Pie Baking Tips
Pies aren't that hard to bake. If you don't have a more-experienced person there to guide you, here are some helpful tips:
- Place a cookie sheet under pies to catch any juices that overflow while baking.
- If the edges of your pie are browning too fast, shield them with aluminum foil strips.
- Cook pies on a wire rack, so air can circulate underneath. This prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
- When cutting cream pies, dip the knife in warm water between slices so the filling does not stick. Refrigerate cream and custard pies after serving.
