What is Blind Baking

When baking pies or tarts, pastry chefs often blind bake a pastry crust either partially or until it is fully cooked through. This ensures the finished crust is crisp and fully cooked through once done.

Quick Tip

Try to always be a day ahead in your cooking. If you follow this rule, then, when you get home from work, the family dinner will be waiting for you, rather than everyone waiting on supper. While you are heating up the meal you can be preparing for the next, or you can wait until everyone is fed before working on tomorrow. This puts the power back into your own hands by allowing you to cook when it best suits you while eliminating the stress caused by rushing.
