Best Non-Toxic Pie Pans

Pros

• Produces noticeably crispier pie crusts than glass or other bakeware, with even browning on top and bottom.
• Slices release cleanly with no sticking or scratching, even after repeated use.
• Arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box.
• Holds up well over time; one person reported two years of regular use with no issues.
• Doubles as a press for panini and other sandwiches.

Cons

• At 9 inches, the baking surface is smaller than some standard pie pans.
• Leftover pie can't be stored in the pan; prolonged contact with moisture or juices can cause rust.
• The handles are thin compared to other cast iron cookware and can break if the pan is dropped.

Pros

• Bakes evenly and produces consistent results across different types of pies.
• Holds up well to repeated freezer-to-oven cycles; one person reported over a decade of regular use.
• The fluted edge doubles as a grip, making the dish easier to carry in and out of the oven.
• Generous 9.5-inch size without being overly deep or heavy.

Cons

• Multiple people experienced the dish shattering during or shortly after baking, particularly while cooling on the counter or stovetop.
• Slightly shallower than a true deep-dish pie plate.

Pros

• Nothing sticks to the surface, even after years of use, without any coating.
• Deeper than standard pie dishes, which means more filling capacity and less spillover.
• Heats evenly and produces a well-baked pie with consistent results.
• Looks good enough to go straight from oven to table.

Cons

• The extra depth can work against shallower pies and quiches, leaving crusts that stick up awkwardly above the filling.
• A few people received dishes with glaze defects like uneven coloring, chips, or small pits.
• Ceramic doesn't conduct heat as aggressively as metal, so getting a crispy bottom crust may require longer parbaking.

Pros

• Cakes and baked goods release cleanly without sticking, even without parchment paper.
• Distributes heat evenly, producing consistent browning and rise across the pan.
• Cleanup is minimal; stuck-on food wipes off with a damp cloth.
• Sturdy construction; one person reported theirs holding up well after four years of use.

Cons

• A couple of people reported the coating on the bottom bubbling or peeling after just a few uses.
• The one-year warranty is shorter than what some competitors offer.

Pros

• Large handles make it easy to grip and lift safely with oven mitts on.
• Bakes evenly and food doesn't stick, making cleanup simple.
• Attractive enough to go straight from oven to table as a serving piece.
• Lightweight but sturdy, with a solid, well-built feel.

Cons

• Sized for smaller pies; a few people found it smaller than expected.

Pros

• Heats evenly and bakes tarts, quiches, and pies consistently well.
• Doubles as a serving dish; the scalloped edges and ceramic finish look good enough to bring straight to the table.
• Feels sturdy and well-constructed, with noticeable weight and solid craftsmanship.
• Versatile beyond tarts; people use it for dips, cheesecake displays, and pies.

Cons

• A couple of people experienced cracking, one after the first use and another after about a dozen uses.
• On the small side for full-size quiches; one person wished it were slightly bigger.

Pros

• Heavy and solid, with a feel that suggests long-term durability.
• The wide, flat rim gives extra room for fluting and makes it easy to move in and out of the oven.
• Produces even browning and nicely colored, flaky crusts.
• The 2-inch depth accommodates deep-dish pies like chicken pot pie and tall lattice tops.
• Versatile enough to double as a serving dish or bowl for casseroles and other dishes.

Cons

• A few people received dishes with pitting or sandy texture in the glaze, suggesting inconsistent quality control.
• Only available in white with a navy rim; no plain white option.
• One person noted it could be larger than 9 inches.
