Split Pie Pan: Bake Two Kinds at Once

by socialsocial

When some want apple and the others want peach pie, give 'em both with innovative kitchen bakewares.

The Split Decision Baking Pan can make your cooking days easier. It has 2 separate areas allowing for easier serving of delicious pies.

Can be used to make two desserts in one batch, especially useful for the undecisive guests who want a different flavor pie.

Kids are popular for wanting both so now you can give 'em two choices.

You say Apple I say Peach

Give everybody what they want this Thanksgiving Holiday with the Split Pie Pan.

You don't have to wait for another time to enjoy the peach pie, as you simply batch up ingredients for both (half of each kind).    Saving you some precious time; if you had to bake two flavors, in two different pans. 

Your "half" pies will appear whole, but when they are served, the guests will surely sit with gapped mouths, when they dig in, knives ready, and see the divider, marvelling at your culinary skills. 

A good tip is to bake pies that are similar in kind, like apple and peach pies, since both use some of the same ingredients. Pie-baking is an art in itself, and there are wonderful decorations you can etch onto the tops as well, increasing the chances of you receiving the "best mom/dad cook" award.

What a great idea for Thanksgiving Dinner for small families. You can still have apple and pumpkin without a lot of leftovers.
