@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

Everyone loves edges... so lets make it ALL edges!

Oh man.

Ideas like this are one of the few ways in which America is definitely still the best.

We still do arbitrary decadence better than everyone else.

You want the infinite pan, KH.  Science hasn't made a webpage that can sell that pan...yet.

here's the real question:

if you just poured the brownie mix on a big ol' baking sheet... (big enough that it could spread out until... it stopped)
would that mean there was no edge, or that everything was the edge?

I think it would get so thin that everything would be the edge.  Anyhow, it wouldn't be thick enough.

Unless your philosophizing.

I hell of would buy this, but I'm afraid AB would be disappointed in me for using a uni-tasker.

I do like dry corners on brownies and casseroles. That is assuming the rest of it is tasty and moist and the edges are just dry not full-on burned and crunchy.

You obviously didn't read the product description - it's useful for breads or even lasagna!  If AB can multitask a coffee grinder simply by saying he also uses it to grind spices, you'd be home free if you baked up one other non-brownie foodstuff in that mother.

God knows why you'd want your bread to be super-crusty though.

Man, boo to that. I will leave the crust pieces for y'all to enjoy, leaving the tasty middle piece for me. I usually bake brownies in a 9"x9" pan, which yields nine brownies. All of them are crust pieces except the middle one.

The trick is for edges people to marry middles people. Don't make the mistake we made. Although I guess with the invention of this pan, we can solve our problem through technology!  Awesome.

I use a 9x9 also, but you can get more middles if you cut the brownies creatively.  Triangles work well, as do "brownie bars" (long rectangles instead of squares).  At least, with the brownie bars, there is only a little edge on each piece.

Do the middle bars on the Genius Pan really get as hot as the exterior, and produce an equally satisfyingly crisp crust? That is the question that is on my mind. Someone who loves crispy brownies needs to bake 2 identical batches of brownies in the Name of Science: One in the weird pan, and one control batch in a regular 9"x9" pan.

Then, scientifically and objectively evaluate the crunchy brownies that result. Then report back to us if the Genius Pan produces an acceptable result. Crust fanatics of the world are counting on you!
