I’m kidding, really. A good pie I would suck through a straw.
Nevertheless, if you want a slice to plate well (and this is a nicety when playing Pie Solitaire), you should let it cool enough to hang together.

That first, busted up piece is extra for the cook. Being broken, all the calories fall out.

That’s the doohickey I tried to describe upthread.
I regularly forgot to put it insert the crust…and it only does a half-arsed job of getting the slice out easily

Thought of this thread watching this video from a channel I follow where the pie gets un-molded and she flips it upside down in order to slice it. Very satisfying to watch.
