Product info
An essential ingredient when blind baking, these ceramic beans (also known as pastry weights) conduct heat evenly so that, when placed in the base of a pastry case, they prevent the pastry shrinking in from the sides. They also ensure air bubbles do not appear in the base.

- Supplied in a handy storage container
- Hand wash only

Customer Reviews & Ratings
This product works great....that is why I have just bought 2 more
Great for blind baking. To clean just put the beans in a small laundry bag and put them in the dishwasher. Great product for both 'big' bakers and 'not so big' bakers !
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Baking made easy!
These beans are brilliant! Makes blind baking super easy, it seems silly to buy them because you could use dried beans or rice, but the reality is these are so much easier and because of the weight and the heat that they retain they weigh down the pastry nicely preventing it from rising, ensuring its delicious crisp!
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Quality at a good price
The beads are heavy and solid and don't break when dropped. There are enough in the container to anchor two 26 cm pie crusts at a time. Instructions say to wash them after each use, but if you place them on top of baking paper in the pie crust there doesn't seem to be any need for this. Need to be hand-washed prior to first use as they are dusty when new.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

The baking beans works like a dream!
The beans are enough for two medium size tart dishes. They distribute the heat evenly over the base and it bakes perfectly!

No more using sugar beans.
The beans are a must have in the kitchen. If you bake large tarts you may need two containers though. I had the perfect results with blind baking with the baking beans.
