, rice pudding or rhubarb sponge was what Mum and Gma used to make, I still have Mums one and use it for the things I have mentioned as well as shepards pie and scalloped potato. Starry you can still buy them, check out 2nd hand shops as well, enamel dish.

If it's metal then it would be called an enamel pie dish

Love those plain names that call a spade a spade :)You'll be lucky if you can find an original one that doesn't have chips in the enamel.

My Mum used to make all her pies in them, they were great, just called a pie dish, no name in particular.I doubt whether you could buy them now but someone else may know.

People used to use the small ones to make individual one-person pies.

I have one of those that was my Nana's. I remember her making steak & kidney pie in it. Yum!
I love using it because it brings back lovely memories of my Nana who died 19 years ago.
I also have her huge enamel roasting dish. They were made to last back then.

That's what people used before pyrex was invented.
My gran even used to make her famous Cornish Potato Cake in them, a circular one with a wide flat rim. You got a nice double effect fruit cake - crunchy edges and soggy middle, yum.

Enamel mugs and plates made in China are available there too, although they are heavy in tramping packs and there are lighter stainless steel ones you can buy now.

Enamel pie dish.but not for a normal pie, usually for shepherds pie. My mother has one that she brought over from the UK in 1959 and the family rice pudding has been made in it ever since.

we always just called them enamel dishes, and we used them for the dog's food!We might have called them pie dishes if we'd actually used them for pies!I don't know why they were used for the dog/s, they just always were, for as long as I can remember.
