This helps a little bit. Before you bake the crust, brush it with egg white. This forms a slight crust that you can't notice but seals the crust a bit.

Sticky clear liquid in lemon meringue pie making pastry soggy?

It sounds like the meringue is breaking down. This can be avoided by being careful before baking to spread the meringue topping all the way to the edge of the pie, so that the egg whites are touching the crust at all points.


Do you bake the pie crust before filling a ham and cheese quiche?

Normally in a lemon meringue pie the pie crust is fully cooked, then the lemon curd filling is added, then the Italian meringue is piled on top. To finish, most recipes will say to either give the pie 2-5 minutes in a very hot oven (to give the meringue some colour/crispyness), or to lightly blowtorch the meringue. The rationale for fully cooking the pie crust is because the pie will either only briefly be baked again, or will be finished with a blowtorch ; cooking times are far to quick to make any difference to how cooked the crust is.

Do lemon meringue pie need to be refrigerated?

No. Meringe does not have to be refrigerated. If it is, it gets hard and chewy. I suggest you leave it out in a room teperature area for a few days. After 2 or so days, you can put it in the refrigerator so it doesn't go bad. I hope this helped!
