<<< You might try an old fashioned pie bird or pie funnel. Besides
helping
vent the steam to keep the top crust flaky and tender, they also help
keep the top crust from sagging. >>>
This is the first I've heard of such an item. How big are these? Do
you leave them in the pie during baking to help vent the steam? What
makes them different from any funnel you would find in the store? And
lastly, what's the earliest date for their use?
Thanks,
Stefan
