Mrs. Anderson's Baking Pie Weights | Natural Ceramic Stoneware Beads for Blind Baking | Heat-Safe, Food-Safe, Easy to Use | Prevents Shrinking, Puffing, Bubbling | Individual Weighted Balls

Nice weight to these little balls. Works terrific in keeping the crust from bubbling up on the bottom. Comes in a case you can reuse that snaps shut. Good quality.

I ordered these after they got a first place review on America's test kitchen. They were matched up against a variety of different weights and designs and these were what they recommended out of the entire line up. I like this show for its review and great recipes and these weights don't dissapoint. They work great. It took a while to receive them as the seller may have been out of stock. But I patiently waited and they arrived and at good discount over the same weights sold by some others at a higher price. I may order two more sets for larger pies. ATK recommends four cups of weights for a large pie tin! Which is about four boxes or so of these I believe. I started with two and that seems to work well for my quiches that require blind baking. These pans are shallower so only two boxes is sufficient.

These are a must-have for par-baking pie crusts. I initially bought one container but now use two for more coverage and weight which helps minimize shrinkage. Very easy to use again and again!

Good for purpose but they always leave chalk on my cloth drying mat. It makes me worry about what they are leaving in my pie crust.

These are great and have good weight for your pie crust bottom but you MUST WASH THEM a couple of times when you get them (including the case) as the dust from manufacturing will get all over your crusts despite how careful you are with placing them on a liner. Other than that, good product.

Works great! Keeps the pie crust in place.

An excellent method to pre-bake your pie crust for custards/pizza dough

Bought the 1.5 pound version of the pie weights because it had what appeared to be a handy storage container. However, the thin brittle plastic shattered during shipping. (I bought two, both boxes were badly broken and unusable, pie weights scattered everywhere in the Amazon box!) So buy the pie weights, but you'll need your own storage solution.
