Product Description

The days of using beans and rice to blind-bake pie crusts are over! With the Kitchen Friends Sweetheart Pie Weight, the counters, drawers and floor will be free of mess. This silicone “bean” bag eliminates the need for beans, rice or loose pie weights (commonly been used to prevent pie-crusts from falling and bulging in the pre-cooking process). Simply place a piece of parchment paper over the uncooked crust, place the Sweetheart Pie Weight in the center of the crust, bake and presto!—a perfect crust every time! The shape of the heart reaches the sides better than a simple circle. The ceramic beans are contained, so you’ll never waist time again, sweeping away loose beans and rice. Since the Kitchen Friends Sweetheart Pie Weight can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher, clean-up is a breeze. Fits up to a 9-inch pan.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY disappointed, July 6, 2011

This review is from: Elizabeth Karmel's 5- by 5.5-inch Red Silicone Sweetheart Pie Weight (Kitchen)

I was so excited about my purchase but this product is very disappointing. My pie crust came out of the oven with a deep heart shaped depression in it. I was bummed that it ruined my pie crust and then the side seam ripped and the ceramic beads fell out while I was gently hand washing it. Don't waste your money...buy a pie chain instead.
