Le Creuset Christmas Tree Pie Vent
You've heard of a pie bird—but what about a pie tree?
What is the Le Creuset Christmas tree pie vent?
Made from the same famed ceramic as the brand’s Dutch ovens, the Le Creuset Christmas tree pie vent is shaped as a winter tree crowned with a real gold star, just like its full-sized inspiration. It’s non-porous, non-reactive, scratch-resistant, and resists stains and flavor absorption. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to use. Just pop this pie tool into the center of your pie prior to baking—that’s it!
How It Works
A pie vent—also sometimes called a “pie bird“—is a classic pie tool. This clever ceramic figure not only looks adorable peeking out from your pie, but it also prevents a soggy pie crust since it has arches on the bottom that redirect excess moisture. Plus, the hollow vent allows steam to escape, so the pie filling doesn’t bubble out of the crust. All this leads to a neater-looking and much more delectable pie.
The Christmas tree pie vent is also naturally nonstick and easy to rinse clean. It’s also oven-safe up to 500ºF and resists cold temperatures as low as -9 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that it’s chillable, bakeable and reheatable with ease. Plus, it’s sure to add a big dose of festive flair to your holiday tablescape!
And because the Christmas tree pie vent is made from the same heirloom-style ceramic as Le Creuset’s legendary Dutch ovens, this is one pie tool you’ll pass down to your family.
