Disaster - Hot Crust Pie Has Cracked Open!
2 Answers
My hot crust game pie cracked down the side just as I was taking it out of the oven. I caught the juices but can't put them or the gelatine stock into the pie as they just pour out again. How can I seal the crack? Grateful for any help as the pie is supposed to be the centre piece for Boxing day.
Many thanks

Do you have a tin that is a good tight fit around the pie? If so put it in the tin and let it cool/ set fully ( at least 8 hours) then make the gelatine stock and let that set until it is thickening. Pour it in and let it set , it should seal the crack and fill the pie. Alternately let the pie cool and set then turn it on its side , cracked side up and use the crack as the filling...

I make large pork pies and I have had this problem but got over itby one of the methods I have told you. One time I had to wrap the pie tightly in foil and cling film to seal a crack and fill it but it still worked.
