Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pillivuyt Porcelain 11-3/4-Inch Quiche/Flan Baker
Customer Review: the best overall size and product
Summary: 5 Stars
When I started my search for the perfect baker, I was initially looking for a certain size, and I searched for a long time before finding this item. It's not only the size I needed, but by far the very best baker I've purchased. It's not too thick or thin, so it bakes evenly, without over or under cooking, the sides are neither too shallow nor too high, so it can be used for anything from pies to quiches to flan to tarts. I have many round bakers, but all others are too deep, too thick, too thin, too large or too small; this one is perfectly sized and perfectly made, the porcelain is beautiful and easy to clean; I could not be happier with this find. It's also an excellent price for a very fine, useful piece of porcelain cookware.
Description of Pillivuyt Porcelain 11-3/4-Inch Quiche/Flan Baker
Pillivuyt excels in making the classic French cooking tools and the tart pans are a fine example of this. With graceful fluted edges and a brilliant impermeable glaze, these are dishes you can bring to the table and present your creations directly to your guests or family. The walls of these dishes, as in all Pillivuyt items, are exceptionally even and not too thick, so the heat conduction is even and efficient. This creates an evenly cooked and browned crust that will slide easily out of the pan when you are ready to serve it. You can cut your tart in the pan without worrying about scratching the glaze and the dish will clean up without scrubbing or scraping. Pillivuyt porcelain is fired at 2500 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can safely put any dish under the broiler for that finishing touch and final browning. The 11 3/4 inch tart pan is deeper than the standard pan and will hold larger recipes for quiche or baked egg dishes or deep dish pizzas. It also is a lovely presentation pieces for hot or cold hors d'oeuvres.With its deep and thin, fluted edges, this extra-large 11-3/4-inch round tart with the ideal heat conduction for a nicely browned crust and firm center dish bakes and serves a gigantic caramel flan or a light quiche to a crowd of luncheon guests. The dish is even large enough to be used as a rimmed tray for heating and serving hors d'ouevres at a cocktail party. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this porcelain baker is simple in appearance with its milky white color, smooth finish, and ridged sides yet durable due to its proprietary time-tested ingredients and quality construction. The tart dish's pristine beauty and excellent temperature retention (both hot and cold) make it a wonderful serving vessel that goes from oven or refrigerator to table.
Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use the original time-honored traditions of handcrafting each piece. Replacement molds are all handmade by craftspeople who have spent many years in training, and who shape them to the level of perfection that this superior bakeware requires. The result is a tough porcelain base that can withstand temperature extremes, making this baker safe to move among the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the baker, the pan can even be placed over a diffused flame on the stovetop. All pieces are glazed and fired at temperatures of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, which produces a non-porous, rock-hard finish that easily cleans up by hand or in the dishwasher. The lead-free glaze is resistant to crazing and staining and won't absorb food odors or flavors.--Cristina Vaamonde
