Baking a Perfect Pumpkin Pie

Account for carry over baking by taking the pie out of the oven when the center wobbles just slightly. Once the pie completely cools, the filling will be silky smooth and perfectly set.

Larger pumpkin pies may also crack when over baked

Thank you for showing what 'jiggly center' should look like, and the resulting textures. It's great to compare the three all at the same time

today (thanksgiving 2023) i used this video to decide when we should take out our pies. i'm so glad i did, because they came out perfectly! usually we overbake them, so having a genuinely smooth pie is really new and cool. thanks a bunch !!!

This taught me I’ve pretty much only had over baked pumpkin pie

[mashedpotato]

I will gladly eat the overcooked pie though

Forgot this rule of thumb and I have a pumpkin pie in the oven. Didnt want to over bake or under bake it this time. Thank you! Glad I'm practicing before the holidays.

This dude actually helps out so fucking much without dragging it out, thanks so much

The recipe told me the jiggly part and that a knife should come out clean and I was questioning each time if it was clean or not. So i kept putting it back in. Glad i saw this in time before i super over baked it.

Yesterday was my first time baking pumpkin pie and i baked it PERFECTLY i honestly shocked myself two times because of that and because it actually tasted good!

Thank you so much for these clear, quick, and concise instructions

The "overcooked" pie tastes better. You get a little caramelization going on there and that tastes good. I don't care if the filling isn't silky. I want it to taste good more than I care about pie filling texture.

The underbaked now looks satisfying to look at when you shake it side to side

My pie is currently in the oven and I raced to this video to make sure I'm not leaving it too long

I cook mine for 1 hr on 350. This has been great for me 😊

This is genius 👌 Reminded me of how people made pies back in the monarch era.

Thank you!! I wont go NEAR libby mix because it tastes mildewy to me! Its sooo easy to bake sugar pumpkins sliced in half, stabbed from the back w a big kitchen knife, & put on a greased cookie sheet with soybean oil, 400f face down for 30 min. Peel the skin and blend into a puree! No ingredients.

The overbaked one has a cheesecake texture and also tastes very good.
