Pre-Cook Your Root Vegetables


When making pasties, shepherd's pies and pot pies, always partially cook the root vegetables -- potatoes, carrots, turnips and rutabagas -- before you add them to the rest of the ingredients. They require more cooking time than the meat and pastry in most pies and your crust would burn if left in long enough for the root vegetables to cook from raw to done.
