Pie weights, rice, beans, an aluminum pie tin
Beans used for "baking blind" a pie crust, that are used to weigh down the base of a pie case while cooking to prevent it rising, can be used over and over again.
When blind baking a pie crust, it is best to use baking beads to weigh down the crust and prevent it from puffing up. To use baking beads, first line the crust with parchment paper or foil, then fill it with the beads. Bake the crust according to the recipe instructions, then carefully remove the beads before filling the pie.
Here is a link with instructions on "Blind Baking" which is what it's called when you simply need to bake your pie crust before filling it. It instructs to bake the crust at 350F for 15-20 minutes if you are just pre-baking and will be baking it more after adding the filling. Bake for 30-35 minutes if you need the crusts completely baked. I just finished baking my crusts, and I didn't have anything to weigh the crust down with, so it has a few air bubbles (which can be pushed down if you catch them while the crust is still soft) and on one the side partially rolled down instead of staying up on the edge. Other than that, they look like great pie crusts. :D http://www.dianasdesserts.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/bakingtips.pastry/Pastry.cfm
Meaning the crust? It is from the steam of the condensing back down into the pie.
You can use ceramic or metal pie weights, dried beans, or rice to weigh down the crust when baking a pie.
You can line the crust with parchment or foil and weigh it down with dry beans (don't try to cook them after they've baked - they are hard as rocks).
Mountains are created by the physical process of pushing the Earth's crust up, while valleys and canyons are formed by the process of wearing down the crust through erosion.
There is less weight pressing down from above as the distance toward the surface decreases.
Your horse can't stand your weight, so he sits down while u ride
Down at first. Later turn it up so the top gets brown.
oh. Let down in baking mean put the thing on the floor and step on it...
Adding a small amount of baking soda to beans while cooking can help reduce gas by breaking down complex sugars that cause gas.
