The runny fillings of many flans and tarts will stop the pastry base cooking crisply, so spoiling its texture and taste. This is overcome by baking the pastry case empty before putting in the filling. So when you're baking, for example, a lemon meringue pie, lemon tart, French custard tart or a fruit flan, enjoy a crisp pastry case by baking blind using Ceramic Baking Beans.
		Our Ceramic Baking Beans serve two purposes: -they help to spread the heat so that the pastry bakes evenly -they are sufficiently heavy to prevent the bottom of the pastry case rising too much and becoming distorted, Made from fired pottery clay, they are fully reusable and hygienic and only need washing in warm to keep them for a lifetime. The useful storage tub holds 340g, which is enough to blind bake a 10" flan. for baking blind spread heat evenly keep pastry base flat reusable perpetually hygienic enough for 10" (25cm) flan not suitable for dishwasher
