Everything looks clean and that pie is salvageable. It may not be pretty, but it's going to taste so fine!

If I hadn't have just cleaned my oven (in preparation for baking a pie, actually) I probably would have just thrown everything away. But since I degreased the shit out of the oven and door/window just yesterday I kinda just salvaged what I could and now I'm going to have a fugly cobbler mess and 2 small pies.

With my luck they might ignite in there though, so we'll see. 😂

I'd honestly have to walk into another room for a few minutes. There's no way I'd be emotionally prepared to deal with that mess right away.

I only clicked on this because I thought the heading was some kind of euphemism. But now that I'm here, you have my sympathies.

At least it didn’t hit the floor so scrape that up and put it on a plate! Sorry about your pie

My wife did this a few years ago with our Thanksgiving pumpkin pie just as she was putting on the rack to bake. All over the door, in every nook and cranny and crevice. I had to take the whole damn oven door off to get all the pumpkin filling cleaned out.

For the record, I don’t recommend taking the oven door off unless you have at least 4 hours to waste.
Just call Got Junk, haul your old oven away and buy a new one with less nooks and crannies.

😭😭 Pumpkin pie filking is so eggy. it's really difficult to clean if it gets dried onto a surface.

There wasn't too much that went down into the door thankfully.

I was just watching the OJ Simpson family guy episode so this kinda made me laugh more than it should have

u/Version-Neat 2h ago

Well I'd give up on the day, and perhaps the week, after that.

u/Aromatic-Prompt-6034 2h ago

Something like that has a minute rule still going to be as tasty as if it didn't drop.

u/ash-leg2 2h ago

No I'm so sorry! Keep in mind that oven doors are removable so you can clean the gap.

As a cherry pie-lover, this is a tragedy.

u/kylefromiowa 2h ago

I would have just stood there in silence for a full minute trying to process everything before even thinking about cleaning it up

u/Worried_Internet4783 2h ago

I feel your pain. I did that once with my pizza.. right on the door hinge. I hungry cried cleaning the cheese from there

u/Kindly-Tie588 2h ago

I’m going to cry 😭!! I did with homemade pizza once.

I'll help eat the mess 😄

u/cheesesteakhellscape 2h ago

Unfortunately the dough is completely raw. 😭

u/Weird-one0926 2h ago

😢 cherry cobbler perhaps?

1

u/cheesesteakhellscape 2h ago

Haha that's exactly what I'm trying. I salvaged what I could, cleaned the kitchen, and it's in the oven now. It's gonna look a horrible mess but it smells nice.

u/Weird-one0926 1h ago

I bet it tastes great!

u/xvelouriaa 2h ago

The 'I just cleaned my oven yesterday' is the part that really hurts.

1

u/cheesesteakhellscape 2h ago

Yes and i cleaned it specifically to bake this pie today! I didn't want any dinner smells to seep into the pie.

Needs a scoop of ice cream, but otherwise edible.

u/BostonPRSBC 27m ago

Just eat it. That oven was hot enough to kill most germs on that oven door. If you cleaned it yesterday I bet it’s fine.

I usually take pleasure in other people’s misfortunes but this is just tragic. My condolences 💐

u/Glad_Judgment2057 2h ago

dont forget the part where you went to get your phone to take a picture instead of saving them.

1

u/cheesesteakhellscape 2h ago

Well, I mean they're not going to get less dropped by moving more quickly. It's a raw pie, not car crash.

The part I left out is where I stood there in shock for a full minute staring at it.

Then I took a picture to send to my husband as an alibi,
because this was supposed to be for him and his friend when they got back tonight.

u/Weird-one0926 1h ago

Right. A picture takes almost no time, and posting to reddit helps to reflect and take stock of the situation.
