Ceramic Pie Weights 1.32 lb with Storage Tub

Even, Flat Pie Crusts for Consistent Baking Results

Achieve smooth, level pie crusts every time with this 1.32 lb set of ceramic pie weights. Designed for blind baking, these baking beans help prevent puffing, shrinking, and cracking by gently weighing down the dough as it bakes. Made from food-safe, non-toxic ceramic, they withstand high oven temperatures and provide reliable heat distribution across the crust.

This set includes approximately 1.32 lb of evenly sized ceramic beads, suitable for filling one large or two smaller pie shells, depending on depth and diameter. Each bead is lightweight enough to distribute easily yet heavy enough in total to keep your pastry in place. The weights come stored in a durable plastic tub measuring approximately 4 x 4 x 4.5 inches, keeping them organized and ready for the next baking session.

Simple to Use, Easy to Clean

To blind bake, line your unbaked pie shell with parchment paper, then pour in the ceramic pie weights until the base and sides are evenly covered. Bake according to your recipe, then carefully lift out the parchment and weights once the crust is set. The beads are reusable: allow them to cool completely, then wash and dry thoroughly before storing them back in the tub. This makes them a practical, long-term tool for both home and professional kitchens.
