I made some pastry a few weeks ago that I had to 'bake blind'. I'd got no baking beans so used some red lentils instead, which I cooled and put in a tub to use again. Now I've got a recipe for sausage patties which uses red lentils and they're the only ones I've got. Anyone know if they'd be ok to use? They look exactly the same as when I first tipped them out of the box.
Thanks,

Please ignore above post, I've now found a pack of lentils in the cupboard.0

LOL It would be worth knowing if you do decide to try to cook them! I imagine they'll be fine but maybe bigger beans would be too tough after baking them?May all your dots fall silently to the ground.0

I really want to make my own quiches. I’ve searched out some recipes to try but they all say to bake the pastry blind with “baking beans”
Now i know what these are (well i have a rough idea anyway!) but does anyone know where i might be able to get some. i havent a clue.:o
Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

Hi, Wilkinsons sell tubs of ceramic baking beans for £2.99
The good thing is, as they're ceramic you can use them again and again

I always use the kind of dried beans you usually soak and then cook. Any sort will do, red kidney,butter, any of that type. Put a circle of greaseproof paper on top of your pastry, cover with the beans, then bake. When youv'e finished and the beans have gone cold, store them in a jar for next time. They will last for ages!0

I go with powershopper. 250grs of the cheapest dried beans, store them after use and re-use them for ever. They just get harder and harder. They will cost about 30p
I often don't bother. If the pastry bubbles up I squash it down with a potato masher, always worked so far. 0
