PanSpanRemovable Tart Pan
Which removable tart pan will give me a neat crust that releases cleanly, and which one suits the way I bake?
For most home bakers, I’d choose the Patz&Patz set: its removable-base pan comes with a silicone crust shaper and a vented pie weight, so it helps with blind baking as well as release. If you want more room for a generous quiche or deeper tart, the DATANYA is the pick, with a 1.2-inch depth. The Wilton is a straightforward 9-inch choice for classic tarts and quiches, while the other pans make sense for particular preferences I’ll break down below.
#1 · Patz&Patz
Classic All-in-One Tart Pan 9 Inch Removable Bottom Set with Patented Silicone Crust Shaper & Pie Weight - Quiche Baking Dish & Tart Molds for Baking Fruit Tarts, Pies & Quiches
Choose this if you want help getting an evenly shaped crust and blind-baking it without loose baking beans. The included silicone shaper and vented pie weight make this the most complete option for a baker who wants a tidy, repeatable process.
#2 · 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
This is the one I’d take for deeper fillings: its 1.2-inch depth is the greatest of these pans, and its carbon-steel construction suits regular home baking. Pick it for generous tarts and quiches when you want more height than a classic shallow tart pan.
#3 · Wilton
Wilton Excelle Elite Non-Stick - Non-Stick Tart and Quiche Pan with Removable Bottom, 9-Inch, Steel
A good fit if you want a simple, familiar 9-inch pan for traditional tarts and quiches. Its 1-inch depth keeps it on the shallow side, and it comes with a 10-year warranty.
#4 · 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 this if you want a black carbon-steel pan with fluted sides and a little more depth than the Wilton. The 1.1-inch sides give a quiche or fruit tart a bit more capacity without moving into the deeper-pan category.
#5 · FIDZ PAN
FIDZ PAN Tart Pan 9 Inch Removable Bottom- Carbon Steel Quiche Pan, Rust & Temperature Resistant Quiche Baking dish 550-600 °F- Non-Stick, Sturdy & Dishwasher Safe- Perfect for Baking Tarts
This suits a baker who wants a 9-inch carbon-steel pan and values its stated high temperature range. It’s a sensible option for varied baking, but I’d still follow the temperature limits of the recipe and avoid treating a nonstick pan as indestructible.
Do you want help blind-baking the crust?
If the answer is yes, take the Patz&Patz set: the silicone shaper helps form an even crust, and the vented silicone weight is included for blind baking. If you already have baking weights and prefer a plain pan, the Wilton or DATANYA keeps the choice simpler.
How deep should your quiche or tart be?
For a taller filling, choose the DATANYA, which is 1.2 inches deep. The RICHSC-PAN and FIDZ PAN are 1.1 inches deep, while the Wilton is 1 inch deep. None of these is a 2-inch-deep pan, so for unusually deep custard or a recipe that specifically calls for that height, these aren’t the right match.
Are you worried about butter or filling leaking?
A removable bottom is convenient for lifting out delicate pastry, but it is not the same as a sealed pie dish. For a very buttery crust or a loose quiche filling, set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet; that’s the simple precaution I’d use with any of these.
Do you want a basic pan or a more feature-rich option?
For a straightforward everyday pan, I’d take the Wilton. For more capacity, choose the DATANYA; for a kit that tackles crust shaping and blind baking, the Patz&Patz set earns its place. The other two are reasonable alternatives if their stated construction or temperature range is what matters most to you.

Questions buyers ask
How do I keep a removable-bottom tart pan from leaking?
Keep the pan level while filling and moving it, and avoid particularly runny mixtures: the loose-bottom seam is not watertight. For a very buttery crust or a loose quiche filling, set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
How do I stop pastry sticking in the fluted edges?
Press the dough gently into the flutes rather than stretching it, then chill the lined pan before baking. Let the crust cool enough to firm up before lifting the base, and avoid digging at the ridges with a knife.
How do I get a crisp bottom crust instead of a soggy one?
Blind-bake the shell when your recipe calls for it, using weights to stop the pastry puffing. The Patz&Patz set includes a vented silicone pie weight; with the other pans, you’ll need your own baking weights or another recipe-appropriate method.
Is any of these a heavy-duty pan that won’t warp?
The DATANYA and RICHSC-PAN are described as heavy-duty carbon steel, and the Patz&Patz set is also carbon steel. No pan is warp-proof: avoid sudden temperature changes, don’t heat it empty for longer than a recipe requires, and support the pan from underneath when moving it.
Is there a deep dish tart pan with a removable bottom here?
No—if your recipe calls for a 2-inch side, choose a true deep-dish quiche pan instead; these tart pans suit classic crusts and moderately filled quiches.
How should I care for a nonstick tart pan?
Hand-wash with a soft sponge and avoid metal tools and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the coating. Dry the pan fully before storing it, and avoid stacking it against bare cookware where the surface can get scratched.
