Wade Ceramic's Cherry Pie Funnel is the perfect kitchen accessory to show off any homemade pie- savoury or sweet. Milton Brook, part of Wade Ceramics, has been producing some of the finest kitchen porcelain in England for over 200 years. Their Pie funnels are traditional, stylish and user friendly- ensuring you get that crisp crust every time. There are 10 unique designs to choose from, this design comes with hand-painted cherry figurines adorning the top of your funnel. The Pie funnels are extremely easy to get along with and allow even the most uncertain bakers confident they will develop that nice golden crust. All you need to do is line your pie dish with your pastry and insert your favourite Wade Ceramic's pie funnel in the centre. Next, place your chosen filling around the funnel and then place your pastry over the top, ensuring you push down so that the cherry figures are clearly visible. Doing this ensures that the unwanted steam leaves your pie and allows the pastry to crisp and the filling to bake. You may also hear people referring to pie funnels as 'crust holders' or 'pie vents', this is because as well as making sure your pastry stays crisp they also prevent your pie from sagging in the centre. The fact that there are 10 different designs of these unique pie funnels enables them to the perfect gift for someone who may make several tasty pies a day, by allowing them to identify the filling of each pie without cutting into that delicious pastry. These pie funnels have become a worldwide vital accompaniment to any kitchen and are now also a widely sought out collector's item. All ten of Wade Ceramics' unique Pie Funnel designs are available to purchase from our website.
