Mrs. Anderson's Baking Ceramic Pie Crust Weights, 270 Count, Natural Stoneware, For Blind Baking Pie Crusts And Tart Shells With Even Baking Results

Excellent product, for some reason hard to find locally. I had used beans and was tired of that. Made two quiches as soon as these arrived weight is perfect, I didn’t have to clean using the parchment paper, they are much sturdier and far more stable than old beans. Easier to use, just rinse and dry, and put back in the container for the next time!

Clean, ceramic balls are weighty enough to hold down your pie crust while pre-baking. These hold heat well to allow for even baking, are repeatedly reusable, durable, and easy to store. Buy once and bake forever!

Blind baking is an integral part of turning out really good tart shells, or pie shells. Everybody loves that snicker that comes with.” avoid avoiding soggy bottoms.” I know there are alternatives to pie weights, but the advantage of ceramic is that they conduct heat. So having tried beans, I decided to take the plunge and try these. They’re not that expensive and they will last forever. And I’ve already had great results with blind baking using these.

It was a great stocking stuffer one of my boxes fell apart in shipment you can also use dried beans

This is a great price for a double set. I received these as a Mother's Day gift (yes, I asked for them), and I'm glad my husband got the 2-piece set. I made a quiche, and one set would not have been enough to fill the pie shell as instructed in the recipe.

Worked perfectly. I always bake two custard pies at a time and always had soggy bottom crust so I blind baked crust using these pie weights. So glad I purchased!

I ordered these after they got a first place review on America's test kitchen. They were matched up against a variety of different weights and designs and these were what they recommended out of the entire line up. I like this show for its review and great recipes and these weights don't dissapoint. They work great. It took a while to receive them as the seller may have been out of stock. But I patiently waited and they arrived and at good discount over the same weights sold by some others at a higher price. I may order two more sets for larger pies. ATK recommends four cups of weights for a large pie tin! Which is about four boxes or so of these I believe. I started with two and that seems to work well for my quiches that require blind baking. These pans are shallower so only two boxes is sufficient.

I used a pyrex dish to weigh down my pommes Anna. Adding the pie crust weights to the dish helped with holding the potatoes together while baking.

Although a good product, I find I need 2-3 pkgs for each pile shell.

Me han funcionado de maravilla para hornear tartas y que salgan parejitas (sin pancita)
