Customers say

Customers find these pie weights work well for blind-baking and appreciate their durability, with one customer noting they haven't broken during use. They find them easy to use, particularly noting they're easier than using beans. The size and value for money receive mixed feedback - while some say they're good for a 9" pie shell, others find them smaller than expected, and while some consider them great value, others say they're not worth the money. The ease of cleaning is also mixed, with some finding them easy to clean while others report they generate irritating dust.

Sourdough bread baking
Works great. I bought the single in hopes it would fill enough of my Dutch oven and I think it was enough for under the dough. No more hard, burnt crust. I bake 2 loaves back to back. The first lot had no holes because it started from a cool state .. the second loaf had heated balls and created these dots but it didn’t effect the taste. I baked with parchment paper between the balls and the dough.

    I ordered these after they got a first place review on America's test kitchen. They were matched up against a variety of different weights and designs and these were what they recommended out of the entire line up. I like this show for its review and great recipes and these weights don't dissapoint. They work great. It took a while to receive them as the seller may have been out of stock. But I patiently waited and they arrived and at good discount over the same weights sold by some others at a higher price. I may order two more sets for larger pies. ATK recommends four cups of weights for a large pie tin! Which is about four boxes or so of these I believe. I started with two and that seems to work well for my quiches that require blind baking. These pans are shallower so only two boxes is sufficient.

    These are great and have good weight for your pie crust bottom but you MUST WASH THEM a couple of times when you get them (including the case) as the dust from manufacturing will get all over your crusts despite how careful you are with placing them on a liner. Other than that, good product.

    I wish that I had had these years ago!!

    For decades, I used a Ziploc bag of red beans. Of course, I took them out of the Ziploc to put them in the pie shell! For bsking-lol.

    The beans dug into the raw pastry and the pastry partially baked around the bottom layer of beans which was not ideal. It left a seriously pocket marked baked crust.

    Worst though, was the day that I wanted to cook some beans, and I forgot and used the beans that had been used for about 2 million years as pie weights.

    I couldn’t figure out why the beans remained very hard after I boiled them. So I boil them for 12 hours. And they were still hard. I continued to cook them stubbornly for about two days until I got the point that no matter what I did, they would never rehydrate!

    I threw them out, and then maybe a year later realised what I had done LOL. Oh yeah. Those had been my pie shell weight beans.

    The round pie weights do not embed in a baking pie shell. And the instructions tell how to keep that from happening. Yay!

    I've tried other things (coins, rice, etc.) but these are superior to other items and worth the investment! Easy to use (more handleable than coins), not messy (like spilled rice), and very consistent in weight distribution. Read the 'first time use' (rinsing and drying before first use) instructions, and you're 'good to go'! Great quality and price-point. I would order again, if needed! Very pleased.

    Bought the 1.5 pound version of the pie weights because it had what appeared to be a handy storage container. However, the thin brittle plastic shattered during shipping. (I bought two, both boxes were badly broken and unusable, pie weights scattered everywhere in the Amazon box!) So buy the pie weights, but you'll need your own storage solution.

    Great quality pie weights. However, quite expensive and delivery took ages. You will also need two boxes for a 12" inch pan. After I ordered this, I found cheaper and equally good quality weights at Lakeland.
