A pie dish is a type of baking dish that is typically used for making pies. It can be made out of various materials such as ceramic, glass or metal and comes in different shapes and sizes to accommodate different types of fillings and crusts. The dish has high sides to hold the filling and a bottom layer to catch any excess liquid that may come from the fruit or other ingredients used in the pie. Once the pie is baked, it can be easily removed from the dish by simply lifting it out with the edges of the crust.
