Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are ceramic pie weights used for in blind baking?

A: Ceramic pie weights are placed inside an unbaked pie crust (over a parchment liner) before baking to keep the crust from puffing up, shrinking, or losing its shape. This technique — known as blind baking — is essential for recipes where the filling is added after the crust is pre-baked, such as custard pies, quiches, and fruit tarts.

Q: How many ceramic beads come in this pie weight set?

A: This set includes 1.5 lbs of ceramic bead pie weights — enough to fully cover the base and sides of standard 8", 9", and 10" pie dishes. It also comes with 50 disposable parchment liners to make setup quick and easy.

Q: Are these ceramic pie weights reusable?

A: Yes! Unlike dried beans or rice used as improvised weights, these food-safe ceramic beads are fully reusable. After use, allow them to cool, then rinse and dry before storing for your next baking project. They are a durable, eco-friendly alternative to single-use solutions.

Q: What size pie dishes are compatible with these weights and parchment liners?

A: The included parchment liners are designed to fit 8-inch, 9-inch, and 10-inch pie and tart pans — the most common standard sizes used in home baking.
