Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

I am a true believer, a worshiper at the altar of an ultra-smooth mix.

But this essential tool needs to be cared for in order for it to remain useful for years and keep your food safe. Here are some things you should definitely avoid putting in the blender—no matter how powerful your blades are.

Does Pumpkin Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Whether it’s a homemade or store-bought pumpkin pie, learn if you need to store pumpkin pie in the fridge.

So you’ve baked up a beautiful homemade pumpkin pie from scratch. Or maybe you just got home from Costco and have carried a store-bought pumpkin pie from the car to the kitchen. Now what? Can that pumpkin pie stay on the counter, or do you need to refrigerate it? Read on to find out!

Does Pumpkin Pie Need to Be Refrigerated? 

The short and easy answer: Yes, pumpkin pie needs to be stored in the refrigerator. The USDA advises that all “egg-rich pies” must be kept refrigerated after baking and cooling. Pumpkin pie falls into this category, along with custard, pecan, and meringue pies.

This holds true whether you’ve baked your own pumpkin pie or brought a pumpkin pie home from the store. Both homemade and store-bought pumpkin pies need to be stored in the refrigerator, not on the kitchen counter.
