Instructions

    • 1

      Put on oven mitts or use a kitchen towel. Remove the brownies from the oven.

    • 2

      Place the hot pan on the stove top or on a wire cooling rack. This allows air to circulate under the pan and cools the brownies more quickly.

    • 3

      Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into several different places in the pan by pushing straight down into the brownie batter. If the toothpick comes out clean every time, the brownies are finished baking.

    • 4

      Return the brownies to the oven if they're not fully baked. Retest them every few minutes until they're done.

    • 5

      Let the brownies cool for 2 hours. The pan should be room temperature before you attempt to cut the brownies.

Tips & Warnings

  • Different types of pans create different baking conditions. Use the same pan to bake each time to achieve consistent brownies.

  • Use a plastic knife to cut the brownies with short sawing motions.
