150g Ceramic Pie Crust Weights with Storage Bag

Achieve consistently even, crisp pie crusts every time

These 150g Ceramic Pie Crust Weights are designed to help you blind-bake pie shells with reliable, professional results. Made from food-safe, high-temperature-resistant ceramic, each bead distributes heat evenly while keeping your pastry flat and stable in the oven. The set includes approximately 150g (5.3 oz) of weights and a compact drawstring cloth bag for organized storage between uses.

Ideal for blind baking tart shells, quiches, and pies, these weights prevent bubbling, shrinking, and warping by gently holding the dough in place as it bakes. Simply line your unbaked crust with parchment paper, add the ceramic beads in an even layer, and bake as directed. After use, allow the weights to cool completely, then handwash and dry thoroughly before storing them in the included 16 x 12 cm bag. Durable and reusable, they are suitable for oven temperatures up to 240°C.
