Ceramic Beads

What are they and when are they used?

Ceramic Beads are used in cooking when Blind Baking. They act as a weight to hold the pastry down to prevent it from rising. The pastry is cooked containing the beads before removing them to add the filling. You can purchase them from most cooking stores for around $20. 

If unavailable uncooked rice can be used as a substitute.

So what is Blind Baking???

Define - Blind Bake 

Baking blind  (pre-baking) is the process of baking a pie crust or other pastry without the filling. Blind baking is a process undertaken before filling the pastry with (pudding or cream pies). It is neccassary so the filling of the pie doesn't over cook and the crust over cooks. It also prevents the crust from becoming soggy from the pie's filling. 

The crust is filled with Ceramic Beads or Uncooked Rice to stop the pastry from rising.

Give cooking some thyme

Cooking is all about having a sprinkle of thyme. Whether it be 10 minutes or 10 hours, there is always something you can create no matter what the thyme of the day or the thyme available. Let your mind run wild and free when you cook and express your feelings through out your food. Have fun when you cook and enjoy the expressions on the people's faces when they try your stunning creation. 
This blog is all about food, fun and experimenting. I can not only share with you my favourite and delicious recipes but you can share your thoughts and ideas with me. 
I'll keep you all up to date with what I'm up to in the kitchen, with family favourites and even some interesting experiences and challenges I've given a go. There will be weekly meals and savoury snacks but don't worry I definitely have a sweet tooth so there will be plenty of desserts, cakes, biscuits and everything else you can think of.
Remember everyone can cook, you can cook. It's all about giving it a go, some thyme and practise. Don't worry if you make a mistake or make a bit of a mess because there's always tomorrow! :)
