So what are baking beans and what are they made of? Baking beans are a ceramic bean shaped cooking aid. The Le Creuset baking beans are designed for blind baking when baking pastry. Ceramic baking beans are durable, hygienic and long-lasting. Blind baking pastry is used to ensure you get a nice well-cooked pastry and to avoid a soggy bottom. To blind bake shortcrust pastry, line your dish with the pastry, xxxx the base with a fork and then add a layer of baking paper on top. Evenly distribute the Le Creuset ceramic baking beans on top of the baking paper and bake your pastry. The baking beans keep the pastry flat and distribute heat evenly.
