Where to buy Pie Plates?

Okay, so I feel up to a challenge and I'm going to make some tourtière. Assuming, of course, that I can get my hands on a pie plate. Anyone know where I can find one? Preferably not priced at something ridiculous like 65 Euros.

Bound to be an IKEA option. They sell cheap plates and stuff don't they?

Bonne chance avec la recette.

That looks like a quiche dish. IKEA will have them (I know that it is a pain to get there though) but I'm nipping into Kaufhof later and will let you know if I see one.
Actually I'll check if I've got one at home...
I prefer metal ones though because they conduct the heat better and stop your pie getting a soggy bottom.

PS I ate a pie last night in the Big Easy. Well, they called it a pie. It wasn't one though. And no I'm not listing that on Fitday.com either...

Debatable. Metal is non porous, so actually don't help achieve a crisp pastry finish. Earthenware stuff that is more porous absorbs excess moisture, and is supposed to give a better finish. Hence, earthenware pizza stones.

You are right, that particular picture looks like a quiche dish, but I'm looking for a pie plate. I would use a quiche dish if I had one, but that's not the aim. If the meat pie goes well, might try a sugar pie. Feeling very Québecquois suddenly.

Actually I might be talking out of my bum (or pie in the sky), I haven't made a pie in ages so I could be wrong. I think I used a Le Creuset Potterie Française earthenware dish last time and that worked but it was a small pie so thought it was due to that. Would an oval LCPF (I am very brand-faithful) dish do because I could lend you that?

I bought pie plates over the holidays at VMarkt on Balanstr. They were packaged as duel torte/pie - and the the exact dimensions weren't standard for a 9"er, but close enough, and worked fine. It was downstairs in the the household dept.

my girlfriend, Quebecoise par excellence, found some aluminum use-once tourtiere plates at Kaufhof. The sides were not as high as the real thing, but it did the job.

Ben sacrament, ya b'en plus de Canadiens icitte que j'pensais!

I wish you luck in finding a real "pie plate", as we Americans know a pie plate to be. I've lived here four years and still haven't seen one. I bought two at Wal-Mart in Florida and brought them back here.

Don't forget the regulations of pie making.
In Deutschland you can only make a torte on the weekend unless you had been sick alteast 3 days that week, then any day is ok.
Since pies take longer to bake, you may make only 5 in any 3 month period, and only on weekends.
You may make torte or pies in a torte plate or pies or tortes in a pie plate, but not the other way around.
You can not bake a torte and call it a pie either.
You may NOT bake cookies in a pie plate, and since this rule is often ignored, pie plates are so rare to find and are typicaly hoarded by old ladies.
Bread is right out. There are bread pans for that.
Chocolate chips are also considered a drug since they are addictive and are outlawed in Bavaria (only).
You may only cool your pie on the kitchen window sill and not in the bathroom since it might fall in the tub. Once the pie reaches room temp. you must close the window.
Whole wheat flour is strongly suggested by the govt. since it supports the local grain farmers.
Don't mix flavors like apple and cherry. Just be happy with one fruit.

Follow these rules and you will be a good little Deutschlander pie maker.

I just went out on my first reccy and found some already. At a price I was unwilling to pay, but at least I know they are there. For other interested pie makers, there is a shop on Türkenstrasse across from Sausalitos called Suckfüll (I know, the name cracks me up too every time). They have pizza pan plates, heavy suckers, 12cm to 26cm for about 23 Euros for the big one. They also have metal quiche-looking pans for € 7.10. Both would probably work fine. I'm going out to look again downtown later and will let you know if I find anything.

Ou des Francophones au moins.

whats up with all this french

Living in a place where the local lingo is so frightful upon the ears, it is nice to remind yourself of the more pleasant methods of speech.

German's just got bad PR.

L'Allemande c'est la merde !

EDIT :- La Francais c'est (EDIT - mur) meilleur !

EDIT the second :-And according to EB - I can carry on modifying this for another 17.5 minutes !!

EDIT the third:- As EB says - that's why the 20 min delay before freezing the post

EDIT the last :- And I see the time stays as the original posting - OK - enough playing - my time is nearly up

French is a wall MDF?

@isaak

Ta blonde est une vraie Quebecoise? Peut-etre q'elle pourrait nous faire une belle poutine salle un de ces jours (comme sur la rue St. Denis)! J'apporte "la Fin du Monde" ou bien "Maudite"! Vive le Quebec libre!

Went out with a girl from Quebec for a while. Great girl, mad as a stick she was!

Well, I was at Metro and they had several different possibilities. I could have bought a glass-bottomed fruit flan pan (mm, catchy name) where the glass part came out to serve it on for something like 11 Euros. 28cm diameter. I could have bought one of those blue silicon round cake pans for 9 Euros for the thin one or 19 Euros for the thick stable one. 28 cm diameter. I decided to go for cheap aluminum. One was 26cm dia, one inch rim, 25 pans for 5.21 and the other was 22.9cm with a 2 inch rim, 25 for 7.75 something. I bought the latter. It's not quite a pie pan, but the price was right and I'm pretty sure it will do what I want it to do, which is hold ingredients while the pie bakes.

So, as I have 25 of them, if anyone wants one or two, let me know.
