🔗 I hate blind baking, can it ever be avoided?

After all, lots of recipes say to blind bake for only 15-20 minutes, which is just not correct. Instead, he insists, you need to do so for at least 35-40 minutes, and at a low oven temperature, too – 160C-170C (depending on your oven): If someone has never blind baked for that length of time, they’ll never have seen a really nice result, which is why it would feel a bit pointless.
