    I haven't tried this recipe out yet, but did anyone else besides myself catch the fact that Paula is using a convection oven? You can just see the fan rotating in the back as she is putting the pan(s containing the milk into the oven.

    Convection ovens cook faster than conventional ovens, plus if your thermostat is off (as most ovens are, that will also effect the caramelization time.

    This has to be the easiest pie I have ever made and is it delicious!!! I took the suggestion of putting the unopened cans in a pot of boiling water to process rather than use the oven. It was great.

    I read the reviews before trying this recipe and saw one review from someone from California suggesting to use Dulce De Leche in placed of the condensed milk. I did just that and it was the quickest, easiest pie I ever made and it was really good.

    I recently saw the show and one ingredient I think might be crucial is that Paula addes one packet of sugar substitute after adding the vanilla extract to the heavy cream topping. It allows the cream to hold its shape. Just thought this might help someone.

    I followed the recipe exactly and let the sweetened condensed milk cool for a long time while preparing other food. When I spread it into the graham cracker crust, it was a good, thick consistency. I let the pie chill in the refrigerator overnight and when I cut it, it was a disaster -- a terrible soupy mess -- couldn't even get a piece out of the pan without it running. I also felt that there was too much butter added to the crust. I watched Paula make this and it turned out great for her. I read where others thought it was the baking time for the sweetened condensed milk and guess I have to agree with them. Was glad that I had another dessert prepared for my guests.

    This is one of the best pies ever! It is so creamy and delicious! It is also the easiest pie to prepare. I made this last Thanksgiving and everyone requested that I bring it this year too. I recommend this recipe!

    I just made this pie. I didn't use the oven method. I took 2 (14oz. cans of unopened sweetened condensed milk in a large pot of boiling water, covered with a lid on medium heat for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly. I noticed that it will keep boiling only on medium heat if you keep the pot lid on. I put the water level just under the rim of the cans and occasionally added hot water to keep it at that level. When I decided I was through waiting (2/45, I poured out the water and took the cans with a potholder and opened them with my electric can opener. It bubbled out just a little, but not enough to make a mess. It was like pudding with a little gelatin jiggle. I smoothed the first can on the bottom of the pie crust (store bought. then layered three sliced bananas then smoothed over the second can. I put it in the refrigerator...and after only 15-30 minutes, its starts to become firm enough to slice a piece out.

    I don't know what everybody else is doing wrong. It seemed kinda simple to me and I'm no professional.
