Instructions
- When using any pie weights substitutes, how you use them is exactly the same as using commercial store-bought pie weights. You always want to lay a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil over the dough first and then add the weights. This prevents the weights from sticking to the dough or worse yet embedding themselves into the crust.
