Reliable support for perfectly even pie crusts
This Blind Baking Silicone Pie Weight Chain is designed to keep your pastry bases flat, even and free from air bubbles during blind baking. Made from durable, food-grade silicone, it withstands standard home oven temperatures and is safe for everyday baking. Flexible and lightweight, it conforms easily to different pie and tart tin shapes, from shallow quiches to deeper dessert pies.
Using the chain is straightforward: line your pastry with baking paper, arrange the silicone weight chain over the base and up the sides, then bake as usual. The chain helps prevent the crust from puffing up or shrinking, giving you a stable, uniform base ready for fillings. Once baking is complete, simply lift out the chain, allow it to cool briefly, then wash it by hand with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. The included storage bag keeps the chain neatly contained and easy to find for your next baking session.
