Many of our pie recipes call for blind baking—baking the crust either partially or completely before adding the filling. But without a filling to hold the raw dough in place, the bottom can puff up or the sides can slump as it bakes, resulting in ugly, misshapen pies. To prevent this, the test kitchen uses pie weights.

I wonder if the foil in combined with the disc would work
I love these two personalities!!!!!
Would I need 8 packs of ceramic pie weights for a tall, springform quiche crust?
Great video. Thanks for keeping it family friendly and informative.
Is there gold in those aluminum beans?
You could buy stainless weights from the tackle shop for less. And were talking stainless that has had a hole intent fully placed in the bean!
Thank the planet for Mrs. Anderson!
It's an interesting way of keeping things in order, but I still love my late grandma's made from scratch crust pies. Whether they looked crazy or not. She never had an issue. But then again she never got fancy with the sides. They still tasted good. I miss my grandma and her pies. 🤗🤗
I'm Concerned about Alzheimer's disease from the aluminum . Why not just put a slightly smaller greased glass pie plate on top or use ceramic beads on coffee filter type paper ? Also if you are going to use foil or filter paper why not use inexpensive pea gravel ?
Thank u ladies always wondered how GRANDMA made perfect shells
Now I have choice. U ladies ROCK!!!!!🥧❤💜💙💚💛💛😘
what about pennies? 1000 pennies costs $10. And you can get your money back.
I don't do a lot of baking, but I have never heard of pie weights like these. When did they become a thing?
if all else fails, make pie crust chips and pie filling dip.
I wonder if you could use beach stones, I use stones in my art and have a lot on hand….??
Why can’t you just put another pie plate inside the crust and bake it like that sandwiched between two pie plates?
I was wondering why? Pie weight's! But to everyone I was thinking a bag of pinto bean's as well 1st thing came to my mind! I do not want my grandmother's homemade Lemon chess pie smelling like bean's! To Worm party! I am guessing there is no leftover smell! Thanks guy's!
You two are great together!
Catch me buying a bunch of nuts at home depot
Lucky for me years ago I collected pennies that were 95% copper, pre 1982. I do double up with the foil as they are heavy. And yes I learned this the hard way, one time my foil ripped and I had hot pennies going everywhere.
1:58 Mrs. Anderson sure seems kinky, inventing a multifunctional bead like that.
Back to plain beans.
Then.
Sorry, but this is bull, you use 4 packages of the ceramic beads. Meanwhile you used only one chain. Obviously if you need to use that many ceramic beads you need to at least attempt an equal proportion of chain. Also why didn't you just prick the bottom and sides of the pie shell and bake that for a control.
Hi is there any chance that you will be doing a best food dehydrator in video?
Know what else works really well without all this nonsense? Sugar. No docking needed. Credit to Stella Parks at Serious Eats.
Wow, $100 for pie weights??? Just use something around the kitchen, like ice cubes. Throw 'em in, then pick them out when done. Voilà.
Great test, but I would have liked to see what I use; a bag or two of beans. Total cost about $1.25 and can be reused at least several dozen times. Keep them in a large zipper bag, and you're good to go.
im sure you have not seen this.Just check and try

How come foil was used instead of parchment paper as a liner?
So THAT’S why my pie crusts look like that!
