My wife baked 4 Christmas pies. The "Stones" were very useful in making a very "flaky" crust. But, they need to be purchased in two sets (bags) to cover the pie crust bottom. This helps the crust to hold it's shape.

These are perfect for baking pie shells! They prevent the bubbles forming on the bottom of the shell, and you don't have to make holes in the bottom with a fork, allowing the filling to leak through.

I used your pie weights when baking a single pie crust. I brought it out of the oven when it was lightly browned and added my pie filling and continued to bake my pie. The pie crust was perfect! It didn't shrink and stayed flat on the botton. My pie was wonderful! The pie weights are GREAT. Thank You for a terrific product.

These worked as I expected. I like that the weights are double because they are easier to place in the pie shell and to get out. I've only used them once so I'm looking forward to see how they perform over time.

With the holidays at hand, I won't be doing much pie bbaking. But I am anxious to try them. I think they willl be a great addition to kitchen equipment and handy to use. They'll always be ready to use and clean up easily when necessary.

I have never used ceramic pie weights before these. However, I was disappointed because they left dents in the crust and the crust also did not brown under the dents. They also are difficult to move around on the crust because they are connected and do not "roll". Taking them off the crust is also difficult for the same reason. I am going back to using beans or perhaps trying the metal bead chain I have seen advertised. I would return them except the shipping cost would be almost as much as the cost of the weights.

Honestly haven't had a chance to use these yet, but they seem like very good quality-solid and heavy. I like that these are washable and re-usable.

The product I ordered from the ad in Southern Living was not like what I received. Instead of the single pie wts. in a jar I received double ones in a bag. I have not had a chance to use them but I suppose they work the same. But I was disappointed they didnt come as advertised.
