The pan you cook in, determine the way your pies turn out. A good quality pan is essential if you want to prepare yummy pies to wow your family and guests.
A wide range of pie, tart, and quiche pans are available in the market, so you can choose one that best suits your needs.
Difference between a pie pan and a tart pan
* The main difference between a tart pans come in round or rectangular shape.
* Tart pans have upright sides, so you get more filling into the shell and a neater and more regular slice of quiche when serving. This is certainly not possible with a pie pan.
Other Uses
Tart pans can bake miniature quiches and muffins. They are used to chill molded desserts like gelatin and salads.
Care
* Washing by hand and drying thoroughly before storing helps them to last longer.
* Aluminium pans create off flavors if not cleaned properly, so they have to be cleaned with mild detergent after every use.
