Pie making is a beloved baking tradition, but one challenge many bakers face is cutting the pie neatly without ruining its presentation. The author shares personal insights on the joys and frustrations of pie-baking, particularly emphasizing the importance of cutting the pie correctly at the end. They introduce the concept of pie scorers—handheld tools that help mark where slices should be cut, preventing messy serving and ensuring that each slice looks appetizing. Utilizing these tips can enhance the overall pie-serving experience.
Essentially, a pie scorer is a lightweight, handheld metal press that allows you to mark where the slices should be cut on a pie.
You can get a tasty filling and a golden-brown crust that looks like it just sprang up from a recipe book, but you will risk ruining it all if you go to cut it and find that your pieces are coming out mangled.
Even though pies, and pie-making, come with many merits, there are also some less-than-enjoyable parts of the process that many bakers dread.
Luckily, I have curated some tips and simple hacks for slicing clean, perfect slices every time, whether your go-to is a classic apple or a cream-based concoction.
