People who thinks the good ol cheap oven toaster is just for toasting bread and sometimes reheating food are not creative enough to think that there is NO BOX to think outside of! (wow thats deep!)
Well my point is your rotting toaster at home can do wonderful stuff like this Calamansi Meringue Pie!
The only thing that you should be wary of is you should keep an eye on your pie inside the toaster because we all know that the heat inside the toaster is not that dependable and constant. Keep an eye on it especially on the Meringue stage... it browns fast! But I tell you the browning of the meringue using a toaster is nicer compared using an oven or a torch! I dont know but the browning is faster and more even and way just right...
The recipe for this Calamansi Pie is the same as the ones of Lemon Meringue Pie. I just substituted it because we live in this country where Calamansi is abundant and very cheap. The taste is way better because the acidity of calamansi is not as strong as the ones of Lemon but if you want a more citrusy smelling pie stick with lemons!
Im still thinking of using both Calamansi and Lemon on my next pie to achieve a clean sweet-sour flavor with tangy and citrusy smell!
Good food is not just about the taste ... its about the aroma too!
