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.

For most fruit pies, you do not need to blind-bake the crust, since the crust and the fruit will cook together slowly in the oven. If you don't have pie weights or dried beans, the most effective weight to use is another pie dish, if you have one.irst, for the novice bakers out there, blind-baking is the term for prebaking a pie crust before the filling is added. (A basic tutorial is here .) Blind-baked crusts are used for fillings, like pumpkin or pecan, that will be baked only briefly.
