Has anyone used this for making pie crust? I thought I read somewhere that coconut oil could be used for pie crust but would like to know for sure.

You can but I read somewhere you will have a tougher crust. Best to use lard.

I used it for custard pie. It was a little bland so I'll try adding an egg yellow and a little vanilla next time.

I only used it as a filling between layers on a cake and when you do that, you do not cook it. I probably wouldn't use it to make a pie, but instead would use Comstock pie filling or any other specifically named "pie filling" that typically comes in a can at your local grocery store. Most pies made with pie filling need to be baked, unless it is a cream pie, i.e: chocolate cream, lemon

I just looked this up online and this would be fine to use in any of the recipes I saw. Looks interesting. I may try it myself. :-)

uh, it has sugar and eggs but no fat or flour? Is this a test? Do I win? Every pie crust I make has fat, flour, and a bit of water but no sugar or eggs. I do have a quiche crust that uses eggs and could do with some sugar but it still has fat and flour. Otherwise what we have here is a sweet omelet.

Aloha Melissa! I have only used this product for making cookies - peanut butter and snicker doodles, and pastry for lemon tarts with great results. I am baking a pumpkin spice cake this week and promise to post my results.

I just made an apple pie and tried rolling out the crust on the mat. I would NOT recommend doing it. Actually, the dough stuck to the mat and I needed to flour the mat and then roll it out. I do have two silicone mats, one is the Wilton 14-1/2 x 9-1/2, the other is Cuissential 15" x 11". I used the Cuissential. I don't think there would have been much difference (if any) had I used the Wilton since when I bake cokies, both mats react the same. In the end, I would up flouring my countertop and rolling the dough out there. The positive was that I wasn't restricted in the size that I could roll the dough out to.

I would try it out using a recipe of 1/4 of the ingredients called for and see how it turns out pressing the dough into the pie pan instead of rolling and cutting. I personally don't use Gluten-free cooking, but this is my suggestion.

I am just trying coconut oil for oil pulling (have the oil in my mouth for the first time right now!). I have read people having fabulous results...

I use it for egg wash on pie crust. I hate to admit it, but I've never made my own bread. It does not leave streaks on the pie crust.

Oil up the pan with what ever type of cooking oil you like to use ( I am a coconut oil user) heat up the pan to cooking temp and make sure you don't burn the oil. Let the pan cool. Rinse the pan and your ready to use!

I didn't. I have used it to make carrot cake and coconut pie and both were great. I treated it just like any glour

Sorry, but this time I have to say an outright "no". It's too rough (like burlap) and although it might work, I wouldn't try. I bake pies as well and I much prefer using a smooth surfaced material for the tender pie crusts rather than this rough surface. Sometimes you can multitask a product but not this one for pie crusts. Cookie dough? Pretty much the same thing. This couche is fairly rigid as well as rough so again I wouldn't think of using it for anything else than forming bread loaves. Good luck!

I would only use olive oil for low temperature frying. Have you tried coconut oil. I use the spray.

I would use only coconut oil, won't go bad and last forever. But I think that this machine is the worst on the market, I have yet to find one that is worth the money or holds up. But this in y opinion is the worst machine that I have ever owned.

I haven't baked with coconut oil; I've fried eggs, and they are delicious. I've also fried veggies battered in egg and almond flour. I highly recommend! I've read that refined coconut oil tolerates heat differently than unrefined coconut oil.

I haven't tried using less oil, but neither my daughter or I have found the bread to be oily at all, so we are wondering what kind of oil you used. I always use canola oil. I also use a bread maker, so I don't have to grease a bread pan. That could also be a problem. One time I messed up a loaf by buttering the top like I always used to do with the wheat bread I used to make before going gluten free. Bad idea!
