PanSpanPie Pan Removable Bottom
Which pie pan with a removable bottom will release quiche and fruit tarts cleanly without leaving me with a pan that is too shallow?
For deep quiches and generous fruit pies, I’d choose the Vnray two-pack: its listed 2.3-inch depth gives it a clear edge over the shallow tart pans here. If you want a broader tart with a more traditional profile, the EPPARN two-pack gives you a 10-inch top and 1.2-inch depth. All five have removable bottoms and nonstick surfaces, but they are not interchangeable: pick by depth and serving size, then protect the coating and support the base when moving a hot pan.
#1 · Vnray
2 Pack 9.5 Inch Pie Pan with Removable Bottom for Baking Deep Quiche Dish | Deep Quiche Tart Pan Non Stick for Oven, Fluted Pie Dish Plate Tin for Apple, Pot Pies, Cheesecakes and Desserts Vnray
Choose the Vnray set for deep quiche, pot pie, or fruit fillings: it is the deepest option here, with a listed 2.3-inch depth, and you get two pans. It’s the closest fit when a standard shallow tart pan won’t hold the filling you want.
#2 · EPPARN
Tart Pan 2 Pack, 10 Inch Tart Pan with Removable Bottom, Nonstick Pie Pan | Non-Stick Quiche Pan Carbon Steel Heavy Duty Pie Pan 10-Inch Tart Pan Loose Bottom, 10 Inches Top & 9.6 Inches Bottom
Choose EPPARN if you want two larger, 10-inch tarts for family meals or gatherings but don’t need the Vnray’s extra depth. Its 1.2-inch depth suits classic tarts and quiches better than a very deep pie.
#3 · DATANYA
DATANYA Tart Pan 9 Inch Tart Pans Removable Bottom, Non-Stick Quiche Pan Carbon Steel Heavy Duty Pie Pan 9 Inch Tart Pan Loose Bottom, extra high of 1.2 Inches
Choose DATANYA for one 9-inch-class tart pan with a 1.2-inch depth and a cleaning brush included. It suits a baker who wants a straightforward pan for fruit tarts and quiche without buying a pair.
#4 · Wilton
Wilton Excelle Elite Non-Stick - Non-Stick Tart and Quiche Pan with Removable Bottom, 9-Inch, Steel
Choose the Wilton for a familiar 9-inch steel tart and quiche pan with a 1-inch depth and a stated 10-year warranty. It is the sensible pick for a shallower tart or quiche rather than a deep, generously filled pie.
#5 · RICHSC-PAN
RICHSC-PAN Tart Pan, 9 Inch Tart Pans, Non-Stick Removable Loose Bottom. | Carbon Steel 9In Tart Pan, The 9.5 Inches at the Top and 9 Inches at the Bottom, With a Depth of 1.1 Inches.
Choose RICHSC-PAN for a simple 9-inch tart with fluted sides and a 1.1-inch depth. It is a compact, lighter option for fruit tarts and quiches when you do not need the extra depth or second pan.
Do you need a deep dish or a classic tart pan?
The Vnray is the clear choice for deep fillings: its listed depth is 2.3 inches, compared with 1 to 1.2 inches for the other pans. That extra wall height gives you more room for a deep quiche or a fuller pie, though the usable filling depth will be a little less than the rim height. For a classic fruit tart or a shallower quiche, I’d choose EPPARN, DATANYA, Wilton, or RICHSC-PAN instead of buying more pan than your recipe needs.
Would you rather have two pans or one?
For hosting, batch baking, or making two different fillings, the Vnray and EPPARN both come as pairs. The Vnray pair prioritizes depth; EPPARN gives you a wider 10-inch top with a shallower 1.2-inch profile. For one regular tart at a time, DATANYA is a good middle ground, while Wilton and RICHSC-PAN suit smaller, shallower bakes.
How do you get a crisp bottom without damaging the pan?
A removable base helps you lift a delicate crust out for serving, but it does not by itself prevent a soggy center. Blind-bake the shell when your recipe calls for it, and bake the pan on a preheated sheet if you want better contact with heat from below. These pans have nonstick coatings, so cut slices on a serving board or plate rather than in the pan; use a non-scratch scrubber and dry the fluted edges and rim promptly after washing.

Questions buyers ask
Can I bake a double-crust pie in a tart pan with a removable bottom?
You can, but it is awkward: tart pans have fluted sides and a loose base, so sealing and crimping a top crust is less convenient than in a conventional pie plate. For a double-crust pie, I’d use a regular pie dish; use a removable-bottom tart pan for open tarts and quiches.
Which pan here is closest to a two-inch-deep quiche pan with a loose base?
The Vnray is the closest match; support its loose base from underneath when moving a filled pan.
Will butter or filling leak through the removable bottom?
A loose-bottom pan has a seam, so very fluid fillings or butter can seep out, especially before a crust sets. Set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips, and avoid pouring in a thin filling until the shell is ready to bake.
Can I cut slices directly in a nonstick tart pan?
I wouldn’t: the removable base can shift while you cut. Let the tart cool, then lift it out with the base supported and slice it on a board or serving platter.
Do dark nonstick pans brown crust differently from aluminum pans?
Dark pans generally absorb heat more readily than light-colored pans, so crust edges can brown sooner. Aluminum conducts heat more readily than steel, but a soggy bottom is usually more about filling moisture and baking method than whether the aluminum is anodized. The picks here are steel or carbon-steel pans, not anodized-aluminum options; keep an eye on the edges near the end of baking and follow your recipe’s doneness cues.
Are these pans rust-proof?
Treat steel pans as needing prompt, careful drying rather than as rust-proof. Stainless steel generally resists rust better than tin-plated or carbon steel, but drying still matters; these picks are steel or carbon steel. Pay particular attention to the flutes, rolled rim, and removable base, where water can linger; use gentle cleaning so you do not wear or scratch the coating.
How do I remove a tart without breaking its crust?
Let it cool and set first, then support the removable base from underneath as you release the ring. Don’t carry a hot pan by the loose base alone; keep it level and use oven mitts or a trivet when handling it.
Should I choose an uncoated tart pan to avoid scratches?
An uncoated pan avoids a coating that can be scratched, but the crust may be more prone to sticking, so grease it as your recipe directs and release it carefully. For these nonstick picks, avoid metal utensils and use gentle cleaning.
