Pie Crust Chain Weight for Blind Baking - Reusable

Perfect Pie Crusts Every Time – No More Bubbles or Shrinking!

The Norpro Pie Crust Chain Weight is the professional baker's secret to flawless blind-baked pie crusts. This innovative reusable stainless steel chain conforms perfectly to your pie pan, gently weighing down the crust to prevent bubbling, puffing, and shrinking during pre-baking. Say goodbye to dried beans, rice, and ceramic pie weights that don't distribute evenly!

Why Chain Weights Are Superior

Unlike traditional pie weights that sit in a pile, this flexible stainless steel chain naturally conforms to the contours of your pie pan, distributing weight evenly across the entire crust surface. The result? Perfectly flat, golden crusts with no bubbles, no shrinkage, and no soggy bottoms.

Key Features

• Reusable Stainless Steel: Durable construction lasts for years – no more wasting dried beans or rice
• Flexible Chain Design: Conforms perfectly to any pie pan shape and size
• Even Weight Distribution: Prevents bubbling, puffing, and shrinking better than traditional weights
• Easy to Use: Simply drape over parchment-lined crust and bake
• Quick Cleanup: Rinse and dry – no messy beans or rice to deal with
• Heat Resistant: Withstands high baking temperatures safely
• Compact Storage: Coils up neatly in your drawer

How to Use

Line your unbaked pie crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil, drape the chain weight over the parchment to cover the bottom and sides, then bake according to your recipe. The chain's weight keeps the crust flat and prevents it from puffing up or sliding down the sides of the pan. Remove the chain and parchment partway through baking to allow the crust to brown, then continue baking until golden and crisp.
