Know before you buy
By placing these weights inside your crust during blind baking, you apply enough pressure to keep the dough from puffing up or sliding down the sides of the pan. This ensures the crust maintains its intended shape and structure before you add your filling.
Yes, it is best practice to line your raw pie crust with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil before pouring in the ceramic weights. This prevents the weights from sticking to the dough and makes them much easier to remove once the crust is set.
While the ceramic material is durable, we recommend hand washing these weights to ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Simply wipe them down or rinse them in warm water and allow them to air dry completely before returning them to the storage container.
Yes, these ceramic weights are heat-resistant up to 480°F. They are perfectly safe for standard baking temperatures used for blind baking pie crusts.
This set contains enough ceramic beads to effectively weigh down a standard 9-inch or 10-inch pie crust. The individual beads allow you to distribute them evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dough for consistent results.
