KitchenCraft Reusable Baking Beans for Blind Baking Reap the giant benefits of these ‘magic’ beans For fans of blind baking, ceramic baking beans have almost magical properties. OK, they might not sprout in to a never-ending beanstalk that leads to a land in the clouds, but they will do an excellent job of making sure that your pie crusts behave themselves, creating perfectly formed pastry every time. When you’re blind baking, the empty pastry can easily bubble on the bottom or shrink away from the sides when there’s no delicious filling to keep it in line. But these brilliant baking beans will put an end to your pastry-based woes. All you need to do is pour them in to your pie casing, on top of a layer of baking paper, and let them do their thing. As they’re ceramic, they’re completely heat resistant, and they’re able to conduct heat from the oven, encouraging a more evenly cooked crust. It means that they’re reusable too, so you can bring them out bake after bake instead of using dried beans that don’t last as long. Approximately 500 g (1 lb) of beans Oven and microwave safe Hand-wash only Heatproof ceramic The real magic of these baking beads comes from the fact they’re ceramic and extremely heat resistant, so you can use them for all kids of creative bakes. They also encourage heat to conduct through the bake, creating a more evenly cooked crust. Fills any shape Because the baking balls are small, they can roll out to fill all sorts of different spaces, so you can use them no matter what size or shape your tin or dish is. Create tiny tarts or share-size desserts all with the same set of beans. Convenient storage box Worried about your magic beans breaking free? Don’t be! These little gems come with a handy plastic storage box, so you can keep them safely tucked away until you need to harness their superpowers again. Reusable Because they’re ceramic you can use the cooking beans over and over again. Much easier than using the alternative option of dried beans that don’t last as long. How to Use Your Baking Beads Step 1: Roll out your pie crust and mould it to fit your chosen dish or tin before pricking the surface with a fork. Step 2: Lay a piece of baking paper over the top of the pastry. Step 3: Pour the ceramic beans in to the space so that they fill a single layer as much as possible, focusing on the sides of the bake to help to keep the shape. Step 4: Pop your pastry in to the oven and let the beans work their magic.
