Settle a family discussion: can a berry pie sit out cooked from Tuesday night till Thursday? Or do I actually have to cook it Wed? #thanksgivingprep #pie #pietime

Or should I make the pie and freeze it fully/formed before baking? I basically just don’t want to be making a pie Wed night

@gurftastic the pie is fine sitting out from Tuesday to Thursday.
@EveretteM that’s what I’m talking about
@gurftastic holding back and not eating the pie during this time is the hard part.
@EveretteM luckily I’ve stocked up on cookies and ice cream to tide me over
@gurftastic I suggest freezing and then baking from frozen if you want the best crust. You can bake it Tuesday for Thursday if you want, but then your crust, even well baked, will have time to absorb fruit juices and soften.
@Adoxograph this is the kind of info I was hoping for! Yeah I think the plan is make and freeze then bake Thursday
@gurftastic mine too! Have fun with your bake!
@Adoxograph thank you! Now back to my regularly scheduled duck-fat based shenanigans.
@gurftastic bring the potatoes!
@Adoxograph we have a 2lb:people potato to human ratio. It won’t be enough… cuz duck fat potatoes!
@Adoxograph just realized it’s 2lb per person… not to the total number of people. Basically, a lot of potatoes.
