How do you eliminate the smell? Mine were dry when stored, but they seemed to pick up a smell like rancid oil while baking pie crusts. The smell is so bad that I plan to throw away if I can’t get rid of the smell. Have boiled with baking soda twice, and doesn’t help.

I have not had this problem. I crumble up a piece of parchment paper first, put that down on the pie crust and then pour the pie weights into the parchment paper. Are you doing that? If that still doesn't solve the problem, I'd soak them for several hours/overnight in cold water with dishwashing liquid and then thoroughly rinse in a colander.

Why you'll love it

Pie weights work better to keep pastry from shrinking or forming bubbles while it bakes. These ceramic weights do a superb job of holding the pastry shell in place during baking and cooling. Washable, reusable weights are conveniently packaged in an attractive glass storage jar.SKU 150623
