What do you suggest if a pie blows up in your oven? This hasn't happened to us yet, but we are wondering what to do if it does. Thank you, Lucas Kimball
Run, run right out of your kitchen down the block to the nearest bar & order yourself a pint (of ice cream for those under 21)!
Then call the fire department and tell them the situation. If you have not yet burned your house down, then invite them over for pie another day.
Cooking is one of those things that we do that always requires just a bit of caution. We do recommend not cooking your pie with an open flame. Who knows, the bacon fat could just cause a grease fire, perhaps even a small pie explosion. Flour is a good thing to keep on hand for grease fires in an oven or stove. Trust us on this one, flour will indeed put out a grease fire. As far as explosions go, especially with pies, we might recommend lowering the temperature on your oven, covering your pie loosely with aluminum foil and trying to avoid explosive ingredients such as popcorn, gas-holding fruits like prunes, bananas, and avoid having other things like cans of compressed liquids nearby.
If your pie does explode, don't look at this as a disaster, but rather a learning mystery. We would suggest that if you are exploding pies while a parents or spouse is out of the house, to have a dog or a younger brother to lay the blame on when someone gets home. If that doesn't work we suggest creating a gift to divert the attention of your loved one.
Good luck & wear your goggles. Safety first!
