ProudGrandma Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 We made a pumpkin pie this afternoon (took it out of the oven around 4) and I didn't put it in the fridge until I went to bed (11:00) Would you still serve it for Thanksgiving? My Google search says after 2 hours it could start to grow bacteria. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Is this only after you cook it? We routinely leave pumpkin pie on the kitchen counter until it is gone. So days at a time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acorn Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 We keep our pumpkin pie room temperature for almost a day before serving. Then refrigerate any uneaten pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Another saying it is no problem at all. We often leave the pie out overnight till we cut into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootsie Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Since pumpkin pie is a custard pie, a homemade pumpkin pie should be stored in the refrigerator (once it cools). The store-bought pumpkin pies often have stabilizers in them that make them shelf-stable and do not have to be refrigerated. If it hasn't been cut, and sat out on the counter all day after being taken out of the oven, I would still eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
