After reading some reviews, I bought 2 packages just to be sure I had enough. I'm glad I did. I was making a 10-inch (deep dish) pie shell . The 2 packages together were just right. One package would probably be sufficient for an 8- inch. They were very easy to handle when placed over parchment paper & cooled off quickly.

I bought these for my mother. She usually uses dried beans when she makes her pie crust to keep the crust flat, but the last time she used beans some spilled down into the bottom of the oven and burned with black smoke, smelling up the house and causing me a lot of trouble to clean out of the oven for her. She is 89 years old and can't get down low to clean up messes like this so it is up to me. I do not make pies, but I knew I didn't want to go through this again so I looked for something to replace her dried bean method that wouldn't burn if she spilled them.
These ceramic pie weights seemed to be perfect. So, I bought her some and she has been using these instead. She says they work good. She hasn't spilled any in the oven yet, but if she does, I will not have a big mess to clean up afterwards.

pie weights are something I've always wondered about using, since I have previously used the "fork prick" method of baking single crust pies. The weights work wonderfully since there are no holes for the filling to run through.

These pie weights came with lot of white powder, ceramic dust I assumed. I soaked and washed them several times and finally managed to get rid of all of the powder that the beads... Read more

Better tha beans!
I am very happy with the weight of these re-usable ceramic pie weights. I was previously using beans but this works much better.

Holds down pie crust
I use these to par-bake pie crusts for smaller sizes. When baking 4" tarts it is a pain to try and use one chain in such a small pan, or to try and cover multiple pies with the... Read more

Just what i needed
Great product and inexpensive, my pies are in much better shape with these weights. Also useful for other kitchen needs - a bed for stuffed oysters in the oven.

It wasn't exactly what I thought I was ordering. The info did not state that you had to put something between the weights and the crust and that you had to pull it out and remove... Read more

Pie Weights
Good product - I use them for pie shells and for pizza crusts. I wish I had bought two sets originally as I still get some bubbles on the larger crusts.
