Are glass pie pans best for pie crusts?

Answer by  mgainous2514 (45)

I think glass pie pans are better as compared to aluminum pans. They allow you to see the bottom of the crust which would prevent the crust from getting too dark or from burning.

Glass is a good heat conductor and distributes heat more evenly, so it is best for pastry-like pie crusts. A glass pie pan will eliminate the issue of pie crust with a burnt bottom and undercooked sides. Dark steel pie pans are the best conductor of heat for a thinner, crispy crust.
