over cooked. It's still a toaster oven and although it is very big, the heating element is still closer than a regular oven. It bakes beautifully but you still have to take precautions that you don't have to take with a regular oven.

We made doll cakes for years--probably before the Wilton pan came out (this was in the 50's & 60's) and we used a deep, narrow, glass Pyrex bowl to bake the cake in. Never had a problem with uneven baking. Not sure if the same would hold true for the metal Wilton pan, but you could always experiment, either with the Wilton, or with a glass or metal mixing bowl of the right size & shape.

I find them to be more in between. A little heavier than Corelle but lighter than Phaltzgraph. You'll also like them better for the microwave.

Actually yes, but remember they will cook quickly as they will be closer to the baking coils. :D Just watch for browning all the way around thru the viewing window. Can also bake small pies in a pie tin, cook crust first, till lightly brown, then add filling.

I'm inclined to think this is not a "non-stick" pie shield. It is aluminum and does not appear to be Teflon coated or to have a similar finish. Nothing in the wrapping/packaging indicated that it's non-stick. I have used it twice since I purchased it and neither time did the crust or anything else stick to it.

For me it is perfect. But, I like smaller mince pies with a flaky pastry rather than a short crust type pastry. They might be a bit too shallow if you plan to use a short crust.

It depends on how evenly your grill / heat source heats the stones. If you have hot spots you will need to spin the pie. It does a great job but you need to tend to the baking process.

Unfortunately, yes. I was hoping it was not and was initially disappointed that it wasn't metal. But since each pizzelle is only on the surface for about 30 seconds, I'm willing to live with it. I guess you have to balance out the pros and the cons. Overall, it is still a great little machine!

There are microwavable, dishwasher, and even oven proof up to 350 degrees. They are safe as glass but way more lighter! I LOVE Corelle and am always on the lookout for pieces I didn't know I needed until I see them.

I tried both and didn't see any difference. I personally don't like to bake bread or pizzas on Silpat or silpain, since I found that the bottom crusts are too pale. I bake bread daily using a pizza stone.

Will be using mine for the first time next week for pecan pie....sorry I don't know the answer to that one!

No idea how they compare to Nordic Ware, but I've been microwaving Corelle for quite some time. They're chip/break/shatter resistant, so I would not worry much about the dishwasher; I've seen a bowl fall off the counter and bounce, completely unscathed.Edit: Corelle dishes are made of Vitrelle glass.

you do but this pan was NOT a good buy. The cakes don't always come out right or cooked evenly. I tossed it out after a few uses and failures and bought a traditional metal bundt pan. It wasn't user error as I'm great in the baking department. IMO, don't waste your money on this one. I had to learn the hard way. Hope this helps you.

Nichole, the answer is yes. I've been using mine in both my large oven and in my toaster oven to great results! One thought on use though is that since small-ish things are hard to manipulate in and out of the oven when hot, I've been placing mine on baking sheets....even in the toaster oven. In doing so, if you want super-crisp pie crusts, then you need to bump up the temp just a little bit. However the draw-back here is that at high temps in the toaster oven the broiler element goes on (...at least in mine...) and you have to protect your top crust edges so they don't burn. All said....I love my little pie dishes! They are perfect for individual pies....easy enough for me to make little ones for holiday baking than big pies.....and no messy slicing!
