The Best Pie Plate of 2025

Top pick

At 2 inches deep, this dish holds more than most glass plates we tested. It’s better able to handle dramatic temperature changes such as going from freezer to oven, it bakes evenly, and it lets you easily see when the bottom of your pie is browned.

The OXO Good Grips Glass 9″ Pie Plate With Lid conducts heat very well, and in our tests it baked some of the most evenly browned crusts. At 2 inches deep, it’s one of the few glass dishes we found that qualify as deep-dish plates.

It makes evenly baked, golden crusts. Among the 19 pie plates we’ve tested over the years, the OXO dish (along with the Emile Henry) produced some of the most evenly browned crusts. In every test crusts baked up golden from edge to edge, with no pale spots as we saw on the bottoms and sides of pies baked in other plates.

The pumpkin pie we baked in the OXO plate set into a smooth custard with a few small crinkles around the edges, while the peach pie emerged jammy and juicy with a neatly crimped edge and a crisp, golden-brown crust on top and bottom. Both pies cut neatly and didn’t stick to the pan.

It’s the perfect in-between size. It fits thick fruit pies better than shallower glass plates but isn’t so deep that custard pies look skimpy. The rim is wider than most, which makes shaping a pretty crust easy, while the clear glass lets you see when your pie is done. And unlike with some other glass plates, you can transfer this one directly from freezer to oven since it’s made of borosilicate glass.

The OXO plate measures 9 inches in diameter from inner edge to inner edge and just about 2 inches deep, with a volume of about 6¾ cups. That’s about 2¾ cups more than the similar-looking Pyrex plate (our runner-up) can hold, making the OXO better for deep-dish lovers. That said, we found that the OXO plate worked better than some other large-capacity plates for both standard recipes and those that called for deep-dish pie plates.

Although the pre-rolled, store-bought crust we tested in the OXO just barely fit, the pan’s slightly larger-than-average size worked well with homemade pie crust recipes and is deep enough to fit most deep-dish filling recipes, too. In comparison, plates that were larger (such as the 7½-cup Nordic Ware aluminum pan) or wider (like the 9½-inch Pyrex Easy Grab plate) caused overstretched crusts to slump and produced custard pies that looked underfilled.

The generous ⅞-inch rim on the OXO is one of the widest among the plates we tested (only the Pyrex Easy Grab plate has a wider one). It gives you plenty of room to crimp or to add some other decorative edge to your pies, and we found that it helped crusts stay in place as they baked. The rim also makes it easier to grasp the hot pie plate with oven mitts.

Because the glass is clear, you can monitor your pie’s bottom crust as it browns. OXO’s dish is made from borosilicate, a thermal-shock-resistant glass that won’t shatter from the rapid expansion or contraction of the glass that happens when it goes abruptly from cold temperatures to hot or vice versa (a problem with tempered-glass Pyrex dishes that publications such as Consumer Reports have reported on).

There’s nothing fancy about the OXO pie plate, but its simple design won’t clash with other servingware. It’s dishwasher safe, and easy to clean by hand. The plate also comes with a lid, which is useful for transporting pies to parties and potlucks.

This pie plate comes with OXO’s Better Guarantee, meaning OXO will replace it if it breaks under normal use due to any defects, and we’ve always found OXO’s customer service to be very good. We’ll also continue to long-term test this plate to see how it performs over time.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

With extreme-enough temperature changes it can still break. Also, the OXO dish will almost certainly break if you drop it from a counter onto a hard floor—something that a tempered-glass plate like the Pyrex could survive. We recommend using any glass bakeware with care; read our tips in the Care and maintenance section of this guide.

This plate was a little too big for a store-bought crust. Shaping a fluted edge was a bit of a stretch. If you primarily use pre-made crusts, you’ll find that the Pyrex 9″ Glass Pie Plate is a much better fit.
