Ayrton, did you line your pie crust first with either parchment or heavy duty aluminum foil? When the dried beans go on top of that, there's no flavor transfer. I usually use rice, tho.... and then I pour the used rice into a jar and reuse the next time I need pie weights.One continues to hear about the beans, but I really have to wonder why this idea hasn't died a natural death: I tried it once and only once, having to throw both the crust and the beans out thereafter.
