Pillivuyt excels in making the classic French cooking tools and the tart pans are a fine example of this. With graceful fluted edges and a brilliant impermeable glaze, these are dishes you can bring to the table and present your creations directly to your guests or family. The walls of these dishes, as in all Pillivuyt items, are exceptionally even and not too thick, so the heat conduction is even and efficient. This creates an evenly cooked and browned crust that will slide easily out of the pan when you are ready to serve it. You can cut your tart in the pan without worrying about scratching the glaze and the dish will clean up without scrubbing or scraping. Pillivuyt porcelain is fired at 2500 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can safely put any dish under the broiler for that finishing touch and final browning. The 9 1/4 inch tart pan is a standard size for savory or sweet tarts.
