Pretty plate, and pretty pies!
I am a bit of a baking newbie, but I have been trying more and more new things, and so I am glad I gave in to the urge to buy this plate.Clean-up - I've had no problems with sticking or stains so far. The smooth surface cleans up quite easily. I usually hand-wash everything except my plates and utensils, so not sure how this stands up to the dishwasher, but I am personally not interested.Looks - This is gorgeous with thick and wavy flutes. It looks nice with or without food in it.Color - Although I was tempted to go with "Sage" because I love green, I chose the neutral "Wheat" and it sure is pretty. I love the warm, creamy color, and it looks nice with all kinds of pie and quiche.Durability - So far so good. This item is hefty and with care I imagine it will last a good long time. It has gone from freezer to oven to bake crusts, so it seems sturdy even with temperature flux. The finish has appeared durable so far, but my mom took a carbon steel butcher knife to my first quiche before I noticed, asked her to halt and handed her blunt knife. It does have a long score mark from that event. I don't know what she was thinking, I suspect she was distracted by the yummy smelling food and being hungry, but don't make that mistake unless you want to ruin the finish.Manufacturing Location - It was made in China. I wish it weren't but even Le Creuset stoneware, despite it's high cost, is now made in places like this. There are a couple brands that still make their stoneware in less sketchy places, like France, but those companies were higher cost than even Le Creuset. As a newbie baker, and person on a small budget, I simply couldn't justify the expense. Maybe someday, more things will be made in the USA again. For now we can at least get some things, like Lodge's cast iron cookware. But with this pie pan, or any one at a similar price point? No, not yet.Note - I uploaded a picture of my first pastry crust + quiche, and it's a bit ugly, but it sure tasted good and it looks pretty nice in the HIC pie pan! Hope the picture helps. :-)

I never write reviews, but I just had to because this is pie plate is incredible. I love to bake and I love pie, but my pies crusts have always been ugly. Quite hideous, actually. However, with this plate, anyone can crimp the edges like a pro. I hang my head in shame no more. Previously, I only cooked pies at home and for family that wouldn't judge. I can now take pies that look nice AND taste good to potlucks and parties. The pictures posted are of my very first pie with it (apple). I still can't make pretty crusts by myself and I may never be able to. But, with this plate, I don't have to- it does it for me and its easy! I highly recommend it- well worth the price in my opinion.
