Can you eat a lemon meringue pie that has been in the refrigerator for four days?
Sugar is a preservative. The acid in the lemon is a preservative. Both of those should prevent the growth of bacteria.
It is not like potato salad. Potato salad contains mayonnaise. Nothing in the either the potatoes nor the mayonnaise has anything to prevent bacterial growth after the potatoes have been cooked and the mayonnaise removed from the refrigerator. People go to church picnics. The salad sits in the hot car while they are in church. It sits on the table while everything is prepared. Meanwhile botulism bacteria grows and puts out poison. People eat the delicious potato salad. Some get sick. Others die.

No. Meringe does not have to be refrigerated. If it is, it gets hard and chewy. I suggest you leave it out in a room teperature area for a few days. After 2 or so days, you can put it in the refrigerator so it doesn't go bad. I hope this helped!

How much lemon concentrate equals one half cup lemon juice?
It depends on the size of the lemons and how juicy they are or aren't. Some lemons have really thick rinds and the ones with thick rinds don't give much juice.

Should you refriigerate lemon meringue pie?
I assume you agree asking about pie that is made from lemon flavored made from scratch pudding containing eggs in the filling and in the Meringue. Unless pasteurized eggs are used the meringue may contain bacteria harmful to humans. To have a beautiful mounded meringue with only the peaks turning light brown, the interior of the meringue is not cooked to the necessary 165 degrees F.
Although the lemon in the filling increases the acidity compared to other cream pies, Unless the pie is consumed within 4 hours of preparation, it should be refrigerated. If you left the egg whites out of the refrigerator to warm because they will then whip to a greater volume, All that time out of the refrigerator counts as part of the 4 hours.
The USDA says it is necessary to refrigerate cream pies such as your Lemon. When cooking only for your own family or a few guests, the more lenient standard of 4 hours at room temperature is used.
Refrigeration can greatly decrease the quality of your pie. The filling may become too stiff and rubbery. The Meringue will suffer from the humid environment causing syrupy droplets.
I love lemon meringue pie. I buy pasteurized eggs (available in the shell), prepare the crust ahead of time, and measure all the ingredients. Then I can successfully prepare the pie very close to serving time.
What is a good substitute for cornstarch in a lemon meringue pie?
Ordinary white wheat flour would work, but a little more would be required by volume and this will result in a change in texture, possibly giving a floury feel.
A similar quantity of ground arrowroot is another alternative.
Can you freeze Lemon Meringue Pie and Pineapple Cream Pie?
No. Meringue, which is made of whipped egg whites and sugar, does not freeze well. You could always freeze your pie prior to putting the meringue on it, and then make your meringue after you thaw the pie.
