Charlie Bingham pie dishes

I have 6 that I bought in a charity shop.
What do you use them for?
I was thinking of making pot pies or crumbles for the freezer and they look the right size, but I wouldn't know how long to bake them for from frozen.

Any other uses? I confess I hadn't heard of the ready meal brand and just thought it was another homewares shop when I saw the name so Im a bit worried about exactly how reusable they'll be. Thanks

I reuse them, I make little fish pies (with a mashed potato topping). I've never put them in the oven from frozen though.

I use them as cat food dishes.

I make cottage pies, meat pies, crumbles etc. for the freezer. I tend to defrost before cooking. I also use them for nuts/Bombay mix or relishes. So do get a lot of re-use from them.

I put one in the microwave once and it started sparking. Tried a mug and it was fine so didn't try the pie dishes again. They're great for making puff pot pies and mini crumble portions as you say. Also for serving cold things like dips. I haven't tried freezing/reheating but I imagine treat them like any similar frozen food of the same size or maybe defrost on the side first?
