I'm waiting for my raspberry set. I had the old set and it was terrible. The lids were almost impossible to snap on and off. I ordered these because Chris said they were totally new.
@chickenbutt, do you find the locks easy to work? tia

The design is very nice. They close easily, as long as you have the seal sitting properly (one time I didn't and figured it out quickly), AND they open equally easily.

I like the design because they are not difficult, but the seal is excellent. I have arthritis, so that tells you I'm not so young and nimble in the hands anymore.

SIDEBAR: I got a nice chuckle as I finished your post because I recently asked a question on an item on Amazon and at the end of the post, as I'm prone to do when I'm asking for help, I put TIA. I'm big on please and thank you.

The seller responded: Hi Tia! .....etc... I just thought it was so funny and cute. Many years ago, on an ebay board I had the same thing happen so I guess my secret name must be Tia.

@chickenbutt I remember a time when I thought "Tia" was someone's name also.

I believe it was right here on the Q board, shortly after it first started up.

It really is a pretty name.

Can't wait to get my pie plates. ETA is the 11th.

Wow, odd how some parts of the country always get things on such a varied schedule, yet other companies can do it the same.

But then, my order came from California and I'm CA adjacent.

I ordered them in the champagne and kind of wonder why I did (because I'm a Lock and Lock junkie, that's why!) as I don't bake pies.

I'm hoping I will use them for many other things. I bought the glass 9x13 like a year ago and have never even used it. Hope these don't have the same fate. After I got the 9x13, I wondered why they didn't do a domed lid on it. I think it would have made it more practical for cake baking.

Anyone know if these plates would fit a typical store bought pie?

That champagne looks so lovely! You reminded me that I also have a L&L 9x13 that I haven't used, either. I just don't bake that much anymore - well, actually, hardly at all. oops!

The top interior diameter is 9 3/8" and the bottom is about 8 1/2", so I would say yes. I have some crusts that I use for pumpkin pies and they sit right in there so, while I will probably just go ahead and bake the pies in the containers they have, these will be absolutely perfect for storing them afterward.

The only exception, I would think, would be a very high meringue type pie.

I tried to take one of the pics from the item number but you can't c&p them because they have that stupid automatic '+' on the pics. Don't be confused by the pic of another item that it in the thread. These look different and you can see it on the item # I put in the thread title. HTH

Thanks to this thread, I promptly put these pie plates in my wish list, LOL. I hadn’t seen them before, and as an avid pie baker they will come in very handy. I just missed the 4 easy pay offer today, so I will wait for the next opportunity. Thankfully, QVC has been having easy pay offers more frequently!
