Ceramic Pie Weights Reusable 10mm Baking Beans Pie Crust Weights Natural Ceramic Stoneware with Wheat Straw Container

These work well. I love the Container they come in. Keeps the beans clean and a lot nicer storage than a plastic tub.Great addition for a bakers kitchen

If you bake pies, you know pie weights are a necessity sometimes. These pie weights are reusable and better than using beans as weights, especially if you bake pies regularly. These are well made, easy to clean, they seem sturdy; and they come in a little plastic "tin box" that is attractive and functional as a storage container which is easy to stack and identify in the cabinet - the plastic storage box is a great selling point in itself! And yes, it is perfectly giftable.

I used them to keep my sourdough bread from getting too dark on the bottom. Worked great!!!! I just put them (and 5-6 ice cubes) in the hot Dutch oven, then the silicone mat (for the DO with the handles) then the parchment paper. Much better than using rice and allowed me to try the ice cubes (which gave the loaf a more even crust. Happy Bread Making!!! Also, the container is awesome!

These are great! I need to buy more 😊

the ceramic pie beads were not too dusty, rinsed well, and 2 pounds was a perfect amount to fill my 9 tart shell and it baked perfectly. I love the container they come in, very handy for storage.

Worked great pie crust did not shrink when blind baking. Glad this got here so quick. I had to get another box last minute not realizing I need 2 to keep my pie crust from shrinking.

This is the perfect size and quantity of weights for a normal pie or tart pan. They are easy to clean and easy to store in an adorable little container. I love the old fashioned and compact container, as it fits in my cabinet without taking up too much space. I tried metal pie chains, but they moved too much and didn’t cover every inch of the crust. I’ve used dried beans, but they are too light and I found it wasteful to use the beans to bake a tart or pie. You cannot eat the beans or rice after baking them dry, so it just always felt wrong to waste them. I highly recommend if you blind bake a lot of pie shells and pastries.

What can I say about pie weights that hasn’t already been said? These work like they are supposed to. The container is heavy duty. A good purchase!
