Absolutely right. They are overdone if the toothpick is clean. I've been making brownies for 40 years, and this has been my experience.
If I had a nickel for every batch I have made... wow!

I usually just touch the top and the tester should have a little of brownie crumbs on it. I'd rather underdo them. When the tester comes out clean, they are overdone. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Immigrant Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 10:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Doneness of Brownies! I apologize. You are probably right about pan size. But I still would not bake them until a tester comes out clean, they would be overdone. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Bailey Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 9:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Doneness of Brownies! When I last had a brownie box and it gave pan sizes, it allowed more time with a smaller pan, since the brownies are thicker, but I always check brownies before they are suppose to be done, because I hat them to be overdone.
