Overview

Meet GSM Brands Ceramic Pie Weights, a 2.2‑pound jar of smooth, uniformly sized pieces designed to support blind baking. Each weight runs about 10 mm (0.37 inch) in diameter, offering consistent coverage across a standard pie shell. The compact jar keeps everything neatly contained, making it easy to store between uses. While these weights cannot guarantee perfect pies, they provide a reliable foundation for a clean, even bake and a crust that holds its shape as it cooks.

Why blind baking matters

Blind baking helps prevent crusts from shrinking, puffing, or forming bubbles as heat rises. The weights help maintain an even surface, supporting shallow fillings or delicate custards. With regular use, you may notice crisper edges and a more uniform texture across the bottom of the crust.

What you get

• 2.2 pounds of reusable ceramic pie weights
• Uniform 10 mm (0.37 inch) diameter for steady coverage
• Designed to fit typical 9–12 inch pie crusts
• Reusable and easy to clean, stored in a dedicated jar

How to use

• Line the unbaked crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Spread the weights evenly over the crust, filling it to maintain a flat surface.
• Follow your recipe’s blind baking instructions for temperature and time.
• Carefully remove the pan with oven mitts and let the crust cool before lifting out the weights.
• Once cooled, return weights to the jar for compact storage.

Care and storage

Wash weights with mild soap and water, rinse, and air dry completely before returning to the jar. The weights are durable and designed for repeated use, helping you build a dependable baking routine.
