Okay, I'm attempting this for the first time in my life.

I have all the ingredients. No problem there.

The instructions say to use an Unbaked 9 inch Deep Dish pie shell. I bought this in the frozen food section.

It's a package with two pie shells.

Now it is in my freezer.

I have never used a frozen pie shell in my life. It does not say to use it when it's not frozen. It doesn't say anything. It just says "unbaked pie shell".

Now what the heck do I do with this thing in my freezer?

My friend said "don't do this on Thursday, you'll have mush". "Take one of the shells out today, put it in your refrigerator and you can bake the pie tomorrow".

So is this okay?

Hey, it's my first time, give me some slack!!! lol

hey Mel...........I would blind bake it for about 10 min so the bottom wont
be soggy. blind baking is baking without filling for a few minutes. maybe
your recipe says this. I try to make mine late wednesday night or
early thurs. morn.

Recipe doesn't say anything about blind baking (oh my god, I have to learn blind baking now?? lol)

So I take it out of the freezer and put it in the hot oven for 10 minutes, THEN I PUT IN THE MIXTURE, then I bake the pie??

Is this what you mean?

Help Help !!! lol

Mel.........I just went to a site I frequent and it said if you bake the
pie on a PREHEATED cookie sheet this will prevent soggy crust. It
also said make sure you cool it on a rack!! This way you dont have to
blind bake it! good luck.

I don't have a cookie sheet. I do have Reynolds Wrap. Can I take a sheet of that, put it in the oven, ten minutes later, I put in my pie?? Can I do that?

I'm not going to go and buy a cookie sheet just so I can use it for one day.

But I do thank youuuuuuuu.

I love you people. So helpful.
