Detailed Review
Mrs. Anderson's Baking Ceramic Pie Crust Weights solve the common frustration of dough shrinking, bubbling, or buckling when blind baking empty shells. This set contains 270 individual ceramic stoneware beads totaling 16 ounces, providing the necessary weight to keep pastry flat and intact for cream pies, custard fillings, fruit pies, and tarts.
Because the set is made up of loose beads rather than a rigid form, you can easily arrange them across any shape or size of crust, whether you are using store-bought dough or homemade pastry. The natural ceramic material is food safe, reusable, and heat resistant up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for both everyday baking and high-heat holiday recipes.
Using these weights involves a few specific care steps. You need to line the crust with parchment paper before spreading the beads, and you must allow the ceramic to cool completely before taking it out of the shell. Cleaning requires wiping them clean or hand washing without soap, followed by air drying, before packing them back into the included storage container.
Verdict: If you regularly bake pies and tarts from scratch or store-bought dough and need reliably flat crusts, this 270-count stoneware set provides flexible coverage and heat resistance up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit in a convenient storage container.
