Mrs. Anderson's Ceramic Pie Weights hold down the bottom of empty pie shells to keep pie dough from shrinking, bubbling, and buckling during the blind baking process. Use them for frozen pie crust or homemade pie crust from scratch. These useful baking accessories are individual, easy to place and arrange beads to work with any pie size. Simply line raw pie crust with parchment paper, arrange beads on top, and bake. Heat transfers evenly so crusts bake to a perfect golden brown. Blind bake pie crust, cool, and fill for making classic pies like coconut cream pie, banana cream and chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue, strawberry rhubarb pie, banoffee pie, and more.
