No. A single pie crust should be rolled and cut to match your pie plate by turning the pie plate upside down over the dough, then cutting away excess dough about 1/2 - 3/4 inches beyond the outside edge of the overturned pie plate. Push away excess dough and bring your pie plate back to its upright position on your work surface. Lightly dust the remaining dough so that it will not stick to the plate or rolling pin, and then roll the dough onto the rolling pin you used earlier. Place the edge that is hanging out on this roll on the rolling pin against the pie plate leaving 1/2 - 3/4 inch depending on the thickness of the dough...if the dough has been rolled very thin then give yourself the extra 1/4 inch to prevent tearing of the dough as you unroll the rest of the dough onto the top of the pie plate. Make sure the flour-added side is facing down. Allow the dough to begin to sag and then help gravity by gently using fingers to push ever so lightly (to prevent tearing) and fit the dough to the shape of the plate. Along the ridge of the plate you can do many artistic decorations or simply use the back of a fork to press down the dough so that it will not slip during cooking. Then fill with your pumpkin pie recipe filling...I recommend the recipe on the back of the most popular canned pumpkin in the US. I have used it many times and it has always done well. Pre-heat oven as the recipe states and cook according to directions or until center of pumpkin mixture is set when pie plate is "jiggled" and the center no longer looks like a liquid. Enjoy your pie!

This will depend on the source of your water. In most developed countries, it is not necessary to boil water before freezing it for ice cubes because the water is safe to drink.
