Help! (removing pie from dish)
I have to admit I'm pretty new to this (pie making) - but getting the
hang of it. Have got the homemade dough down OK Have got a few fillings I like OK Can bake up a pretty good looking (and tasting) pie OK But then! At the last hurdle, this is where it all goes wrong: how to get the pie out of the dish without it disintegrating? My masterpiece! Ruined! I use a 9 inch glass (pyrex?) dish, which I sprinkle with flour before putting the bottom pastry in. I let the pie cool before attempting to remove it. I cut it while in the dish - to remove one piece at a time. I don't have any special implement designed for this (Is there one? I use a knife) Anyway, can anyone give me any guidance as to what I ought to use/do? Thanks all! |

Try waiting a little longer before you slice. I bet it still tastes good though. :-) |

You're not trying to remove the entire pie from the pan at one time, are you? Priscilla |

Thanks to everyone who replied.
Yes, I was talking about removing it one piece at a time (to whoever asked that), and that gizmo that someone linked to looks just the thing. But, I think whoever suggested that I hadn't let it cool down enough might have hit the nail on the head. I can't help it! It comes out of the oven, and I go "Mmmmm! Pie!" Thanks again everyone. |

And the more I look at it, the more I think of attaacking a pie-shop tin (Marie Callendar, etc.) with an abrasive wheel. 1 tin ==> 6 easy-outs! One could even bake all 6 into the pie, I suppose. > But, I think whoever suggested that I hadn't let it cool down enough > might have hit the nail on the head. I can't help it!
