Evelots 10-Inch Airtight Food Storage Container with Lid - BPA-Free Clear Plastic
Is the Evelots two-pack pie carrier the right choice for taking homemade pies and cakes to family gatherings?
If you want matching carriers for two desserts, or one for the fridge and one for the car, the Evelots set is the useful choice here. It holds cakes up to 10 inches across and about 5 inches tall, giving frosting and meringue more breathing room than the shallower alternatives. The dome flips to serve as a cover or a holder, and the set is marked dishwasher- and freezer-safe. The main thing to check before buying is whether your pie dish itself fits inside; a carrier’s stated dessert capacity does not guarantee room for a wide-rimmed glass or ceramic plate.

Will it protect tall meringue or a decorated cake?
This is the strongest reason to choose Evelots: its stated capacity allows desserts about 5 inches tall, so it gives tall toppings more clearance than the shallow Tupperware and Mission Gallery keepers. Measure from the carrier’s base to the top of your topping, not just the pie’s crust. For delicate meringue, set the carrier level and avoid putting anything on top of it in the car.
Will my glass or ceramic pie plate fit inside?
Do not assume so. The stated 10-inch dessert capacity is not the same as the usable width across the base, especially when a pie dish has a broad rim. Measure the dish at its widest point and compare it with the carrier’s actual interior before relying on this as a dish-in-carrier solution. If the plate is close to the limit, transport the pie in the carrier’s own base rather than forcing the dish inside.
Will the lid stay shut on the way to a gathering?
The secure seal is intended to protect food and prevent spills, but I would still carry a filled carrier level, with a hand under the base. Set it on a flat part of the car rather than a sloping seat, and wedge a folded towel beside it so it cannot slide during turns. For a heavy glass dish, the dish’s weight—not the pie—should determine how cautiously you carry it. Before moving it, check that the lid is seated all the way around.
Is a two-pack awkward to store or clean?
Two carriers are handy for holiday baking, but they take up more cupboard room than a single keeper, and the dome shape is not a space-saving flat lid. The set is dishwasher-safe; for clearer plastic over time, I would use a gentler cycle and avoid high-heat drying, or wash by hand. It is also freezer-safe, but let a frozen container warm gradually and avoid knocking it while the plastic is cold.
How they compare
Two matching carriers with room for cakes and toppings about 5 inches tall—handy for taking two desserts to the same gathering.
A wider, shallower keeper for broad pies when a low profile matters more than meringue clearance.
Two flat-lid carriers that stack neatly for shallow pies and fridge storage.
Who it suits
This set is for the home baker who regularly brings two desserts to potlucks or holiday dinners and wants reusable covers with room for tall toppings. I’d choose it for cakes, decorated pies and keeping one dessert protected while another travels.
What you give up
- The 10-inch dessert capacity does not settle whether a deep glass or ceramic pie plate—with its rim—will fit inside, so measure your dish before counting on that setup.
- The dome provides useful height but takes more cupboard space than a flat-topped keeper; there are two carriers to store, not one.
- A secure seal helps protect baked goods, but this is not a reason to carry a loaded container by the lid or trust it with liquid.
When another one is the better buy
Tupperware Burgundy Pie Keeper, Classic Round Airtight Container, 12 in: Choose the Tupperware keeper if your priority is a wider, shallower carrier for a broad but low pie. Its stated 12-inch top diameter gives more room across than Evelots, but its approximately 2.5-inch depth is a poor match for tall meringue or high toppings.
2 Pack Pie Carrier with Airtight Lid - Transport Pie Container, Storage | Plastic Pie Containers Fit Most Pies, Bakery - BPA Free Pie Saver, Keeper with Cover to Keep Pies Fresh, Pie Dish Holder: Choose Mission Gallery if your pies are shallow and a flat lid that stacks neatly in the refrigerator matters more than topping clearance. It is specified for pies up to 10 inches across and 2.25 inches high, and it can reheat baked goods in short microwave intervals; do not use it for cooking.

Questions buyers ask
Will this pie carrier fit a 9.5-inch Pyrex dish?
The stated capacity is for a dessert up to 10 inches across, but that does not confirm the interior width available for a glass dish and its rim. Measure the dish at its widest point and check the carrier’s interior before buying; do not assume a 9.5-inch dish will fit just because the pie itself does.
Can I put a glass or ceramic pie plate inside a pie keeper?
A carrier can hold a glass or ceramic pie plate only if it fits without being wedged against the sides. Once it clears, keep it from shifting in the car; for this Evelots set, check your plate’s rim width against the actual interior before using it that way.
How do I safely transport two pies in a car?
Place the carriers side by side, not stacked, with tall toppings clear of bags and other cargo. A towel wedged around each one can help keep it from sliding.
Will the lid clear a tall meringue or cheesecake?
Yes, if the full dessert, decorations included, is within the stated roughly 5-inch height. Measure the full dessert rather than estimating from the crust, and check that the lid does not touch the topping.
Can I put the Evelots carrier in the freezer or dishwasher?
The set is described as freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe. To help keep plastic clear, I would use a gentle dishwasher cycle and avoid high-heat drying; hand-washing is the cautious choice. Let a frozen carrier warm gradually before handling it roughly.
Can I freeze an unbaked pie in the carrier?
The carrier is freezer-safe, but that does not make it a baking dish or guarantee the best result for every pie recipe. Freeze the pie in the dish intended for baking, and use the carrier as a cover only if it fits without pressing on the crust or topping.
Do the two carriers nest, or are they collapsible?
Treat nesting as unconfirmed: check whether one carrier physically fits inside the other before assigning cupboard space, and do not plan on folding them flat.
