The pie bird, a vintage kitchen tool, helps achieve perfect pie crusts by allowing steam to escape during baking. Originally designed in the 1700s, it prevents soggy crusts that result from steam buildup caused by juicy fillings. Without a vent, steam can soak the crust or create air bubbles that lead to cracks. To use, place the pie bird in the center of the filling and add the top crust, ensuring it stands securely to maximize effectiveness.
The vintage pie bird, a ceramic figure, functions as a vent to prevent soggy pie crusts by allowing steam to escape during baking.
When using a pie bird, ensure it is securely placed in the center of the filling before adding the top crust for optimal baking results.
