Serious Eats YouTube Playlist: Pie
"An all-pie Thanksgiving should be mandatory in this country," said our SE overlord Ed famously (at least in this office) last week. We were gathering around the kitchen our all-pie Thanksgiving, his fantasy realized. We shouldn't have to prove to you at this point that we love pie. That flaky, tender crust can be filled with everything from soft, cinnamon-speckled apples to chicken, carrots, and burst-ready peas. Here are some videos that celebrate the pie!My All-Pie Thanksgiving Fantasy
When you think about Thanksgiving and you think about various elements of the Thanksgiving meal, it seems like you're just waiting through the big meal to get to the pie. I really believe this, which is why I always fantasized about an all-pie Thanksgiving. (Anyone with me on this?) At an editorial meeting about a month ago, we were at the office talking about Thanksgiving coverage and I shared this fantasy with the team. Knowing how much I adore and obsess over pie, the Serious Eats editors weren't too shocked, so we did the only thing we know how to do: make it happen.Congrats to the Winners of Our 2011 Pi Day Baking Contest!
At long last, we have the results from our Pi Day 2011 Baking Contest co-hosted with the folks at Instructables. This year the competition sure was fierce. Selecting the finalists from a pool of 167 entries was definitely not easy as pie. Herewith, the winners!How to Make Your Pecan Pie More Exciting
Apples may get all the credit for being the "most American" of pies, but with pecans being the only tree nut native to North America, there's no reason we shouldn't all say "as American as pecan pie" now and again. The basic pecan pie recipe is pretty straightforward, but here are some ways you can change it up.This Week in America's Test Kitchen: Pumpkin Pie
One of the reasons people go overboard on the main dishes at Thanksgiving? Oftentimes, the desserts aren't worth saving any room for. Take pumpkin pie, for example. Too often, this holiday classic appears at the end of a Thanksgiving meal as a grainy, overspiced, canned-pumpkin custard encased in a soggy crust. The cooks at America's Test Kitchen set out to create a pumpkin pie recipe destined to be a new classic: velvety smooth, packed with pumpkin flavor and just enough fragrant spices. To do this, they concentrated the moist canned pumpkin, prebaked the pie crust, and relied on an unusual ingredient to boost the flavor. Watch the video here for step-by-step instructions or get the recipe at America's Test Kitchen (free registration required).Gadgets: Martha Stewart's Pie Gate
I don't need gadgets as an excuse to make pie, but why on earth not? Martha Stewart and I are clearly conspiring towards a world with more pie—more intact pies, as it may be—and I don't see too much protest in our way.Street Food Profiles: Oh My! Pocket Pies in Houston, Texas
It's time for another street food profile. Today, we chat with Joe Phillips and Joanna Torok of Oh my! Pocket Pies in Houston, Texas, where you'll find pies sweet and savory, burgers, and more.Gadgets: Lattice Pocket Pie Mold from Williams Sonoma
This lattice pie mold isn't the first such mold that Williams Sonoma has created. It follows the apple shape, the star, the heart—all things that were amazingly cute, but amazingly unpractical in my humble opinion. With this addition, I finally saw a glimmer of functionality, but did it meet expectations?A Guide to Wine and Dessert Pairings
So how to figure out what wine to pick with dessert? There are three factors to consider: acidity (an acidic wine may pair best with a fruit dish, which also has natural acidity), intensity (the more intense the flavors of a dessert, the more intense the wine), and sweetness (a dessert wine should be sweeter than the dessert itself).Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
