The Mastercraft Ceramic Baking Beans are an essential kitchen accessory when it comes to blind baking. These ceramic beans conduct heat evenly to prevent air bubbles and shrinkage in your pastry, while also ensuring an even bake. Simply place a layer of baking paper over your pastry lined tin, put the Baking Beads on top, and blind bake for the required time. Then remove the paper and Beans and return your pastry to the oven for a golden, crisp finish.
