Notes: I defrost the shells and then remove from the tinfoil pans and put in 9" pyrex pie pans pressing on the bottom of shells to thin out and push to the edges of the larger pans. I have nice holders for the pyrex ones and the tinfoil don't fit. You can leave in tinfoil pans if you prefer.
If freezing, undercook.
