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.
