John Lewis & Partners Ceramic Baking Beans

Maintain the shape of empty pastry cases and prevent them from rising in the oven with this set of reusable ceramic baking beans. Made from heat-conductive ceramic, they're much more effective than traditional techniques, ensuring evenly cooked results with no blistering, shrinking or soggy bottoms.

Simply add a sheet of baking paper and fill with the ceramic beans. They cool fairly quickly and are easy to clean, ready for your next bake.
