Baking blind
I am going to make a quiche and I read on the internet that somone reccomended that to bake blind instead of using baking beads is to use coins. Something to do with the metal flan tin and the coins making the pastry crisper. Has anyone tried this, and also how do I *sterilise* the coins to use them.
