Pie Recipes| Whirlpool Gold Induction Range (1)

“People love to make pie for a variety of different reasons. For some, it’s a welcome, tactile relief from the tedium of their nine to five job. For others, it’s about creating a family tradition or a legacy they can pass on to their children. For still others, it’s all about sharing and the sheer joy that comes from making a pie and giving it away to a neighbor or friend.” ~ Ken Haedrich, The Pie Academy

Pie Fun Facts:

According to a 2008 survey by Crisco® and American Pie Council:
• Nearly one out of five (19%) of Americans prefer apple pie, followed by pumpkin (13%), pecan (12%), banana cream (10%) and cherry (9%)
• Pie just isn’t for after-dinner dessert. Thirty-five percent of Americans say they’ve had pies for breakfast. Pies as lunch (66%) and midnight snacks (59%) also have a popular following.
• When asked what dessert Americans would prefer a friend or family member bring to their house for a holiday dinner, pie was the winner with 29%. Cake (17%) and cookies (15%) rounded out the top-three spots.
• More than one-third of Americans have eaten pie in bed
• Nearly one in four women believe that they make the best pie – better than Mom or Grandma
• Pumpkin pie was first introduced to the holiday table at the pilgrim’s second Thanksgiving in 1623.

If you ask me, the best thing about Thanksgiving is choosing which pie to sample first.

Ok, so many pies are baked right? You could bake some really amazing pies in a new Whirlpool Gold® 6.2 cu. ft. Capacity Induction Range with TimeSavor™ Plus True Convection Cooking System .

About six weeks ago, I got all new Whirlpool appliances in my kitchen. I love opening the 29 cu. ft refrigerator and being able to easily see the food inside, no more left overs are left in a dark spot behind the milk. I love how I can run a small load in the Dishwasher using only the Top Rack Wash Option and how it automatically selects the right wash and dry settings for my load by using two separate sensors to measure temperature, soil level and load size! I love all the extra counter space I gained by installing my new microwave over my range, and it’s SO easy to clean with the CleanRelease® non-stick interior. But my biggest love has to be my new range with induction and convection cooking!

Here are a few of the features of the Whirlpool Gold® 6.2 cu. ft. Capacity Induction Range with TimeSavor™ Plus True Convection Cooking System

  • AccuBake® Temperature Management System Achieve uniform baking results every time with the AccuBake® temperature management system. A built-in sensor monitors oven temperature and controls the cooking elements to deliver consistent, delicious results every time.
  • TimeSavor™ Plus True Convection Cooking System Seal in flavor and juices with the TimeSavor™ Plus true convection cooking system. A rear fan and a third heating element in the back of the oven circulate hot air over, under and around food to bake quicker than an oven without true convection. TimeSavor™ Plus true convection cooking roasts up to 30% faster.
  • AquaLift™ Self-Clean technology delivers easy and odor-free oven cleaning in only 50 minutes. Our most energy-efficient cleaning self-cleaning cycle available uses water and low-heat to release baked-on foods from the bottom of the oven. When the cleaning cycle is complete, soils and excess water can be easily removed with a dry towel.
  • Induction cooking technology This advanced cooktop offers faster, more efficient cooking technology and easier cleaning. The 9″ 3,200-watt Induction Boost element even boils water in half the time by transferring energy directly into any magnetic cookware.
  • Rapid PreheatRapid Preheat uses all of the elements and a rear fan to heat the oven quickly and efficiently. Now you can save time when single-rack baking with 25% faster preheating.
  • EasyView™ extra-large oven window Keep the heat inside your oven while checking on dishes through the industry’s largest window available. Now you can keep a close eye on cooking progress without opening the door or disturbing oven temperature with the new EasyView™ extra-large oven window.

Amazing right?! I love being in the kitchen, but now, I never want to leave the kitchen!

FAQs

What should the internal temperature of a pie be? ›

Food thermometers come in low-tech, high-tech, and super-high-tech versions. Any of them will tell you the internal temperature of your pie, and the number you are looking for is 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the number 2 most important thing when making pie crust? ›

I like to use pastry flour because it contains less gluten than all-purpose flour and therefore creates a more tender crust, but all-purpose flour will work just fine if that's what you have on hand. The “2” is fat. Butter is the most common type of fat used, but other solid fats will work as well.

How do you score top pie crust? ›

The simplest way to add vents to a top crust is by cutting slits in it with a sharp knife. Four or five 2-inch slits, arranged circularly, radiating from the center toward the edges, should be plenty. You can use your finger to widen the slits slightly.

Why do some pie recipes start with a baking temp of 450 and then lower it? ›

Some recipes call for baking the pie in a 450 degree F oven to begin with, then turning down the oven to about 350 degrees F. This helps set the shape of the crust in recipes with a lot of fat; it can keep your crust from slouching.

How do you tell if a pie is fully cooked? ›

Try the Toothpick Test

The way you test a cake for doneness also works for pumpkin pie: Insert a toothpick (or a knife) near the center of the pie and, if it comes out clean, your pie is done. If it's oh-so-close, keep in mind that the custard continues to cook as the pie cools.

What is the best temperature to keep pie dough? ›

For Flaky Pie Crust, Keep Everything COLD, Especially Your Butter. If your kitchen is above 73°F, you can refrigerate all of your ingredients and equipment including your bowl, rolling pin, and pie plate until it's between 65-70°F (dip an instant-read thermometer into your flour to gauge the temperature).

What is the secret to a great pie crust? ›

Start with chilled ingredients

Butter creates a sturdy, crisp pie crust. For this, it is important to keep all ingredients cold which will inhibit the development of gluten in the flour. Use butter right out of the refrigerator and add ice-cold water to make the dough.

Why do you poke holes in pie crust before baking? ›

With docking, the holes allow steam to escape, so the crust should stay flat against the baking dish when it isn't held down by pie weights or a filling. Otherwise the crust can puff up, not only impacting appearance but also leaving you with less space for whatever filling you have planned.

What oven setting is best for pies? ›

When pies are baked in the traditional Bake mode, the recipe temperature will be in the 375-400F range. However, when baking in convection, it is advisable to reduce the recipe temperature by 25 degrees to avoid overcooking the edge of the pastry.

Will parchment paper keep pie crust from burning? ›

Unfold the parchment paper and test out your shield on the pie plate to see if the crust will be sufficiently covered. You may need to trim the outside edges of the parchment paper, if there is a lot of excess that hangs off. Now you have an easy one-time-use parchment shield that will prevent your crust from burning!

Can I bake at 325 instead of 350? ›

Yes, when baking at a lower temperature, it's important to adjust the baking time accordingly. In general, you may need to increase the baking time by 10-25% to compensate for the lower temperature.

What temperature should pies be heated at? ›

Pre-heat the oven to 180 ºC / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4. Place pies on a baking tray and cover with foil, this stops the pie tops from burning. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven for around 5 minutes ensuring the pies are piping hot.

What is the internal temperature of a pie when reheating? ›

  2. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven (or 350 degrees convection) for 50-60 minutes (times may vary).
  3. The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. ...

How hot should a fruit pie be in the middle? ›
