TIPS FOR LEMON PIE

1. When preheating the oven, make sure you have all ingredients ready to start making the pie.

2. Place the oven rack in the middle. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around the pie, resulting in even cooking.

3. The first thing to do before taking the pie out of the oven, is to stick a toothpick in the center of the pie. If it's dry, it's cooked.
