Is Pie crust tender?
742022
I actually have not made pie crust with it yet, that was going to be an adventure for this weekend. Sorry!

This flour was purchased for my daughter in law and she advises that it works great for everything.

Where are the recipes for the flour that the bad suggests are on the web site?

we only use it for bread. but I would be careful, read the ingredients for example xanthan gum might not go well in a pie crust. actually I think namast sells a gluten flour specific for crusts and similar (more expensive per oz).

Yes. You can use this flour for pretty much anything you would use "regular" flour for. In Italy, this is the flour that gets used for all of their baking. My guess is that your pie crust would be quite tender.

Hi sandy, yes it is perfect for apple pies. I bought mine a few months ago and would highly recommend it. I have had no problems at all.

I would say no. While I have made sausage, both fresh and cured by smoke, I don't see tender quick as an ingredient. see this link for a sopressata recipe. http://italianfood.about.com/od/curedmeats/r/blr0510.htm

I've found this bread form creates a firm skin on the proofed boule that not only facilitates a great crust that's "pretty" and "crunchy," but also possesses an inside crumb that is moist, structurally sound and fully cooked. BTW -- I'm using the Dutch Oven method from Forkish's Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast.

I haven't tried to put pie dough through it. But if you are wanting to roll it out so to speak I guess you could. The results would not be round like a pie though.

yes they are tart and very high quality. My pies turn out perfect with theses.

Technically no. However, it does not stick to pie crust. I have been using this shield for over a year and have not had trouble with it sticking. It also cleans up easily for reuse.

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

I use a pie server made of the same material that's used for cooking utensils made for non-stick pans. It works well, and doesn't scratch the pan like a knife or stainless steel does. I own several of these, and my favorite is the oldest and most worn--nothing compares to a well seasoned pan :)

Only if you wanted sandwiches that are pretty small, a little less than three inches in diameter. A perfect size for very young kids. With regard to taste, you couldn't do better. One other minor problem is that they break easily. That is why they are so good for pie crusts. Good Luck. Leslie S

I mainly use this rolling pin for fondant, I did try to roll pie crust out once with this pin and I wasn't happy. For pie crust I personally prefer a wood rolling pin. After using this Norpro rolling pin for several months I have to say that I'm not impressed and will be looking into purchasing a different one soon.

Well, my quiches have crust, but I have never tried anything like that. I believe after using this it works best for pies that have crust bottoms and tops. Great for hand held pot pies and fruit filled pies. There is a food truck in our town that sells little pies that look just like these sold as hand held pies!

It should be sturdy enough, one of the folding sides is the right size for a pie

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.

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!

It's not completely smooth--it sort of has an subtle texture, but very subtle. I use it to roll out cookies, pie crust, etc.
