Whoever came up with "Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil to keep from browning?"
Do they actually think this task is achievable by mortal humans with burnable flesh? I mean, how exactly DO you go about getting strips of aluminum foil to wrap tightly enough to stay around the edges of a pie that's been in the oven for 45 minutes?
Any thoughts here, those of you who are actually competent in the kitchen...?
And: do they make a Kitchen Gadget for this? If not, they should.

put the foil on the pie before baking. take it off when there is appx 15min left of baking. thats what i do.
well anonymous is ahead of yoiu and I. I too burned my hands trying to wrap foil around a hot pie plate. Tonight I did the wrap before baking but I'll tell ya, even cold those little suckers didn't want to stay on. Were you in my kitchen this week???

they DO have a gadget! but i never even cover it with Aluminum foil anyway or use the gadget and they turn out just fine... so you can leave that step off :)

I finally remembered what I used to do, for pumpkin pie anyway. Other pies never needed it, but the edges of my pumpkin pies would burn into carbon dust if I didn't cover them at the end. I used to put a piece of aluminum foil under the whole pie pan, and then wrap up the edges to cover the edge of the pie.
That was before I became a liberal hippie and decided natural resources, no matter how plentiful, should not be wasted. So, nobody do what I did. Do as I say, and do as I do*, but do not as I did, ever!
