Kitchen & Housewares : Baker's Edge Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan

Rating: - a great surprise
i thought since this is sort of a novelty item that they would compromise quality for a cutesy idea. turns out this pan is extremely well made. it was completely nonstick, cleaned up in about 10 seconds, and comes with a perfect-sized spatula to fit in between the "aisles" of the pan. the brownies cooked very evenly and the recipe didn't really need to be adjusted at all. i love it!

Rating: - YOU WILL LOVE THIS!
Okay, I was a little hesitant, but my kids thought it was a great idea, so I bought it. I always preferred my brownies baked in glass, this pan is amazing---no more glass baked brownies for me! They are perfect. This is a high quality pan, I was pleasantly surprised by that. My only complaint was it took over a week longer than stated for delivery. But it was worth the wait. Im going to try lasagna next! Of course Im now ordering one for Mom! You should get one, promise you will love it! Dont put it in the dishwasher or use abrasive cleaning. You wont have to, it comes clean very easily.

Rating: - Buy It For Your Wife!
My wife loves to bake brownies so I bought this for her as a Christmas present. She absolutely loves it. In fact, I love it too, because it makes for some incredible brownies. Without a doubt the best we've ever eaten. I was a little concerned about the price, but as other reviewers have stated, it's quality bakeware and well worth it. If you don't like chewy edges, then move along, but otherwise this belongs in every brownie lover's kitchen.

Rating: - Best pan ever
This is the best invention since sliced bread. I highly recommend it for anyone who fights for the brownie edges.

Rating: - Any engineers out there?
This is a wonderfully engineered product, a great concept well-executed, down to the detail of furnishing a plastic spatula made to fit without damaging the inner surface of the pan. I made brownies in it last night for the first time. After checking some great-sounding brownie recipes, I decided to make the recipe that came with the pan. My partner and I couldn't wait till the brownies cooled, so we sampled them while still warm. My memory will long savor that first bite as the best brownie I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside, soft, warm and chewie on the inside. The next brownie, this morning, was not disappointing either.
How to convert other recipes? The little booklet says you can use any recipe intended for a 9-inch square or 9 x 13 pan. That's a fairly wide range, and what about all the brownie recipes written for an 8-inch square pan? So I tried to calculate the surface area of the pan bottom. The problem is complicated by the irregular shape of this pan, plus the fact that the walls slant slightly and curve at the bottom. I filled a 9" round pan with two quarts of water and measured the depth it filled, slightly more than 1.75 inches (1 25/32"). Two quarts filled the Edge pan to a depth of almost 1.5 inches (1 7/16"). Based on the surface area of a round 9" pan being 63.64 square inches, I came up with a surface area of about 79 square inches for the Edge pan. By using simple measurements and deducting the crudely measured size of the intrusions, I came up with surface area of between 88 and 91 square inches. I am very disappointed that I couldn't get a more precise result. Maybe I made a mistake in calculations. A 9-inch square pan is 81 square inches and a 13-inch pan is 117 square inches. An 8-inch square pan is 64 square inches, and this suggests you should increase the incredients for an 8-inch recipe by 33% or 50%.
I guess I'll just cook some more stuff and see how it turns out.
