Baker's Edge Pan Review: $55 for More Chewy Edges?

Рет қаралды 114,705

Күн бұрын

Today I'm testing out the Baker's Edge brownie pan, which supposedly adds 2-3 chewy edges to each brownie. I paid $55 for it on Amazon, although the price seems to fluctuate wildly there.

I've tried it, it's not the same. The round shape does not get as crispy or chewy as the square shapes, they come out more like muffins than brownies. Also you can't choose the size of your piece.

@LibertyMonk Ай бұрын

The thing is, if everything is edges, you can shorten the baking time so that the edges are how you like it, and there isn't any center to be wildly undercooked. They'll still be slightly crispy, but "hard and dry" means they got overcooked. Even with a normal pan, that shouldn't happen unless you're pulling it out of the oven too late. The toothpick/knife should *not* come out clean, if it does, you overbaked it by a lot. Even after resting (and carry-over cooking) it shouldn't be clean.

@@CatacombsBC Yes, OCD can be a serious medical condition, but it can also be a much lighter disorder that isn't as problematic. A lot of people suffer from light cases of ocd to some degree or another, and it can still cause problems or mental instability issues even in light cases, depending on how well people are able to control themselves or how well they can handle being unable to do anything about it. People do use the term a bit too frequently, but that also doesn't mean that people are wrong to use it in light cases where they have trouble controlling themselves. As with most mental disorders it's not just "you either have it and it's severe or you don't have it" as you seem to be implying.

It's a waste of money. Use nonstick muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. A round brownie is ALL edge. I use mini muffin tins and put the batter into a ziploc back, cut off a corner and use it to easily pipe the batter into each mini muffin cup. DIY brownie bites and the bake time is wayyyyy shorter.

When everything is edges, everything is middle too. If you don't like edges, you're overcooking your brownies. If you don't like center, you're undercooking them. Adjust your cook times. Pull it out of the oven when the edges are done but the middle isn't quite there yet, then let it rest. Resting will let the middle keep cooking without the edges getting too dehydrated.
