Keep pie, quiche and tart crusts from bubbling or shrinking while they bake. These natural, food-safe unglazed ceramic weights spread across the dough to help hold the shell in place during blind baking.

Set parchment paper over your pie dough, then arrange the weights evenly on top before baking. Use them with homemade or frozen crusts when preparing a shell for a filling that will be added later.

• Even heat conduction: Unglazed ceramic stoneware helps conduct heat quickly and evenly through the crust.
• Reusable baking weights: Use the beads again for future pie, quiche or tart shells.
• Oven-safe to 446°F: Bake your crust with the weights in place up to this temperature.
• Simple preparation: Cover the dough with parchment before spreading the beads over it.
• Glass storage container: Keep the weights together in the included jar after washing and drying.
• Hand-wash care: Wash before first use, then hand wash and allow the weights to dry before storing.

When the shell is blind-baked, remove the weights and add your filling. Keep the jar near your baking supplies for the next homemade pie or a savory quiche.
