Dressed for the season with a cheery Santa hat, Le Creuset's pie bird adds whimsy to holiday baking. The hollow bird vents steam from a pie as it cooks, preventing contents from boiling over. The arched base also redirects moisture from the bottom crust to prevent it from getting soggy. Before baking, simply place the bird in a filled sweet or savory pie.

Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
