Le Creuset Duck Ceramic Cake Aerator (Chimney-Style)

As pretty as it is functional, the Le Creuset Ceramic Duck Pie Chimney is the must-have companion for baking your pies and pasties if you’re after a perfect, delicious result. This charming duck is not only very pretty, it will provide you with the best steam release for your closed pies with filling. Simply place the duck pie in the center of your pie or pasty to achieve excellent baking.

The duck’s base is perforated and the ceramic figure also has a small hole at the top. This design allows steam to circulate through the body of the duck pie, acting as a chimney for the steam to escape, which makes it an indispensable helper for baking pasties, pies, and tarts with moist fillings.

How to use the Le Creuset Ceramic Duck Pie Chimney

It’s very simple to use:

• Place the ceramic duck on the base of the pie you’re going to bake; ideally place it in the center.
• Put the filling on the pie or pasty base (meat, vegetables, fruit...), around the duck.
• Cover the pie with the remaining pastry, piercing it only once so that the duck pie can poke its little head out.
• Bake the pie without needing to prick the rest of the pastry with a skewer or fork. The steam generated inside the pie will escape through the duck, preventing the pastry from puffing up or splitting.

Why we like the Le Creuset Ceramic Duck Pie Chimney

1. It’s as lovely and charming as it is functional.
2. It not only decorates, it’s an ideal chimney for removing steam from the inside of your pies, achieving excellent results.
3. No more pricking pastry with a fork to stop it from puffing up!
4. A collectible figure. Durable, sturdy, and from Le Creuset.

NOTE: Si no se pincha o se hace algún agujero en la masa de las tartas de masa brisa o empanas, entre otras, el vapor que se va generando dentro irá hinchando la tarta, buscando una salida; y de no encontrarla, la masa se romperá sin remedio.
