Description of Enhance Your Baking with Mrs. Anderson's Pie Weights from Harold Import

Mrs. Anderson’s Ceramic Pie Weights bake empty pie shells, known as blind baking, without them shrinking, bubbling or buckling. Made from natural, food-safe ceramic stoneware; heat resistant to 480-degrees Fahrenheit; includes convenient storage container. Individual beads are easy to place and arrange as needed; effectively weighs down pie dough to keep bubbles from forming and transfers heat evenly. Blind bake pie crust for banana cream and chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue, strawberry rhubarb pie, banoffee pie, and more. Easy to use; great for any size frozen and homemade pie crust; wipe clean with a dry cloth or hand wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly before storing.

Great but buy more than one box!

I recently baked an apple pie in a deep pan and needed pie weights so I could blind bake the bottom layer. (Blind baking prevents the bottom crust from getting soggy.) The recipe states that the pie weights should cover the bottom of the crust (bottom diameter is 7 inches) and rise slightly up the sides of the pie pan so the bottom crust is even. pressed against the mold during blind baking. A box of these didn't have enough cake weights to completely cover the bottom, and therefore not enough…

. 2 packs of ceramic weights for good results. After placing the unbaked dough in the mold.

For good results I need the contents of 2 packs of ceramic weights. After the unbaked dough is placed in the pie pan, I prick the dough with a fork, place a piece of foil on top, and then add weights so they don't stick to the dough and need to be washed. I bake this in a preheated oven at 450 degrees F for 6 minutes. Then I carefully remove the foil and weight together and gently place them in a metal bowl to cool. I continue to bake the cake base for about 8-9 minutes until it is "golden…

Two boxes + own storage space = nice!

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

Pros
  • Pie Pans
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

You may be able to use it in a cake pan

This chain is too small and light to use for blind baking. Even two of them together are totally insufficient. To cover the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate, try to do three. If you don't want the sides to stretch out when blind baking, forget about those chains. I don't know how many you need to fill a regular 9" or 10" cake pan. Maybe eight is enough. If you doubt me, just take a look at the first picture in this review. It shows two such chains in one package, both in a 9-inch pie pan. You see…

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
