Mrs Anderson's Ceramic Pie Weights

By placing these weights directly onto the parchment paper lining your dough, you create enough downward pressure to stop the crust from puffing up or pulling away from the sides of the pan during the initial bake. This keeps your crust in its intended shape for a professional, clean finish.

No, these ceramic weights should not be put in the dishwasher. For the best care, hand wash them with warm water—avoid using soap, as the porous ceramic can absorb the scent—and let them air dry completely before storing.

Yes, these weights are heat safe up to 480°F, which covers the temperature range for almost any standard pie crust recipe.

Yes, you should always line your raw pie dough with parchment paper or aluminum foil before adding the weights. This prevents the beads from sticking to the dough and makes them much easier to remove once the crust is set.

This 1.5-pound set provides enough coverage to fill a standard 9-inch pie pan effectively. The beads are designed to be distributed evenly across the bottom of the crust to ensure uniform heat transfer.
