Handy, useful, decorative and whimsical. A must have in any baker's kitchen! Works effectively at venting double crusted pies. Simply place the bird in the center of pie and place filling and pastry top surrounding it. Bird releases steam through its mouth, allowing steam to escape from your pie, preventing bubbles and juices from boiling over and prevents a soggy pie crust. Made of oven safe ceramic. Hand washing recommended. Measures: 3.5" x 1.75" x 1.75" / 9cm x 4.5cm x 4.5cm.
