Sep 07, 2011 | From the kitchen of Rose
Dear Friends,
As those of you who subscribe to the monthly blog newsletter know, Woody and I will be working with Kate Coldrick (of 'Kate Flour') in Devon, England.
There will be no blog postings until September 24 to ensure that this message will stay at the top of the blog.
Please do your best to respond to each other's postings and questions as you always so generously do!
Love,
Rose

Julie and RBR team, THANK YOU SO MUCH for commenting and giving me advice. WOW, the power of social media, where a fan can tap into the expertise of Rose and her team, just like that, is AMAZING. I will try what you suggest. I would be worried to do convection for the contest because my oven gets a little crazy with overdoing things. I may try it some other time when the stakes are not as high. But rotating and switching I think will help. I am using Rose's cream cheese crust recipe, but using the mascarpone variation. It does something MAGICAL. Happy baking, and send Rose our collective baking love. :) UDD

Urbandomesticdiva, Rose is traveling until the end of this month. My thought would be to put them both on the floor of the oven if they will fit with a little space around each, and be sure to rotate them left/right and to turn them around 180 degrees at lest once during baking. Glass pie pans could help you monitor browning.
Convection may or may not help, depends on your oven. In mine, it would just produce too much browning near the fan outlet.

HI pie bakers and Rose, I love you! You are the pie maven-goddess of all time. I use your recipes all the time. I am participating in a pie contest this weekend, and I have a question. I have to bake 2 identical pies, and usually, I am a purist and bake each separately at the bottom of the oven as you suggest on a baking sheet at 425. The problem is, I am usually up till 4 am doing this. Sooo, I was wondering if I can achieve pie greatness by baking two at once? Any suggestions? Convection? Moving around? Less heat? More? Don't do it at all and suffer? HELP! I really want to win this year and get sleep. LOL! xo
