How do you prevent pie crust edges from burning?
You can cut narrow strips of aluminum foil and cover the fluted edges; this can be problematic, though, since it's difficult to get the foil to stay where you want it. Or you can buy the commercial item, which is much easier to work with. It's shaped like a giant tin or plastic ring and sits directly on the edges of the pie, leaving the center open for browning. Most kitchen stores and some discount department stores will carry this for about $20.
If you wrap a pie in a bacony crust is it still a pie?
A pie remains a pie regardless of the type of crust it is baked in.
Can you safely cook a dish in the oven covered with Reynolds plastic wrap?
No, you cannot, the wrap will melt into the food and over the dish. Use aluminum foil or a pie tin for a cover.
Where to purchase small foil pie pans?
Reynolds wrap
How do you prevent a pie crust from shrinking up on the sides of the pie?
Cover the edge of the pie with foil.
The top of your pie is browning too much but the inside is not cooked can you cover the top of the pie?
Yes, aluminum foil works well. Make sure it is vented so that steam doesn't soak the crust. The filling should be pre-cooked before going into the crust, and the lower crust can be pre-cooked as well.
How do you freeze chess pie?
To freeze chess pie, leave the pie in its pan, and cover tightly with plastic wrap, wrapping the plastic entirely around the pie to seal completely. Then seal the entire pie in a plastic pie keeper, which will prevent the frozen pie from being crushed. The next best choice would be a cardboard box, or construct a "pie keeper" from two aluminum pie pans that are bigger than the chess pie. If nothing else is possible, seal the wrapped pie in a freezer bag, two regular plastic bags, or wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Mark the package clearly with the date.
What do you use to weight the pie crust down while baking?
Pie weights, rice, beans, an aluminum pie tin
How do you store lemon meringue pie cover with saran or foil refrigerate?
Saran Wrap is better than foil for meringues. It is much lighter and more flexible. It will keep your points from getting all smashed up. If you are concerned about preserving the look of your pie, insert toothpicks about halfway into the meringue so that the wrap sets on top of the picks instead of the pie.
Is it better to refrigerate or leave out a cream pie after baking?
yes if it is rapped in tin foil or plastic wrap
What is the easiest way to transfer pie crust to pie pan?
I have found this the most successful. Place a sheet of cling wrap on the counter, put your disc shaped round of pie crust on it, and cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. You will be able to roll your crust sooo thin and even. When you're done rolling jiggle the lower sheet of plastic wrap gently to unstick the crust from the counter without distorting it. Then you will be able to gather the outer edges of plastic wrap and crust and lay it over the pie plate. Be sure to ease the sides down in towards the middle to your crust won't rip. Tip the wrap/crust half way from left to right over your right hand (like a big taco shell). While holding the dough with your right hand gently remove the wrap from the bottom of the LH side of crust. When you've loosened the wrap, lower it to the bottom of the pie plate and push it gently towards the middle (lifting a little with your right hand to give some space for the wrap. Lay the crust that's on top of your right hand back over to the left side of the plate, again, easing the sides so the dough doesn't rip. To remove the plastic from the other side fold the dough from R to L and gently loosen the wrap. As you remove the wrap from what will be the RH side of the dough jiggle out the remainder of the plastic and continue to ease your crust into the plate. OR if that is too complicated (even though it does guarantee perfect results) after rolling pull of the top sheet of wrap and loosen the bottom layer with the crust on it from the counter. Invert your pie pan over the crust, slide your hand under the plastic beneath the crust and just give it a flip. If it tears, just ease it back in to place and use a moistened finger to "melt" the tear away. Good luck. Julie
What is the difference between a single pie crust and a double crust?
A single pie crust is just the bottom crust on a finished pie. For instance, a French Silk or pumpkin pie is a single crust pie.A double crust is a pie that has a bottom, filling and then a top crust to cover the pie. A traditional apple or blueberry pie is a double crust. An apple pie with a crumble topping instead of that second crust on top is a single crust pie.
