Practical Kitchen Pets: Pie Birds

by Diana Bulls



So, you have taken my advice from past articles and have started poking around in your grandmother's (or mother's) kitchen drawers, and you found this ceramic thingy. It sort of looks like it was half of a salt and pepper set, but then again, there is only one hole on top and it's way too big. Lucky you; you have found a pie bird! It is one of those whimsical, days-gone-by kitchen gadgets that is still practical enough that every pie baker should have one.
