Are there actual holes in it so the bottom of the crust will get a little crusty? Hope so. Thanks!

Yes, there are tiny holes in the bottom covering all but the rim. I think you will like this pan. It even makes gluten free crust a tiny bit better.

I would say ,"yes" . Although, I make regular crust, I have loaded the ingredients on and it has felt solid.

Mine have holes to :/ I have found that removing the metal spinners when the bread is warm makes the holes slightly smaller and you can mold the bread back together a little bit.

I have. The hole wasn't an issue. I believe its there to accommodate the other cooking methods (steaming, baking) but it didn't change the result of my recipes. I totally love that thing and it's multi functions. Hope this helped a little.

No holes in the bottom. Drainage is a problem. Water is held in the bottom and has to be tipped out when you are done. Depending on what you are doing, it might overflow the ridge around the edge. Also the lower layer is level and the water does not drain down the lip on one side.

I am guessing you are asking about "holes" in the bottom of the pots?? If so, yes

I've not experienced that. I don't put anything I'm cooking over the holes. There could be a little splatter, but that happens with any meats being fried, grilled, etc., and it's not been problematic.

Nope. No holes in bottom. Reduces ignition chances. I get about 45 min of smoke using in charcoal applications.

No, there are no holes on the bottom but there is one quarter size hole on the side so it dries out well. Hope this helps

The bottom of mine is NOT flat. It has some raised areas that actually make it cook very evenly. There is a small square in the center and long tube shaped legs that run about 6 inches acress the bollom.

I also have many pie plates with the handles, I just set the ring on top of the crust and it does fine. It prevents the crust from burning on the edges and that is all you want to accomplish.

No, the inside is "bare" stone, no glaze or coating on it. I made one pie in mine and the crust really stuck to the stone and it was difficult to clean - however, it may be that it just needs to be seasoned some...

Yes, there is plenty of holes in the bottom of all three. A water/vinegar mix spray every once in a while wouldn't hurt though.

The middle and top layers have holes. I use a stainless steel steamer in the bottom if I need more space.I use my steamer also everyday.

You have to do a "standing fluted" or pinched crust with this pan, but it is worth it because it bakes crust beautifully. I get alot of compliments on the crust with this pan. Even with a juicy filling like cherry or peach the crust cooks evenly. No soggy bottom crust. Hope this helps!

Yes. There are lots of small holes in this so that your food still breaths, but does not splatter.

Mine does not have the holes. Sorry you have that. I would go ahead and return the second and try one more time. Worth it! I just love mine.
