i bet if they took them off they wouldn't get soggy

We all liked Felicity Kendal Mikey :)

OT pies. I'm a pretty good cook,
Best wat is don't have too much moisture in the filling. Grease and flour the tin, and cover the top of the pie with tin foil or a baking tray on a shelf, for about 15 minutes to allow the bottom to start cooking first.

Oh, nice one Steve, thanks

Yes, she's still is nice and I can't remember what she was in back then

the good life :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmq1C3P4oCE

Of course

I had not expected that answer from you.

This is certainly the funniest topic in a long while. But what could one expect with 'soggy bottoms' for a title, haha.

I like Steve's tip!!!
And Delightfull's oven thingie. The best oven ever was from a gas furnace. Even heat throughout. Never had an electric oven that could come close.

I would like to know how these porcelain beads worked out? They were for the oven right? Not the soggy bottom?

Morning crystal, you put the beads on top of the pie base to help heat and keep the shape by stopping it rising.

Haha. My first thought was.....why make life difficult for yourself?

It's therapeutic on a Saturday morning, listening to the radio.
I love dancing around the kitchen naked with just an apron on

Cool, never heard of that :)

I hadn't until recently. You can use rice to but seems a bit of a waste

My thought exactly when I have to cook, grin. I prefer to get something that goes BLEEP PING!!! after 6 mins in the microwave (I know that ain't healthy) or other ready meals. I so don't like cooking
I'm trying to get back to cooking myself, I did so for 6 years, almost every day, but really don't enjoy it.

The apron is good. Protection, right, lol.

I used to go bleep after 3 minutes, maybe that's why she left me

Quite possibly. A man who bleeps during intimacy is quite distracting, hihi

Regarding the ceramic beads. Well I was rushing the job a few weeks ago and forgot to put the greaseproof paper in first.
When I remembered it was too late. I had to pick them out of the pastry

lol I bet you ate that with care

I love to make a quiche in the summer months . you want my method?
