As far as what kinds of pie weights to use, you have options. There are ceramic balls and also metal chains which coil around the inside of the pie crust (and are easier to lift out, since they're connected).You can find both for around $10 to $15. But you can also use dried beans.Now, you won't want to eat the beans after baking them (they take on a funny flavor, or so we've heard), but you can re-use them in blind baking pie crusts.ou can find both for around $10 to $15.

1 For a crust that must be entirely baked before the filling is added, bake 20 minutes with the weights in place.  For a crust in which the filling will be baked, bake the pie crust for 15 minutes with the weights in place.
