Pecan Pie leaked under crust. I need tips on how to get the pie out of the pan.

Question

Once the pie is cooled it will need a chisel to get it out of the corning pie plate.  Can I warm the pie slightly to allow the carmelized sugar on the bottom to soften up before I try to serve slices?

You're most welcome, Karen. I'm glad the day was saved and the pie as well!

Karen · Answer

This technique of 15 minutes in a 250 oven worked perfectly.  Every slice came off the pie plate intact with only a little effort to separate it from the bottom.  And there was also the bonus of the pie being just slightly warm.  Thanks for the support boulanger!

Karen · Answer

I wondered about that.  Thanks for the confirmation.  It's worth a try!

boulangere · Answer

Try setting it in a warm oven, around 250 degrees, for 15 minutes.
