Why do perforated quiche tins help prevent soggy pastry?
The holes allow hot air to reach more of the pastry surface while giving steam and excess moisture a route to escape. This encourages the base and sides to bake more evenly and develop a crisper texture.
Should pastry still be blind baked before adding a quiche filling?
For particularly wet or custard-based fillings, blind baking can still be worthwhile. Partially baking the pastry case before adding the filling gives the base additional time to crisp and helps protect it from absorbing too much moisture.
When is a 30cm quiche tin better than a 20cm tin?
A 30cm tin is particularly useful when making a larger tart or quiche to share, while a 20cm tin is better suited to smaller bakes. The larger surface area also gives you more room for decorative fruit arrangements and carefully presented toppings.
