A few questions you might have
What should I get ready before starting?
Set out the oven and saucepan. Read the first preparation step before you get going: If using homemade pie crust, blind bake it per the Pie Crust recipe and fill crust straight after removing from oven.
Which little step is worth remembering?
Start with the oven-preheating step in the recipe. Then use the preparation steps that follow to get the food ready for the hot oven.
What check should I look for as it cooks?
Keep this part of the method in view: Bake 45 - 55 minutes or until the centre is set but still has a slight jiggle and the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean but damp (if it still has pumpkin batter, keep cooking). (Note 2)
