Review on Enhance Your Baking with Mrs. Anderson's Pie Weights from Harold Import by Peter Joseph

I'm surprised how many people complain about these pie weights being dusty or not washable, but just so everyone knows, they are dusty, they rinse and dry easily and it should never be like that be used "naked" in the cake base - they just drown in the batter. They don't press and (obviously) don't leave particles in your cake. After about ten minutes, remove and continue baking to dry and brown the bottom of the crust. My complaints are the same as everyone else's: one box isn't enough to hold the sides and "lock" when blind baking. , although it's a lot better than nothing (or wasting a ton of rice), so double the price and get two; and the storage box is a joke but i could see it before buying. I keep mine on the bench.
