Probably the cornerstone of home baking is the Pie, the Tart, the Quiche and the Flan. Bakers chase the holy grail of the perfect crust and no matter how good you are at measuring and mixing your ingredients if you don't have the right dish or tin it will all go astray.
Avoid the cheap aluminium pie tins from the supermarket for a start. They are way to thin and create hot spots, burning your pastry in some areas and leaving it uncooked in others. Good burgundy clay dishes from France are excellent as well as the heavy duty metal dishes out of the USA. Whatever your choice, Everten have the best array of Pie, Quiche, Flan and Tart dishes for you to choose from.
