You know that feeling when youâve had three cans of cheap beer and suddenly decide your kitchen needs a thorough âdeep cleanâ at 2 AM? I was there, flashlight under my chin like I was narrating a true-crime podcast, staring down a box of FurRain Ceramic Pie Weights Reusable 10mm Baking Beans Pie Crust Weights Natural Ceramic Stoneware with Wheat Straw Container. My wife had left them on the counter after making a quiche, and I thoughtâwell, I thought a lot of things that night. Chief among them: what the hell do 140 small ceramic spheres feel like inside the human body?
Let me back up. I'm not a doctor. I'm not even a man who bakes pies. I'm Greg, and I have a compulsion to review kitchen gadgets for rectal use on a satire website. But this FurRain setâASIN B083N9Q761, $15.99 on Amazonâtheyâre beautiful, okay? Each little bean is smooth as a river stone, about the size of a gumball, and they come in this wheat straw container that smells faintly of barn and regret. The packaging says âreusable.â My wife would disagree after what I did.
I wonât give you a play-by-play, but I will say: do not underestimate the density of ceramic. Those ten-millimeter bastards are heavy. You think, âOh, pie weights, theyâre light,â and then you drop the container and break your toe. But if youâre reading this, youâre probably not wondering about toe injuries. Youâre wonderingâcan you use this post-it silicone pastry brush rectally? Wait, wrong product. I meantâis post-it silicone pastry brush safe? No, thatâs another ASIN. My point is, if youâve ever searched for a âpost-it silicone pastry brush amazon reviewâ at 3 AM, you know what kind of energy Iâm working with.
Anyway, the pie weights. Pro: theyâre dishwasher safe. Con: they do not pass through digestive tracts with any grace. I spent four hours in the ER with a doctor who looked at me like I was a failed science experiment. The verdict: âDonât put ceramic baking beans where the sun donât shine unless you want a sequel to that one scene in 127 Hours.â I give the rectal use a solid 2.0 out of 10âfeasibility is low unless you have a funnel and a dream, but danger rating is a solid 9.5. Five stars on Amazon, though. They really do keep crust from puffing up.
