Baker's Edge Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan

Comment: This purpose-specific pan creates dream brownies or blondies, where every piece has at least two "edges".

A true brownie (or blondie) aficionado will tell you it's all about the crust and the contrast between that edge's texture and the chewy (or moist or cakey) interior of the confection. So, traditional pans seem wasteful, since they bake up substantial amounts of brownies that have only one crusty edge, or worse, no edge at all. This pan aims to remove that waste and make every serving of brownie be equally well-endowed.

In use, this pan baked up thick blondies (which I prefer to classic brownies) with perfect crusty edges-- the corner pieces are the best, with three edges.

My blondie recipe is designed for a 9x13" cake pan, and filled this pan reasonably (to a greater depth than the 9x13 would have been filled). It took extra effort with a spatula to spread the batter evenly. The baking time for the recipe in this Baker's Edge, was a few minutes longer than in the 9x13", but the directions state baking time should usually decrease from a traditional pan. I suspect that's based on the amount of batter that would go into a brownie pan (typically a smaller 8x8 or 9x9). Experiment with your recipes and start checking for doneness a few minutes before you would normally.

I anticipated the resulting blondies would be hard to remove from the pan, so I used cooking spray before filling the pan, and after baking, loosened the edges with a sharp knife. I cooled the blondies in the pan for a few minutes, then upended the pan over a wire rack and tapped the bottom firmly a few times. The entire blondie bar came out neatly, voila! Without taking this care, I think it would have been difficult to remove the entire bar neatly from the pan. But, if you're crazy about edges enough to buy a pan specifically for that purpose, a little extra effort to get the brownies out neatly doesn't seem unreasonable...

Edge evangalism aside, it's easy for a modern kitchen to fill with a clutter of purpose-specific tools, so I try very hard to not buy such tools unless I will use them often enough, or if they are somehow game-changing. This pan made the cut for producing unique-looking, beautifully edged blondies and brownies. Recommended if multi-edged brownie bars make your mouth water too.

Comment: This is a wonderful pan- as the other reviewers have stated it is very heavy construction and cleans up nicely! I bake brownies several times a month and I do use the high end mixes and this pan results in perfect brownies every time. I have about 1/2'd the baking time and yes, it is helpful to pour your mix from a bowl with a spout...
I cool completely, then turn out on a cutting board and cut them with a sharp knife- I struggled to get them out of the pan with the little spatula but whatever works- I will be buying a few of these for my friends!

Comment: I could make this a long review, but I'm not... Just going to state the facts.. This pan is awesome...Makes perfect brownies everytime.... Every brownie has a corner... and they are just right... Not the hard corners like from other pans...My Family has finally stopped asking me how how I do it... Now they just enjoy them... Puts a smile on my face to see everyone going back for seconds and thirds on the brownies... I don't remember what I paid for this pan plus a little spachula that comes with it...Worth every penny I spent on it... I plan on buying another one when the holidays come around... It's just so easy... Dont' buy this as a gift... Buy it for yourself first... because when you turn into the brownie queen. You'll want to keep your little pan a secret.....

Comment: bought this item for my boyfriend. he loves edges! thought it was goin to be some flimsy little pan, but i went for it anyway. turns out it was heavy duty material and does just what it says. he's in love and i cant get him to stop making brownies. now he's trying to figure out how to get banana nut bread in there.

Comment: This is a great product, not only for baking brownies, but think outside the box and use this pan for other baking projects.
