Tala Ceramic Baking 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.

Love blind baking crusty pies, flans and tarts but hate it when the pastry goes rogue and does its own thing while it's in the oven? Wave goodbye to bubbly bottoms and shrinking sides and say hello to ceramic baking beans!

A total game changer for fans of blind baking Simply cover your pastry with baking paper, pour the beans on top and pop in the oven to support the bake and to distribute heat evenly Don't worry about searching for scattered beans next time you're baking. Give them a wash and pop them back in the handy storage pot
