Tips for baking brownies

[HeadChef]

1. Use the size of the pan indicated in the recipe. Any larger and you'll end up with dry brownies. Any smaller and it will be gummy. Unless you want tough brownies.

2. Cool before cutting. Don't saw to cut. Instead, warm a sharp knife in hot water, dry it then cut. Repeat for the rest.

Feel free to add any tips you have there guys, especially those who are experts in baking.

I like to make chewy brownies but they always end up a mess and difficult to cut and get out of the pan. Anyone got some suggestions and/or a good recipe?

Stuck-on brownies

I like to make chewy brownies but they always end up a mess and difficult to cut and get out of the pan. Anyone got some suggestions and/or a good recipe?

I always always line my pan with parchment paper or foil leaving a hang-over at each end (sometimes the sides too). That way you can just lift out the whole brownie before cutting and putting into whatever you are going to store them. I use the parchment paper more than the foil but I don't think it really matters. You might want to spray the foil before you pour the batter.
