When is a strawberry pie done?

The Crust:

* Golden brown: The crust should be a beautiful golden brown color, indicating it's cooked through.

* Firm: The crust should feel firm to the touch, not soft or doughy.

* No jiggle: If you gently jiggle the pie, the filling shouldn't wobble around excessively.

The Filling:

* Bubbling: The filling should be bubbling and have a slightly thickened consistency.

* Set: The filling should not be runny and should hold its shape when cut.

* Temperature: The internal temperature of the filling should reach 190°F (88°C). You can check this with a food thermometer inserted into the center of the pie, but it's not always necessary if the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Tips:

* Oven Temperatures: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature. A hot oven helps to ensure the crust cooks evenly and the filling thickens properly.

* Baking time: The baking time for a strawberry pie can vary depending on the size of the pie and the recipe. Start checking for doneness around the minimum time specified in your recipe and continue checking until it meets the criteria above.

* Overbaking: Overbaking can lead to a tough crust and a dry filling, so don't leave it in the oven too long.

Enjoy your delicious strawberry pie! 🍓🥧
