Tala Ceramic Baking Beans - Reusable Heat Resistant Blind Weights

These ceramic baking beans do exactly what they're supposed to and make blind baking much easier.They distribute the weight evenly across the pastry, helping to prevent the base from rising or shrinking during baking, which results in a much better finish.The quantity supplied is more than enough for most pie and tart dishes, and being reusable makes them far better value than using alternatives.They're easy to store, simple to clean after use, and have held up well after repeated baking sessions.Overall, a great kitchen accessory that works exactly as intended and is well worth having if you bake regularly.

I loved using these Tala ceramic baking beans. The reusable ceramic beans came in a 12cm x 8cm round plastic container, and they were so easy to use, even for an inexperienced pastry maker like me. The beans are heat resistant, and while I previously had used dried marrowfat peas as weights, these are so easy to use. I rolled out the pastry, fitted it to the ceramic dish, and placed the ceramic beans on top of a layer of greaseproof paper. During cooking the beans helped to distribute the heat evenly, and there was no shrinkage to the pie crust. The beans were very hot when cooking was finished, but leaving them on a clean teatowel or foil to cool only took a few minutes before they could be replaced in their holder. These cost £4.80, and can be used over and over again, so they are great value for money. For me, they are a game changer - I'll certainly be getting great use out of these, and I'll happily recommend to others. Great buy!
