THE PIE PANTRY
While there are different ways to make a wide assortment of pies, the equipment that is used remains largely similar. Here is a list of the most basic tools you will require in your pantry to make electrifying and delectable pies.
Mixing Bowls
A glass mixing bowl of a good size (not too large so that you have trouble getting your grip on it, not too small that everything splashes out) is imperative in pie-making. Mixing bowls are used to combine pie fillings, as well as to mix the pie crust.
A Rolling Pin
Sure, you can have a few rolling pins sitting in your drawers, not just “a” rolling pin, but whichever one you choose to use to make your pie crust, make sure it is long enough for you to roll out a large enough piece of crust at one time, and not in a few batches which can result it uneven thickness. It should also provide a comfortable enough grip for you when working on your pie crust.
Pie Plates
Most bakers have a few of these available in their pantry, made of different materials. There are aluminum pie plates, ceramic pie plates or pyrex/glass pie plates. Each comes a list of pros and cons according to experts, but it really comes down to personal preference.
Pie Weights
No, the pie is not looking to build any muscle or anything like that, pie weights are used when blind baking a pie which is the term used to describe baking pie crust sans fillings. Thus, weights are needed to add bulk to the pie crust and to help keep its shape. Ceramic balls and metal chains are some options you have to use as pie weights, but dried beans work just as well too.
Tools for Fruit Prep
Believe it or not, there is actually equipment that you can purchase to ease fruit prepping! Some examples of frui
t prep tools include the cherry pitter, apple slicer and apple corer, all self-explanatory. While it make seem unnecessary as first, as you get more serious about baking pies, you will discover that owning a fruit prep tool or two can save you valuable time.
PIE-MAKING TIPS
Essentially, as with many other activities, practice makes perfect. This is true for pie-making as well. However, it never hurts to have some tips in mind from experts who have gone through the tried-and-tested process and to spare yourself the trouble of making unnecessary mistakes.
To effectively roll out even crust, have your dough sandwiched between two sheets of parchment paper lightly sprinkled with some flour. Start by rolling the dough from the center outwards. After each roll, turn the dough 90-degrees and roll again for a perfectly round shape every time.
When transferring your rolled out pie crust to the pie plate, first wrap the crust around your rolling pin and then unroll it onto the pie plate. It is as simple as pie.
The edges of the pie cook the fastest and therefore brown very quickly and easily. To prevent this, cover the pie edges with foil after the first 15 minutes of baking.
Never use pans with holes at the bottom when baking pies.
If you find that at the end of baking, the pie filling is runny or too wet, bake it for another 10-15 minutes.
