Good questions, Sandy. First, we think you're correct that they're not drying out because they're small, but your recipe might also have that little bit of extra moisture that really helps out when dough isn't baked right away. When thawing them out, we think that opening them and using the toothpicks will give you the best results, but we'd recommend doing a little test with one of the pies in the vacuum seal, just to see if you're able to skip the toothpick step in the future.
