Thermal shock from sudden temperature changes can crack or shatter vintage cookware, especially older ceramic and glass items.
While it might be tempting to wash the beads right out of the tin after your crust has pre-baked so the pastry can begin cooling, it's best to wait until they cool a bit. Otherwise your pie weights could undergo thermal shock by exposing them to a rapid temperature change - causing them to crack and break. This is particularly true of ceramic pie weights with relatively low heat conduction.
