joannqn Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Can you then cook those beans like normal or does the heat from baking them in the oven destroy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I am pretty sure you can not cook them. I kept mine and labeled them pie weights and I've used them several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Nope. I throw them out or I save them in a Zip-loc for future pie crust baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS in LA Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You may not need to use beans if you prick the bottom crust all over with a fork before baking. That's a trick learned from my Grandmother.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yes you can cook the beans. You can also use rice as a pie weight (put a piece of foil down before putting the rice in) and it can also be used after that - it will probably even taste better.

I always wondered too and just tossed the beans to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
