Can it sit out?
Chiffon pie is perishable — the FSIS 2-hour rule applies.
Perishable food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be thrown out — 1 hour if it’s 90°F or hotter (a picnic, a hot car, a summer kitchen).
How to tell if chiffon pie has gone bad
- A watery layer seeping out between filling and crust
- The filling collapsed from airy down to dense
- A sour, eggy smell as you lean over it
- A crust gone gray and soggy underneath
When in doubt, throw it out.
The lift in it is beaten egg white, and it starts falling from the first cut — this is a pie to serve in one sitting.
