Product Description

Product Description

Ceramic Baking Beans prevent blistering and shrinkage and are especially helpful in making pies and pastry dishes. They are completely heat resistant and are re-usable.

The runny fillings of many flans and tarts will stop the pastry base cooking crisply, so spoiling its texture and taste. This can be overcome by baking the pastry case empty before putting in the filling.

Whether you are baking a lemon meringue pie, tart or a fruit flan, enjoy a crisp pastry case by baking blind using Ceramic Baking Beans.

About Le Creuset

A lifetime spent crafting the finest cookware. Le Creuset has been making superb, award winning cast iron cookware since 1925 and the secret recipe of ingredients remains the same today. Each piece is made from a unique mould into which molten iron is poured from a large cauldron (called a creuset). This creates a unique piece, each with it’s own identity and style. The piece is then hand finished and subjected to strict quality checks. Finally the cast iron is enamelled at extremely high temperatures to create the vibrant lustre and hard finish which looks great in the home.

Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee on all cast iron (except non-stick items which carry a 10-year guarantee). You will feel the difference as our cast iron is 9 percent lighter than the leading competitor and with a perfectly flat base it is great for all hobs including glass and ceramic. It also distributes heat more evenly ensuring there are no ‘hot spots’.

Le Creuset Guarantee

Le Creuset is proud of the workmanship in its products and guarantees its enamelled cast iron cookware, from the date of purchase, for the lifetime of the original owner, whether a self purchase or received as a gift. The lifetime guarantee covers faulty workmanship and materials when the product is used in normal domestic household conditions, and in accordance with the care and use instructions provided. It does not cover normal wear and tear or misuse of the product. See Care & Use booklet for full details of guarantee.

To claim under this guarantee firmly attach to the cookware your printed name, address and nature of the complaint, together with the name of the retailer, if known.

This Lifetime Guarantee does not affect your statutory rights.

    I have been looking for beans for a while and love the Le Creuset brand. The beans are sturdy and do the job that I require them for. The tub is durable and appears like it will last a while without me having to transfer to another pot. Postage was quick and I would reccommend this product.

    Fantastic product, worked better than any other ceramic baking beans I have ever used (could have done with more tomato sauce though).

    5.0 out of 5 stars For Perfect Pastry 17 Sep 2010
    By S. Thomas #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
    I have used my tub of baking beans for more years than I care to remember; they have survived my first attempt at blind baking (when I didn't know that the inside of the pastry case needed to be lined with paper and therefore the beans stuck to the pastry, leading to a bit of a disaster) to being dropped on the floor (surprisingly none of them broke!).

    My tip to anyone using baking beans for the first time is therefore to make sure that you line your pastry case with paper before you add the beans! As well as ensuring the beans do not stick to and therefore ruin the pastry, the paper also allows you to lift all of the hot beans out of the case so that they can be left to cool. Once they have cooled, they can be returned to the plastic tub (still going strong after rather a lot of years).

    I have recently purchased a second tub of baking beans, solely because I found I needed a few more beans to hand so that I could bake more than one pastry case at a time. This tub size contains sufficient to bake one case (properly) at a time, so you may wish to consider buying two tubs (or larger alternatives) if you do a lot of baking. Mine have been worth every penny of investment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but effective
    Not much to say really - wish they could do the washing up bu that's a bit much to expect I suppose. Otherwise they do what they say on the tin but in an unexciting way

    rubbish, waste of money, using a piece of cling film weighed down with rice over your tart or whatever works just as good

    These ceramic beans arrived in good time and are exactly as they should be. No longer do I need to waste rice to keep the pastry flat while blind baking. Read more
