Exploring the kitchen in the farmhouse, you discover an old-fashioned pie vent in the shape of a blackbird. Vents like these prevent boil-over and soggy crusts by creating a chimney for steam and juices. It gives you an idea: what if the dark fog could be vented away from the Silent Village? Also known as pie funnels, pie vents are easy to use. After adding the bottom crust to your pie pan, place the bird in the center of the crust. Add filling around the bird. Then, drape your top crust, cutting a small hole for the bird to peek through. Of course, this whimsical blackbird is also a charming addition to any kitchen's decor. It measures about 4 inches in height. It arrives in a reusable cloth wrap. Pie Bird was featured in the Silent Village Box (October 2022). Bowls pictured in photos are not included.
