Anyone else like to twist their pies in the pan, or is it just me?

    Just something I did a couple years ago with a new recipe when I wasn’t sure if the bottom baked up nicely, and now it’s become a habit.

    I call it the twist test: Once the pie has cooled, I gently try to twist the pie around in the pan by the edges. If it twists easily, I know the bottom crust has baked fully/gotten crispy, so the first slice will lift out beautifully with little extra effort. If the pie doesn’t twist, then I can mentally prepare for a really ugly first slice lol

    I’ve never done that before! I would be too scared it would fall apart 😭

    No because mine never turn out that well 😂😂 That is a beautiful and very well constructed pie

  4. De-panning pies used to be a normal thing to do with pies. Most modern pie crusts are too delicate or the filling is too wet.

    Nice looking pie!

    I do a lot of 5″ pies and will literally turn them out upside down onto my (gloved) palm to check the bottom because it’s so satisfying!

    That and seeing a golden pie bottom makes me proud of myself every single time lol

    My mother was a huge pie baker and I never saw her do that. Sometime she would take a thin spatula and slide it underneath to make sure there was no sticking but rotating it? No.

  10. Well! That’s one way to check it all got cooked!

    This is a serious crusty flex. I’ll need a sample, you know, to make sure it’s not poisonous…

    Well, now this will be something I do! It never occurred to me before, but it is a good gauge of a good crust

    That is a beautiful pie! What kind of pie is it?

    You could start a pie ESMR channel with this content

    I have a fancy, fluted pan. But now I kinda want a smooth one.

    I haven’t tried that before! I don’t know if it will turn out as good as yours!

    Yes, I do because it’s a clear sign that the crust isn’t soggy and also indicates that the pie is fully baked and completely cooled.
