There are 3 things to look for to confirm your pumpkin pie is done to perfection. 1. First, gently shake the pie pan when you are checking it in the oven. The pie is done when it no longer jiggles in the middle. Make sure and use your oven mitts. 2, The next test is to take a butter knife and gently insert it in the middle of the pie. When the pie is done the knife will emerge clean. 3. Finally, pumpkin pie is done when it is a dark golden brown on top and the edges of the crust are browned.
