I'll get you for this, sweetheart.

*AHEM* Running off of memory- and not certain if the illuminations are
In The Basement or in the UO Library...

IIRC, the sides are pretty well straight up or at only a slight slope.
And I don't remember seeing any pans. However, this does not mean that
they didn't have them, as it would be easy to used a fairly stiff
pastry, and then remove the pie from the pan. Do it all the time for
potpies.
