Product Description

Product Description

Mrs. Anderson’s Ceramic Pie Weights prevent empty pie shells from shrinking, bubbling and buckling during the baking process. Baking empty pie shells, or blind baking, couldn’t be easier! Whether using frozen pie crust or perfecting homemade pie crust from scratch, they weigh down the bottom of the pie dough to help reduce shrinking and keep air bubbles from forming. It’s a useful addition to baking accessories, the individual beads are easy to place and arrange as needed for any pie size. Heat transfers evenly so crusts bake to a perfect golden brown. Blind bake pie crust, cool, and fill for classics like coconut cream pie, banana cream and chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue, strawberry rhubarb pie, banoffee pie, and more. Made from natural, food-safe ceramic stoneware to be strong, durable and reusable. Heat resistant to 480-degrees Fahrenheit. Includes convenient storage container. Wipe clean with a dry cloth or hand wash in warm, soapy water. Allow them to air dry thoroughly before storing. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co.

Amazon.com

This packet of reusable pie weights contains plenty of pea-size ceramic beads to cover the bottom of an unfilled piecrust, preventing the shrinking that can occur while baking. To use, press the crust into the pan, prick with a fork, line with aluminum foil or wax paper, and fill with pie weights. Bake according to crust recipe, cool, and then remove the liner and pour the weights into a colander to continue cooling. Wash the weights, and then store them in their original plastic container or in a jar. --Jennifer Harris

Works great. I bought the single in hopes it would fill enough of my Dutch oven and I think it was enough for under the dough. No more hard, burnt crust. I bake 2 loaves back to back. The first lot had no holes because it started from a cool state .. the second loaf had heated balls and created these dots but it didn’t effect the taste.I baked with parchment paper between the balls and the dough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than using dried beans but a bit skimpy and expensive for what they are
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016
Size: Single, CeramicVerified Purchase
I had been using dried bean for years when blind baking (baking an empty pie shell) and decided that it was finally time to treat myself to a set of pie weights. The ceramic beads work much better than dried beans as pie weights because the ceramic holds the heat and helps the crust brown. I bought two sets because other reviewers complained that the number of weights was skimpy for a typical 9" pie crust, and I'm glad I did because one set would have been sparse.

A few tips:
--------------
- New ceramic pie weights will be covered in ceramic dust from rattling around during shipping. Be sure to rinse them in a collander before first use.
- Always use a liner (parchment paper, alumninum oil, or waxed paper) over the crust. Otherwise, the weights will become embedded in the crust and the crust will be toast. (Apologies for the bad pun.)
- If you crumble the liner and then smooth it out over the unbaked crust before you fill it with the beads, the beads won't be able to roll around as easily.
- The plastic storage box is on the flimsy side, and it's a bit of a hassle to put the weights back in it after use. If your box breaks or if you just want a simpler storage solution, a colored canning jar works great. I'm using a pretty turqoise antique Ball jar for mine.

P.S. After buying and trying these, it occurred to me that there are lots of other items that could be used just as successfully as these ceramic beads for pie weights, such as the tumbled stones or the glass beads for flower arranging that you can get at your local dollar store. You can get the equivalent of two of these packages for a dollar, so the stones and glass beads are far more economical, and you could use them in your flower vases when you're not baking pies. (Wash them well afterward if you do this.) Plus, you can get glass beads that are flat, so they'd be easier to handle. Just be sure that the beads are actually glass and are not the acrylic or gel beads. Glass has a very high melting point and doesn't even begin to soften until 1020° F., so the glass beads will be perfectly safe in an oven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps to make perfect piecrust
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023
Size: Single, CeramicVerified Purchase
I baked a piecrust and was disappointed that the edges slumped and it looked terrible. I bought these pie weights as they were recommended by America's Test Kitchen as the best pie weights. ATK said that 4 packages was ideal. I thought that was a bit much so I bought 2 packs. They were easy to pour onto parchment paper which was over the unbaked crust. The package says to remove 5 minutes before the pie shell is finished baking so I lifted out the parchment and dumped them into a pot to cool. My pie crust turned out perfectly and when the weights were cool, I put them back into their boxes - no cleaning needed!

The product works! You just need twice the amount for ONE pie. I used the first box in one pie and it only covered the bottom of the crust. You really need twice the amount for a single pie. Also, use prematurely pie savers.

This works, but I’ve found I prefer using actual beans, or the beaded chain. These put divots down in my pie crusts. (I know, no one is going to see the divots”, but “I know” they’re there.

Great quality pie weights. However, quite expensive and delivery took ages. You will also need two boxes for a 12" inch pan. After I ordered this, I found cheaper and equally good quality weights at Lakeland.
