- Follow package directions when using commercial pie crust mixes.
- Use the ingredients specified in all pastry recipes—don’t substitute or change.
- Use cold water unless otherwise specified. It helps make flaky pastry.
- Measure accurately—it’s important.
- Use pan size recommended by recipe so your filling will fit.
- Check pie-pan size by measuring top inside diameter.
- Use pans that are not shiny, such as glass or dull aluminum that do not reflect heat away from pie during baking.
- Use pie tape or a narrow strip of foil to cover pie edge if it gets too brown when baking.
- Cool baked pies on a wire cooling rack to let air circulate under and prevent sogginess.
