Anyone use a silicone pie crust shield? How do you like it?

[Anonymous]

My pie crust always gets too dark too fast. I usually cover it with strips of foil, but I would like something more efficient and easy to use.
Any feedback about these?

For example:

I have an old metal one that I use. It works fine but only fits one size. This one looks neat since it's adjustable. My only concern is that the silicone might be heavy enough to crack the outer crust.

I have one similar to what you linked, might even be the same one. It works great. Much easier than foil.

I have a metal one -- I love it!

I haven't used this one, but I would think a metal one that's a bit reflective would be more effective than silicone.

I use one like this ^^ that comes in 4 or 5 pieces, so I can fit various sizes of pie. I usually put it on about halfway through baking to let the crust set up and brown a little. Remove for last few minutes. The silicone works just as well as the old-school metal.

I have one like 9:12 posted and I really like it. It adjusts easily. Perfect crust every time. Just used it last night for quiche!
