Default An improved pie pastry

I would like to be smart enough to show you the pictures and instructions
but perhaps someone here can do it. Better Homes and Gardens Nov 2013 - on
the cover is an interesting single crust pie. Here's what they did: rolled
out a single crust pastry to about 12 inches round. Laid it over an
upside-down 8" cake pan. Put a springform cake pan over that and inverted
both pans at the same time. Removed the 8" cake pan. After some cleaning
up, the result is a deep single crust pie base.
It is good looking. May even result in a 'no boil over' pie. Wouldn't
have a double-thickness pie pastry rim that nobody ever got all that
enthused about anyway.
I'm thinking my only springform pan has a dome in the middle for angel
food cake but the technique is interesting. Polly

Well, wow! You certainly are the Hack Champion of the group. Now there's a
skill I'd love to have. Thank you so much. I did want everybody to see the
Twice as Nice pie. Polly

All it takes is a scanner.

LOL. I wish. "All it takes is a scanner". We have a scanner. Getting
from there to here is beyond my great-grandma abilities. If any. Meanwhile
back to the pie pastry. I've realized that what I have is not a spring form
pan. I think I really must buy one. There's one available at KitchenKrafts
with a tempered glass base and a 2nd glass base separately if needed.
Sounds nice. Or I could simply buy two spring form pans. Baking one pie is
much like baking one cookie. Any spring form pan experience/advice? Polly

I just have spring form pans that are all metal... didn't spend a
bloody fortune on them - yet I can immerse them in a water bath
without wrapping them in foil and they don't leak. So, I guess I have
nothing to say about that subject other than I've had mine forever,
they are not a name brand, I've used them more than most people use
theirs and I have no complaints. Did that help? I didn't think so!
Sorry, but my experience is pretty much unremarkable and they work as
expected.
