What customers say
Bakers overwhelmingly value these ceramic pie weights for reliably producing perfectly blind baked crusts. Users appreciate that the weights distribute heat evenly, effectively stopping dough shrinkage and bubbling better than alternatives. The ceramic material offers excellent heat retention and reusability, making them a sound investment for frequent use. A primary drawback noted is cleaning; baked on dough or grease proves difficult to remove completely from the porous surface, affecting long term appearance. Additionally, the standard quantity often proves insufficient for deep dish pies, requiring multiple purchases for full coverage. Despite these maintenance and sizing considerations, the weights are considered an essential, highly functional tool delivering consistent results.
