  • @rveil12
    @rveil12 2 года назад +4

    I loved this video! The best part of the video technique is that you start each pie with a close-up of the crimping, and then you move on to the explanation. It's so much clearer to me to see what we're trying to achieve before you start the explanation. It's strawberry-rhubarb season, and I've got a lot of 5" pies to make for friends and neighbors. All these different ideas will keep me from getting bored. Though I have ceramic pie weights, for the "Pearl Crimp," I'll use the stylus pen from my iPad. I have no hope of being able to hang on to one small pie weight, but the 6"-long stylus will be easy for me to handle.

In particular, I would like to know how to best blind bake suing the pre-made dough and how to crimp when there isn’t quite enough dough. By the way, I loved these crimping ideas!!!

    As I sat with a boring pie crust in front of me, the scallop idea had me exclaim "THAT'S THE ONE!" I ended up using my long nails instead of the knife, and it went much faster. Thank you so much for this. I'm so excited for my beautiful scalloped-edged pecan pie!

    Will you do an episode of tea loaves? I mean like the banana/pumpkin/zucchini bread situation. Mine never quite seem done and are a bit heavy, but I follow the recipes exactly. It's super frustrating. Also will you discuss add-ons such as chocolate and nuts? They affect the bake and I'm not sure how to maintain control. You do such a good job of explaining the rules and how to break them and riff to make the bake mine.
