[Sca-cooks] tart crusts

[Nancy Kiel]

The Clara Peeters painting (page 51 of The Dutch Table by Gillian Riley) is
most definitely NOT in a pan.  In fact, it looks to be sitting on a
cardboard pan bottom, since there is a line at the bottom of the tart which
follows the shape of the tart.  Maybe it's a piece of really thick paper.
The Breugel also appears to be out of the pan, since I see a filling and a
crust only.
