Do you cool a pumpkin pie to room temperature before refrigerating it?

Yes, otherwise you might warm up the fridge too much.


How long can you keep a lemon meringue for?

It takes about 2 days before the meringue begins to break down if you leave it covered at room temperature; it breaks down faster in cooler temperatures. If you are not a fan of the meringue, you can certainly skip adding any to the pie and use whip cream instead.


Why does meringue slid off the pie when you cut it?

Usually meringue pies leak because only the top of the meringue is done, and the uncooked portion of the egg whites liquify. Put meringue on a hot filling and bake at 325 until it is golden brown to avoid runny meringue.

Why is lemon meringue soup after refrigerating?

Uncooked meringues (including Italian meringues - i.e any meringue that is not baked until crisp) tend to 'weep' within 3-4 hours of making (their sugar and water from the egg whites leaks out), regardless of whether they are stored in a fridge or not. To combat this, some restaurants make the lemon tart and meringues seperately and only assemble just before eating.
