Attention pie makers! We just spotted the most adorable heirloom-style pie bird from Le Creuset. And it arrives in time to make sure your Easter pies bake up beautifully for the holiday table.
Meet the Le Creuset duck pie vent. It’s way cuter than your grandma’s open-beak pie bird and crafted from the brand’s signature stoneware that resists staining and cracking.
Oh, and it’s only $24! The ultimate Easter hosting gift? We think so. Here are a few more details about the charming little pie bird we found in the wild.
Le Creuset Duck Pie Vent
Need a new pie bird? Well, how about a pie duck!
What is the Le Creuset duck pie bird?
When we say, “pie bird,” the one that comes to mind is probably a little outdated (maybe even an eye-sore). But it’s a classic baking tool that’s earned its spot in pie makers’ kitchens for decades. The new Le Creuset duck pie vent brings a dose of duck-ish charm to whatever pie you’ve got in the oven.
It’s crafted from premium stoneware and coated with the brand’s signature enamel glaze, so it resists cracking and scratches. Whether you’re making a fresh berry pie or experimenting with a new filling, this little duck pie bird adds springtime flair to every bake.
Le Creuset also launched a bunny pie vent, available in soft purple, pink, white and blue. Honestly? You probably need both.
How It Works
This pie vent isn’t just cute, it’s practical. The hollow opening lets steam escape as the pie bakes, keeping your filling from spilling over. And the arches at the base divert excess moisture, so your bottom crust stays perfectly crisp.
Bonus: it’s naturally nonstick, letting gooey filling slide right off for super-easy cleanup. Plus, it’s tough enough for anything from -9 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it safe for the oven, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. That way, you can chill, bake, reheat and clean without any hiccups.
Where to Buy
Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting a fellow baker, this charming little pie vent is the ultimate Easter basket stuffer for anyone who loves to bake. Both the duck and bunny pie vents retail for $24.
Grab them while they’re in stock at Le Creuset, Williams Sonoma and Nordstrom—and bring a little peck of magic to every pie.
