Lemon Meringue Pie

[mrs mop]

I have been making lemon meringue pies for years without problems. Since I got a fan-assisted oven the meringue shrinks from the edges of the pie. I have reduced the oven temperature but it still shrinks. Anybody got any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

Do you have to use the fan? Surely on most ovens it's just an option.

Have you tried the other way? i.e. by sticking to the same temperature but reducing the time? Many recipes seem to suggest that's the way to use a fan oven.

I do lemon meringue pies in fan oven - turn temp down to about 120.

Thanks Diddlydo I did reduce the temperature but not that much Will give that a try

Mm my, I fancy a lemon meringue pie! I haven' t made one for years. I wonder if the little ones would like it or find it too sour....
