Help! (removing pie from dish)

I have to admit I'm pretty new to this (pie making) - but getting the hang of it.

Have got the homemade dough down OK

Have got a few fillings I like OK

Can bake up a pretty good looking (and tasting) pie OK

But then! At the last hurdle, this is where it all goes wrong: how to get the pie out of the dish without it disintegrating? My masterpiece! Ruined!

I use a 9 inch glass (pyrex?) dish, which I sprinkle with flour before putting the bottom pastry in.

I let the pie cool before attempting to remove it.

I cut it while in the dish - to remove one piece at a time.

I don't have any special implement designed for this (Is there one? I use a knife)

Anyway, can anyone give me any guidance as to what I ought to use/do?

Thanks all!

I cut with knife and use a wedge-shaped spatula to remove the pieces.

You didn't mention whether you let the pie cool long enough. Try waiting a little longer before you slice. I bet it still tastes good though. :-)

You're talking about removing one piece, right? You're not trying to remove the entire pie from the pan at one time, are you?

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Yes, I was talking about removing it one piece at a time (to whoever asked that), and that gizmo that someone linked to looks just the thing.

But, I think whoever suggested that I hadn't let it cool down enough might have hit the nail on the head. I can't help it! It comes out of the oven, and I go "Mmmmm! Pie!"

Thanks again everyone.

And the more I look at it, the more I think of attaacking a pie-shop tin (Marie Callendar, etc.) with an abrasive wheel. 1 tin ==> 6 easy-outs! One could even bake all 6 into the pie, I suppose.

Can't be helped, I know...
