International Ceramic Pie Weights, 1 lb. with Mesh Storage Bag

These are great for use in sous vide cooking (Haven't tried them for pie). I fill a snack size Ziploc bag with as many as I need to weigh down the vacuum bag so it doesn't float during a cook. Just place the sealed snack bag in the bottom of your vacuum bag before adding the meat and proceed as usual. Have used them 3 times and they work like a charm. They come with a mesh bag which is nice for when you want to wash them, you can just hang and air dry.

These hold the pie crust in place and keep it from puffing up, then when they cool they go back in the bag. For the most part they don't even require washing, as they sit on parchment and don't touch the dough. I should have bought these years ago!!

Good pie weight. Very... generic. These are.. pie weights. 1.25 lbs ish. Just a bit over a pound of it.Ceramic, easy to use, easy to wash, reusable,... After a while the weights absorb some of the oil from baking. It's normal. Color change (to yellow/brown/dark) is also normal.Not for dishwashing, at least I don't. Pour them all out into a mixing bowl, wash with detergent, pour out into a colander and rinse clean. Pour out onto towel / paper towel to dry. Collect and ready to reuse.Worth about $10, but more fair if these are $5 or $6. Still, it's worth the 4-stars.

Buy at least two for a full-sized pie.These work well, but one pack isn't enough.Plus, to the seller, these came in a plastic container that was broken and brittle. Someone stuffed that into a ziplock that was also old and tearing apart.

They're pie weights - not much to say there. They're properly weighted and don't discolor or feel rough.They come with a mesh bag so cleaning and drying them is super easy.

Until British Bake Off, I didn't know I needed these. Handy for getting crusts just right.

Pie weights are little ceramic pellets that are placed in a pastry shell before it is baked blank (i.e. empty). They help to keep bubbles from forming between the dough and the pan. Are they necessary? No. You can use dried beans or even small pebbles. Or chains of steel beads made for the purpose. The pellets sure are handy, though.The manufacturer gives you enough (more than a pound) to do the job. Other vendors supply such a small quantity that you need to buy a couple of packages.In contrast to another reviewer's remarks, the weights weights I ordered came in a substantial glass jar so they are easy to store when not in use.With holiday pie season at hand, these will prove useful to home bakers. Don't forget to dock the crust, though. That, in combination with the weights, will do the job nicely.

You would need at least 3 of these to blind bake a 9” pie shell

Well made. Durable. They work well.

São ótimas. Vem em uma quantidade razoável mais acessórios para facilitar o uso e armazenagem.

Excelente compra. Sí es importante comprar 2 bolsas para hornear una tarta grande.Y también es importante lavarlas antes de la 1a vez que se usan.Traen una bolsita de red para guardarlas 🙂

excellent

Muy buenas, pensé que eran más, necesitaras 2 bolsas para hacer una tarta de 28cm de diamentro o 1 y media para 23cm.. en mi escuela usamos de este tipo y funcionan de maravilla
