Zelly Bell I’d say you have a way more modern oven than I do, thank goodness, and you should “tailor” this recipe to what what works for you and your oven, as I imagine most ovens are newer than mine, which I’m just used to mine now, and can even bake good cookies from scratch with it now. This recipe is simply a good easy pie crust easy enough for a beginner in even a not user-friendly oven. Please Do NOT be intimidated at making your own pie crust, it’s not that much work and way worth it. It’s more enjoyable when they compliment you to say, “I made it from scratch”. Bottom line it’s worth trying. If I can make a good pie crust you can too.
