I'm so excited - I guess I have been using my piecrust decorating thingy (I have the one with lattice and hearts) backwards, trying to press it down on the crust and then picking out all the little pieces that did not separate from the crust. This looks much easier, don't know why I didn't figure that out! Thanks PJ!!! Funny you mention that, Maria - my fellow bakers in the test kitchen were all dutifully following the directions, doing as you describe, until I came in (an inveterate non-follower of directions) and just did it the way it made most sense to me. BINGO. Much easier. Sometimes it pays to be a rebel... :) PJH
