Pie season is here (did it ever leave?), and as you break out your pie dishes and rolling pins, you may decide it’s time to upgrade those tools you’ve been baking with for years (if not decades). Whether you’re still using the same pie dish you bought 15 years ago, or you’ve never owned one in the first place, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to refresh your pie-making toolkit in advance of the biggest pie day of all, Thanksgiving.
1. Rolling Pin
Yes, you could technically use a wine bottle to roll out a pie crust—we won’t stop you. But if you’re looking for an easier, more efficient experience, reach for a rolling pin. Whether you choose a tapered, French silhouette or a more classic, handled shape, we like ones made with sturdy, durable hardwood. Marble is another great option, as it has the added benefit of keeping your doughs cool—a must when making pies.
