Pop-out bottom slips and doesn't work well for liquidy tarts
I was happy with the look and feel of this pan when I received it. However, when I actually tried to use it, I found several issues with the construction.The pop-out bottom, which is advertised as making cleaning and serving easy, kept slipping when I was handling the pan. The lack of a grip makes carrying this pan a bit hard. If you grip the bottom, the pop-out piece may slip and shift the contents and even break the crust.This pan is not at all suitable for pies and tarts with a porous crust and liquidy filling. Half the filling of my tart leaked out of the bottom since the pop-out bottom is not tightly sealed. From now on, I'll only use this pan if I'm making a pie or tart with a solid pie shell and a solid filling.
