EditTips

  • To reheat a pie from the fridge that has already been baked, try this: Dip a sheet of greaseproof paper in cold water. Allow excess water to drip off. Wrap this around the pie like a parcel. Reheat in a moderate oven. The wrapping will stop the pastry from turning dry and hard.

EditThings You'll Need

  • Frozen pie
  • Strips of foil
