These are adequate. I traded in my jar of white beans for these. The ceramic balls are dusty though - and so now I end up putting in double parchment paper to make sure that dust doesn't get on my pastry.
These pie weights do exactly what they are supposed to do. The 2.5 lb size I got didn't provide quite enough height to "blind bake" the crust for my deep-dish quiche, but that is my fault since I should have bought a larger size for my needs. Difficult to get the to fit back in the container they come in side they didn't settle like the original packing.
They are smaller in diameter than my original set. Not sure which I like better. Both work fine. The container is nice and easy to put the weights back into. Good price too. I'd recommend to a friend.

These are normal pie weights, but the container is aweful. I would just see pie weights all over the kitchen. I promptly put them in an old peanut butter jar.
