Space Home - Quiche Lorraine Deep Dish Pie Pan - 9.44 inch Tart Pans with Removable Bottoms - Apple Pie Pan - 9.44 inch Tarte Tatin Pan - Deep Dish Pie Crust - Quiche Baking Dish
Will this deep tart pan give me a crisp quiche crust and let me lift the finished tart out without breaking it?
If you want a deeper quiche or generously filled fruit tart with fluted sides, the Space Home pan is the one I’d choose over a standard pie plate. Its removable bottom helps you lift the baked tart out for cleaner slices, while the perforated carbon-steel pan is designed to help the crust bake evenly. The 9.44-inch pan is 2 inches deep, so it gives you more room for filling than the shallower alternatives here. Just don’t assume a loose-bottom, perforated pan is watertight: I’d bake it on a rimmed sheet pan to catch any drips.

Do you need a deep dish, or a shallower tart tin?
Choose this pan if you make tall quiches or fruit tarts that need extra space for filling. If you usually bake thin tarts, the extra depth is unnecessary and can make it harder to judge how much filling to use. The Jean Lemond is the shallow option for a slimmer crust and filling; the Yamteck sits between the two.
Will a metal pan give you a crisp bottom crust?
For a crisp crust, I’d take metal over a ceramic quiche dish: metal generally transfers heat to pastry more quickly, and this pan’s perforated design is intended to encourage air circulation. The perforations aren’t a substitute for good pastry technique, though. Chill the pastry before baking, avoid an excessively wet filling, and use a rimmed sheet pan underneath to catch drips.
Will the loose bottom leak?
A removable bottom is made for unmoulding, not for holding liquid like a sealed dish. With a perforated pan, I wouldn’t pour loose custard straight into an unlined pan; put the pastry shell in first and make sure it has no cracks, then place the filled pan on a rimmed baking sheet. That extra tray is the simple insurance that keeps a small leak from becoming a smoky oven mess.
How do you protect the nonstick coating and avoid rust?
Use silicone or other non-scratch tools, and lift the quiche onto a board or platter before cutting it—never slice directly in the pan. Hand-wash gently, dry the fluted rim and bottom thoroughly right away, and don’t leave the pan sitting wet. Those habits help protect the coating and reduce the chance of rust forming around damp edges.
How they compare
A roomy 2-inch-deep pan for generously filled quiches and fruit tarts, with perforations and a removable base for a cleaner release.
A shallower 9-inch tart pan with a removable base and a cake server included.
A shallow perforated pan for bakers who put a crisp, thin tart crust ahead of extra filling depth.
Who it suits
This pan is for the home baker who wants a deeper, neatly fluted quiche or fruit tart and cares about presenting it whole before slicing. If your old glass pie plate makes the first piece collapse when you serve it, the removable bottom is the useful difference here.
What you give up
- Its perforated, loose-bottom construction needs more care with wet fillings than a solid ceramic dish; use pastry as a barrier and bake over a rimmed tray.
- The deeper shape is less suited to thin tarts, and the nonstick surface means you need to avoid metal knives and abrasive cleaning.

Questions buyers ask
How do I cut quiche without scratching a nonstick tart pan?
Don’t cut it in the pan. Lift the tart out by its removable base, slide it onto a board or serving platter, then use your knife there; a non-metal server helps with the first slice.
Is a ceramic quiche dish or a metal loose-bottom pan better for a crisp crust?
Metal generally heats pastry more quickly, which helps promote a crisp base; ceramic heats more gently and is convenient for baking and serving in the same dish. Pick this metal pan when you want to unmould a fluted tart, but use a solid ceramic dish if avoiding leaks matters more than lifting the whole tart out.
What is the best quiche pan for a crisp bottom crust?
Look for a metal pan that heats the pastry well, and pay attention to the recipe and filling as much as the pan. This Space Home pan adds perforations for airflow and suits deeper quiches; the shallower Jean Lemond is a better fit for thin tarts.
How do I clean a loose-bottom tart pan without rust?
Hand-wash it gently, rinse away residue, and dry the flutes, rim and removable base promptly rather than leaving it to drip-dry. Store it fully dry, and avoid scouring the nonstick surface.
What if the removable bottom leaks while baking quiche?
Use a well-formed pastry shell with no cracks, and set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet before it goes into the oven. The tray catches drips; it doesn’t make the pan watertight, so don’t pour liquid custard into the bare pan.
Can I use a metal knife or spatula in this tart pan?
I wouldn’t: metal utensils can scratch nonstick coating, even if you’re careful. Unmould the tart first and cut it on a board or platter instead.
Is this a stainless-steel tart pan?
No. It is a carbon-steel pan with a nonstick coating, so treat the coating gently and dry the pan thoroughly after washing.
