Pie Weights 1.32lb Baking Beans
Experience convenience in your baking journey with our Pie Weights set! This pack includes approximately 1.32 lbs of baking beans, specifically designed for pie-baking. Recognized as one of the most sought-after baked items, a pie’s crust is a critical aspect that determines whether the pie stays intact or crumbles. Along with the filling, the crust occasionally might not fully cook due to the filling’s presence. Hence, we recommend baking the crust without filling for initial few minutes.
Functioning as Weights
The crust tends to crack and inflate without weight exerted on it, a reaction to the heat during baking. Without weights, this process will continually propagate. However, using any weights could be unsafe for baking. This is where our pie weights come into play. Every pack contains around 1.32 lbs of baking beans, sufficient to cover two pie pans. As you bake the crust, the beans hold down the crust, enabling it to evenly crisp.
Secure for Food and Non-Poisonous
A standout feature of the beans is that each weighs around 0.046 ounces. You can personalize the bean distribution per crust depending on the pie size and desired weight. Rest assured that these beans will not compromise your food safety, as they are food-safe and non-toxic. They are reusable and require just a thorough wash before each usage. Additionally, they are oven-safe and come with a container for secure storage, ensuring you won’t misplace them.
