Please help me and my pecan pie!?

If you proceeded with the exact recipe that I assume that included eggs or egg yolks, DON'T FREAK OUT~~~all pecan pies are "liquidy" when the come out of the oven...just cool it on a baking rack at room temp TO room temp and it will be fine............

Usually your basic(not deep dish)pecan pie recipes bake around

375* for about 45-50 mins.While the pie is "Hot"

you can check to see if it's done by inserting a knife into the center of your pie,if the knife comes out clean it's "Done",but you said it had set about 45 mins.If you think it's not done place back into your oven at 375*or if it's running a little hotter reduce heat to 350* and bake for about 10-15min

(getting the pie Hot again)after 10mins check with your knife,keep testing about every 5 mins until your knife come out clean.You will need to place cut strips of foil around edges of crust to prevent crust from getting to dark or even burning.

I have noticed that there are different kinds of pecan pie fillings.Some have a firmer texture when you slice them and some have a softer texture.It could be that your pie is done, it's just one of those recipes with the softer texture.I guess you will have to decide & make that "Call"

"Good Luck"

raven, at this point you may be finished baking your pie. 350 is plenty hot oven, on my pecan pies, i usually take about 55min. and the top starts to crack ,letting the last of the moisture from the pie. at a tempeture of 375 and the high sugar content of a pecan pie both the crust and the pie will surely burn. good and good baking. bacondebaker

Go ahead and put it back in the oven at a slightly lower temperature. If you do this, don't expect perfection because as the pie cools, it changes its texture and composition. But it will eventually cook all the way.

If it is DEFINATELY not done then yes, put it back in straight away, well foiled around the outside crust area, make sure its at a low low temp 150 C and for another 1/2 hr or so, or until a skewer comes out clean. Please make sure it isn't cooked tho!!
