I have the adjustable silicone one, it's okay but floppy. I like the solid metal one the best. I have it in two sizes. One to fit my cast iron skillet and one to fit my regular pie pan.

Yes I had the same problem, where those pie things kept falling off. I use foil if the edges start to get too brown - just tent it over the pie.

I did not like the ones I had. Foil works better. Save your money.

I never had problems with the top of the pie shell burning until I started cooking my pies on the middle rack. Once I realized that, I have returned to the older method of using the bottom rack and don't need to protect the shell now. I have lowered the temp a little bit to compensate for the pie being closer to electric element. And it does take longer.

But before I got these, I took a square of heavy duty foil, folded it in fourths and cut out the center circle. I cut some foil off the corners. That worked beautifully, too. I even saved that and used it many times; just put it into the sink with about an inch of water and let it soak a while and it came clean. I want a thing like that for my pizza. I made a foil one but would like a solid one. The pizza outside edge is always almost burned before the center gets a little brown. |

My late husband found mine in a kitchen store. He could spend hours there and as a result I have all sorts of gadgets. My Christmas stocking was always overflowing. I miss my old “bear”.
