Pecan Pie…I don’t usually comment

Etoile308 · ‎01-04-2014

Full confession, I don't usually make any negative comments about the food QVC sells, or the price. I buy numerous items for my household and to send as gifts.

But I had to admit I was taken aback when I saw the Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie #M137545. It wasn't so much the price of $54, but the look of the quality. I know the prices of pies from Goldbelly.

Now of course I haven't tasted it, but I know what I look for in a pecan pie. Which by the way what I find to be one of the easiest pies to make, especially using Pillsbury pie crust. I also acknowledge not everyone cooks or bakes so I do understand and appreciate QVC featuring food products.

What I don't want in a pie are cheaper chopped nuts. Fine if making tassies, but not in a pie. And I don't want what appears to be more than what I consider usual amount of filling to nuts ratio. Way too much of the cheaper ingredients filling to the pecan topping.

I don't know how many have purchased from Savannah's Candy Kitchen when they've been featured, but I've enjoyed everything I had from this company. Their pie is $29 and they have in the past had deals on buying two.

I applaud QVC for bringing in new vendors, but from the clothes to the food I'm just not impressed with Ree's products.

$54 for a pie is absurd. I know most of Q's food is overpriced, but this pie takes the cake.

The price includes shipping in a styrofoam container and dry ice in addition to mailing fees. Factor that in.

@Etoile308. I agree pecan is the easiest of pies to make. Just dump everything together and bake. I prefer broken nuts because pecan halves are so hard to cut. Considering the price of nuts and the shipping charges, a price in the $50 range doesn't seem excessive for a big, full pie.

I make mine with 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans.

No more "free shipping & handling" for QVC food items?

@Q-Checker - but it says on the screen that shipping is "free," when it used to say "S&H included." Most of us know better.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

@Etoile308 I feel the same way. I saw $54.00 for a pecan pie?? I thought to myself.....well that better be outstanding. I bake all my own deserts from scratch and it doesn't cost anywhere near this to make a fabulous pie.
