, I have not personally experienced any problems with this pie dish, but it is possible that some customers may find it too large for their needs. While most standard pie recipes call for a 9 inch dish, some may require a larger dish for deep dish pies or quiches. It's always a good idea to check the size requirements of your recipe before purchasing a pie dish. Additionally, you can always adjust the filling and crust amounts to fit a larger dish if needed. I hope this helps!
