I have an older and smaller version that I am proud to have inherited from Grandma though I'm secretly wishing to have a nice new one with a bigger bowl. Not complaining, very happy, but just sayin. :)

I received a deep dish pie plate by Emile Henry for Christmas last year and, although I'm not an expert pie chef, I think it made my crust a little more tender. It seems closer to a glass pie pan but with a property that might give the crust a little more heat to get it flaky. I give it top marks. (plus it looks pretty for potluck contributions -- even for non-desserts like shepard's pie).

Wonderful fine quality skillets and bakeware to be cherished and passed down to the next generation. I actually called their customer service line once (to find out how to clean a grilling pan) and they were so friendly and helpful. I think I will always want to add to my little collection.
