How can you tell when lemon bars are done?
The way to check if the bars are finished baking is with the “ wiggle test.” When you jiggle the pan, the curd should wiggle like firm jello—anything looser and your lemon bars will fall apart once you cut them; if they don’t wiggle at all, then the bars might be overcooked and grainy.

How do you keep lemon bars from sticking to the pan?
First and foremost – line the pan with parchment paper! You can also use foil.

I also found that making sure the crust was properly baked made it less likely to stick.
