Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My mother always used a pie bird in her 2 crust fruit pies. I never really understood then, just thought it was cute. But, after seeing a cook on TV use one and gave the reason why, I tried it. And, oh my goodness did it ever work! If you use it right, you'll have a cooked, crisp bottom crust even with a 2 crust fruit pie. Promise. You just have to make sure you place the pie bird on top of the bottom crust BEFORE you place your filling. Pour the filling around the pie bird, and after rolling out your top crust, place a small "X" in the middle of the top crust and top your filling (so the "X" goes over the pie bird). Seal the edges and make a couple additional small vents with a knife and bake. Also, use a good glass pie pan!

Pie funnels are used in baking pies and prevent the pie from boiling over in the oven by allowing the steam created when the fruit filling or other contents are cooking to escape from inside the pie. How to use: Line the pie dish with pastry, place the "bird" in the centre, put in the filling around the "pie bird" then put a pastry top on but allowing the pie bird to stick out of a hole in the pastry . Pinch crust around the bird's shoulder, allowing the head to stick through the pastry. The bird will release steam through his mouth "vent" during baking and help to prevent juices from boiling over in the oven.
