I like the Pillsbury crusts, and use them all the time. The only thing I have trouble with is the aluminum foil thing. Could you post a picture of this, and also recommned a good first aid remedy for the accidental burns. Thx.

Love this pie crust - but no matter what type of pie I make wiht it ( pumpkin, apple, cherry) I find the crust to be a bit skimpy. Wish it made a tad more. When making pumpkin pie using a single crust for the bottom, I have to use the second crust to build up the sides else everything spills out. Read the instructions, watched the video and still not enough crust.

Why does the picture show "+ milk, fruit, sugar", instead of "+ cans of pre-made glop" ??

So easy and So tasty. I suggest keep one of everything on hand, for the "just drop by"

Haven't made the pie yet, but I would like to comment on the crust...it is awesome!!!!! I make lots of pies from scratch, but never had the knack for making crust. People are always asking for my crust recipe and I proudly tell people it's Pillsbury's Ready Made Pie Crusts!!!! Best crust ever...everytime.
