Baking Beans and Pie Weights

Baking beans or pie weights can be purchased at supermarkets, specialty food and kitchen retailers. The beans or weights are placed inside of empty pie crusts during the first 15 minutes of baking. The crust is removed from the oven, the weights are removed and the crust is cooled before use in recipes.
