Have been looking for a pie dish and was just browsing K Mart's (minimal) selection. They do have a glass pie dish - however in the instructions it says
Warning: Do not place in a pre-heated oven above 120 deg. C. Follow usage instructions carefully.
I know of no pies that would be baked 120 deg. C or below

Are you looking for glass in particular? Mine is a Maxwell and Stevens Epicurious (ceramic) - 25 x 5cm, which I've had for ages. They appear to be sold out in most places, at least on-line, but I see Mighty Ape has them, although at $30 a little more expensive.

Irene, I just had a look at Briscoes and they have glass pie dishes, some French made, in their current sale. There is also a pyrex pie dish. I've put the link to the page below, so scroll right through that page as there are several options, including a couple of pyrex casserole dishes with lids with handles on the side rather than a knob on top, that can double as a pie dish.
Here's the description of the first one in the list, at $12.99
High quality and performance French-made cookware, suitable for everyday use in the kitchen. Borosilicate glass is the most resistant glass, with a thermal shock of 220C, it is the only glass that allows direct usage from freezer to oven. Borosilicate glass is oven s afe to 300C, freezer safe to -40C and microwave safe. Dish heats gently and evenly so your food is cooked evenly and stays hot for longer..........

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I do have a ceramic dish, but find the base never browns. I know you can use pie weights/rice initially, however 'back in the day' I am sure it wasn't such a problem? So I thought I would look for either glass or metal.
From experience do others find glass to be like ceramic and require blind baking first?

Irene, you need a perforated metal dish! I'm on my way out, but will post a link when I get home. Bakers Secret deep pie dish with removable base, might be the one.
I haven't used a glass or ceramic pie dishes after I found the metal style.

Jenna, that is just perfect thank you!!! Exactly what I need, and I haven't seen any perforated bases in my web search. Many, many thanks
ps I have shopped at Outofthebox once before, and I think that was also at your suggestion

Just re Irene's initial posting about the Kmart pie dish saying "Warning: Do not place in a pre-heated oven above 120 deg. C. Follow usage instructions carefully." (here's a link to it [www.kmart.co.nz] )
it also says: "Prepare a tasty serving of piping hot pie with this pie dish, which can be also placed in the freezer to set or store a food preparation."
So what I think the more detailed instructions will reveal is they're saying, if you've just removed your glass pie dish directly from the freezer, don't place in a pre-heated oven above 120°C because this quick change from freezing to very hot is too much for the pie dish. I think that will be the only time the "do not place in a pre-heated oven above 120°C" warning will apply and for all other times of using the pie dish, normal oven temperatures will be fine.

Hi Irene,
Try cooking your pie towards the bottom of the oven, so the bottom oven element cooks the bottom of the pie.
If its a savoury pie, try sprinkling a little grated cheese on the base, some how (don't ask me how, cos I don't know) it browns the pie bottom.
I always move my pie towards the bottom for 8-10 mins at the end of cooking. If you are worried about the top getting overcooked, turn your oven down to around 150 deg C and give it a little longer.
Hope you can work something out.
Keep practising, your hubby wont mind
Kindest Regards,
Raewyn G

Well isn't that interesting - I have always thought of a pie dish as having smooth sloping sides and a fluted top, hence my response to Irene's question earlier re my ceramic dish.. I also have one of those Baker's Secret loose-bottomed tins that Jenna suggested but didn't think about it as a pie dish as I have always thought of it as a tart or quiche tin - it has straight fluted sides. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound pedantic, but interesting how different names mean different things to people.
By the way, I can't say I've had a problem with my ceramic dish not browning the bottom of pies. I do pretty much the same as Raewyn - cheese on the bottom of any savoury pie and a mixture of oven position and temperature for others.
Regards,
Barbara Anne

Fan bake could be my problem as well. I do have the option of classic. I will also try placing the pan closer to the bottom of the oven. I have to confess this isn't for savoury pies. When we have been in the US, we loved Cherry Pie, and I have been making the pie at home, but as I said the base was cooked but not coloured. I have ordered the perforated pan, and will give that a go as well.
Hopefully we will be in pie heaven. And Raewyn... hubby definitely does not mind what the base is like, and is happy for me to trial as many as I want

Hello again Irene,
I had a smile thinking about your hubby trialling the pies!
When making a fruit pie I sprinkle cornflour on the pastry base, so if there is an excess of liquid, it thickens with the cornflour.
Just needed to add that hint for your Irene and others
Happy baking
Raewyn G
