• Trim any excess that is forced to the top edge.
• Crumb crusts need not be baked before filling, but if used unbaked, must be first chilled thoroughly or the filling will immediately disintegrate the crust.
• If baked before filling, they require a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. It is best to cool the empty baked shell before filling.
• Fill a prebaked shell with chiffon fillings, bavarian creams, or gelatin whips topped with sweetened whipped cream, or with custard or fruit filling, which may be covered with a high meringue.
