wtisan Ceramic Pie Weights Reusable 10mm Baking Beans Pie Crust Weights Natural Ceramic Stoneware with a Drainage Storage Box with holes and Canvas Storage Bag(1.2LB)

As a mom who’s always cooked and baked this is my new kitchen favorite. Pies and tarts are not just tasty but look deliciously beautiful.Wasting rice or beans is no longer my thing. Just be sures to let then cool down before washing them. I leave them to soak in soapy water just when they have cooled down, no need to scrub or over soak, I use parchment paper under my beeds and so far they kept clean and not greasy or sticky. Easy to store.

I love these are a two in one product with its own strainer within a holder with lid. Very practical and functional. When I blind bake a pie crust, I always put parchment paper in, then I add the pie weights on top of the parchment. You obviously wash, rinse, dry your pie weights, however they should still not sit directly on top of the raw dough. You want a barrier of parchment, then put pie weights on top of the parchment paper. Makes it a lot easier to clean up the beads (I slide them off carefully from the parchment to strainer) Make sure you dry them thoroughly before putting them back with lid on or condensation can build up. I made a quiche for my first use of pie weights, and it turned out great! Highly recommend. Super sturdy containers too.

The first time I used these I put them directly on pie crust. While I should have known better, a note in the box to remind that they are ceramic and it can absorb fats would have been nice. They now have brown/black spots. Can’t wash them because they will absorb the soap. I now place wax paper or foil between them and crust. Work fine just don’t look great.

I recently starting making homemade quiche, but when I went to precook the crust a bit to keep it from getting soggy during baking the crust shrank and pulled away from edge. I found a new recipe and in that recipe they mentioned the beans for weights! Never knew this. Happy to have these on hand. Comes in a little container you can easily rinse them after use. Made of ceramic so I a, sure they will last a very long time. The only suggestion would be to have a few more to cover a larger dish.

The weights are a nice size. You will need to wash the ceramic dust off, but it just so happens to come with an awesome wash basket!! 😁👍The bag is cute, but I went to rinse the ceramic dust off and a seam broke the instant I turned it inside-out. Not really a big deal to me. It's not needed, and is a simple fix.9.75/10

Love the strainer and container for these pie weights. I soaked mine for 30 minutes, rinsed well and let them air dry before I used them. Weights worked perfectly. The addition of a strainer for these is a nice idea as is the cloth bag to put the weights into. . Will be ordering more for gifts.

I dont know how we ever got along back when without these.. They work good on a single pie crust. A+

I needed pie weights in order to blind-bake pie crusts. These ceramic pie weights are terrific. I like the container they come in because it makes a handy way to store them. Useful product.
