The Best Tools For Making Perfect Pies

[@pamelaklemp5615]

I ❤ed this thought-provoking instructional video. You're explanations of HOW and WHY were Spot-on. I also ❤ loved that you're the appropriate age as myself and my husband, clearly having decades of refining your skills.

Awesome list - I put a lot of them on my Amazon wishlist for Brithday season! Thanks Ken! Happy baking.

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Cool! I hope your birthday is coming right up! What's your favorite kind of pie to bake, my friend?

[@lindalovaas9284]

As always, such great information! I also have a lot of your suggested tools. I strongly agree about your USA pans. That was a great investment. I don't have a bean jar - they are in a baggie. What a great idea! You are my pie guru!

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Linda - Thanks for taking time to stop by and look at my latest video. Truth be told, I could have listed a few more but I didn't want this to turn into a full-length feature movie! But I do suspect I'll be doing a follow-up video, closer to the holidays, with a few more picks. Ken

Hi Ken, I would add the USA jelly roll pan for slab pies, the dough tamper, and… the Martha Stewart bowl! 😄

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

How right you are, Pam, especially considering how often I use the jelly roll pan for slab pies. The dough tamper...check! The Martha Stewart bowl? I love mine, but not certain if they're still floating around out there, new. I'll have to see. As I said elsewhere in the comments, there will definitely need to be a "must-have" video, Part 2. Just too many cool tools floating around out there. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Ken

Thanks, Ken! Always inspires me to get back in the kitchen!

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Thanks for stopping by, Marsha, and for leaving a comment. Ken

"If your pie filling cops an attitude and tries to make a run for your oven floor!" hahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂😅

[@susanderemr1499]

Really fun video, especially because the tools are the same ones we see in class. I also like the little three-spout measuring cup, a nutmeg grinder, and my hand pie mold when it comes to pies. I have a whole other set of tools I can’t live without for cookies and cakes. Thanks!

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Susan - Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Yes, my beloved 3-spout cup (that I haven't replaced!) Like I mentioned elsewhere, you can be pretty certain I'll do a follow-up video closer to the holidays with some of the items that didn't appear here.

I like my pie crust shield as well.

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Yes, those are good...I know a lot of folks are partial to the shields. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

[@marymccreadie1970]

I have a solid wood rolling pin, inherited from my pie queen mama. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

That's the best kind of rolling pin there is, right? I'm sure you love using it.

[@alanerogers7177]

Thanks so much. As always, great and helpful information.

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

My pleasure!

[@diegocasares9946]

Nice video. Very helpful

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Glad to hear that

[@Southernroots1958]

Good Advice - I love USA Pans

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

They're the best, aren't they? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Ken

[@albertcasalnuovo1247]

Great list! I think I have just about all of them except the cooling rack with legs. Father's Day is coming soon ...!

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Why does this not surprise me? You're a heck of a baker Al and it's great to have you with us at The Pie Academy

[@jerrykravetzker7637]

great video... i was surprised to find that I have most of your recommended tools!!!. I am interested in your live in person pie getaways, but it seems that the link does not work, so please.... when you have something scheduled please let me know. thanks // jerry

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Jerry - Thanks for leaving a comment. I'll check that link...meanwhile, if you're a Pie Academy subscriber you'll get an email when we have more solid plans about a next Pie Getaway. Ken

[@garypostell5268]

Disappointed no pastry cloth?

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Hey there, my friend - I have nothing against pastry cloths; many fine pie makers use them. I get the idea you're one of them. What do you like about using a pastry cloth - I'd love to hear.

[@beahwatson]

another great video, thanks ken 🩷

[@kenhaedrichthepieacademy]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's great to have you with us.
