Meanings
nounpiepan (plural piepans)
plural piepans
- A pan for baking pies.
To be good, a pie must have a well-baked bottom crust. This means that piepans should be of materials that absorb heat readily. Aluminum with a special dull finish is good, and so is glass.
1950, Elizabeth Beveridge, Martha Louella Hensley, Victor Rickman Boswell, Food for the Family with Young Children (volumes 1-20, page 26)
