Once it’s out of the oven, absolutely wait 10-15 minutes before cutting. I know, I know—it smells like heaven and you’re hungry. But if you cut too soon, you’ll get a sloppy, runny mess that looks like a crime scene. Let it rest so the layers set—like letting a friend catch their breath after a long run.
That short pause makes the difference between a perfect, square slice and a sad, goopy pile. Respect the rest.
