* The Elements of Successful Cooking and Baking |

Print this Recipe * Read through the entire recipe before you start, taking note of what ingredients and equipment you will need, and how much preparation and cooking time is necessary. * Use the best ingredients for the best results. Fresh ingredients will help ensure that your final product is a success. * Clean equipment and work surfaces as you go, to reduce clutter and final cleanup. * Preheat your oven for 15 minutes before baking. * Invest in an oven thermometer to monitor the accuracy of your oven's temperature. * Carefully space pans in the oven, placing single pans in the center rack. When using more than one pan, make sure that there are 2 inches of space around each pan in every direction. PIE BAKING * Use dark metal, dull-finish aluminum or glass pie pans, since shiny pie pans can cause a pie to have a soggy bottom. When using glass pans, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees, as the pan will tend to hold heat. * Don't stretch pie crusts as you place them in the pan. Stretching will cause the crust to shrink during baking. * Brushing the top of a pie crust with 1 beaten egg white or cold milk will give it a light sheen; brushing the crust with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water or whipping cream will make a glossy, golden dark brown crust. A mixture of 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar will produce a crisp, sweet crust. Plain water will produce a crisp crust, too. * Don't brush glaze on the crimped edges of a pie crust until the last 10 minutes of baking, or the edges might get too dark.
