This hand-painted, aesthetically pleasing porcelain Duck Pie Funnel is a traditional yet unique kitchen must-have used to enhance the flavour and presentation of all pies- sweet or savoury. People will go absolutely quackers for it!
It has been expertly crafted by Milton Brook, part of Wade Ceramics, who are well known for creating fine porcelain for the kitchen for well over a century.
This beautiful Mallard Duck Pie Funnel is easy to use and allows you to create award-worthy pies in your own kitchen. All that is required is to line your favourite Pie Dish with your pastry, placing your Wade Ceramics' Pie Funnel in the centre. Then just place your chosen filling around the pie funnel and carefully place the pastry over the top, pushing down gently so that you can see your Duck Pie Funnel fully at the top. By doing this it allows all unwanted steam to pass through your delicious pie which allows your pastry to go a glorious golden-brown and your filling to bake. Pie funnels are also referred to as 'crust holders', 'pie vents' or 'pie flutes'- this is due to their ability to ensure your filling does not stew and that your pastry does not sag in the centre of your pie.
Wade Ceramics' have cleverly designed this unique pie funnel to ensure that you are able to identify the filling of your pie without having to ruin the crisp crust by cutting into them to discover the filling. As well as being a bake-ware necessity these traditional Pie funnels are also a worldwide item sought out by collectors.
