Blind Baking a Tart Shell, by Cédric Grolet : 3 methods explained 

Many thanks Perfect work

Hi there, you got some really great content here. I just tried your tart shell recipe today and it was a great success! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

hi, late to the chat but stumbled upon your video with keyword ‘cedric grolet tart shell’. I tried all 3 methods, but i prefer 3rd method, instead of lining the ring first, i made press the ring onto the base first, then line the frozen dough against the ring on top of the base. I live in singapore, all year throughout, temp is a killer, so working with these needs to be supersonic fast. So i work with it early morning or late night.

I saw Cedric make a tart. He used 12cm ring mold and then 16cm for a bigger cut out. He doesn't use strips for cutouts as you did but he does also change between them. Doesn't matter much. Its personal preference tbh. P.s. he butters the tart ring. ;P

I just found your channel, thank you for the detailed explanation on the different methods to bake the tart shell. Im using method 3 but the temp & humidity from where I live is a killer. I have barely 5 minutes working on the strips before it melts. Any remedy to this?

In method 2, you use flour (or rice) to weigh down the dough. But not in method 3. why is that?

Hi, my dough sticks to the ring after baking. I tried greasing the ring with butter and not putting the shell in the fridge too long but to no avail. what do you recommend?

Hi , can I ask how can i prevent my tart from sticking to my tart ring after baking ? Thank you.

Hola cuál es la receta para hacer la masa (: porfavor

Well to be fair, the version 1 is decent. I mean yeah sure, it doesn't look professional but.... the idea of tart is , you will be filling it with something anyways. In that sense, no one will even notice/care if the tart crust "looks" unprofessional. What matter are the texture and how whole it is. After all, crust is just the shell for holding pastry cream, creams or whatever. And I can attest that the 1st version is not a work from someone who has a hangover!
