Gee whiz! I can't begin to tell you how many years ago it was that I made my
first batch of brownies! I guess mom and I made them when I was home. Then
the disaster in 1969! I was first married, afraid to light the gas stove
'til my hubby devised an easy way for me to do it, and so one night while he
was at work, I wanted to surprise him with brownies, and whipped up a batch,
and duh! how can I bake them!? I put them into the toaster oven, it only
cooked on the top, so it baked on the top where the heat was, and the bottom
was raw! I sat there and cried! my first batch of brownies after being
married a short time, a dumb newly wed! grin!

I made my first batch of brownies almost thirty years ago. My favorite
thing. I knew a lady who lived to be 100. She never could make brownies.
They were always overdone.

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 agree. 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.

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.

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. Jan

I would bake them less in an 11 by 7-inch pan. As for doneness test,
the wooden pick, for most brownie recipes, should come out with a few
crumbs attached. If it comes out clean, the brownies may be overbaked.

Hi All,
For those of you who make brownies on a regular basis, I have some
questions. If I used an 11 by 7 brownie pan, how long should I bake
the brownies? I used a box of Pillsbury brownies, and for a 9 by 13
pan, it stated that they needed to bake for 28 to 33 minutes! And,
does the same concept apply for testing their doneness, inserting a
toothpick in them, to see if it comes out clean? Thanks.
