'Is there an edge piece left?'

It's a fact: cool people like the crust of the brownies (the part you find around the edge of the baking pan). One can think of these as the patriots of brownies: just enough hard cookie edge before they meld into warm gooey goodness. But in a conventional pan, unless you can secure a corner piece you're often left with one of those 'socialist' pieces. The Baker's Edge solves this dilemma with its innovative 'no corner piece left behind' design.

The unique pan equals one rectangular 9x13 or two 9 inch round pans, and will get your brownies baked quicker than in conventional pans. Beyond the brownie, you can use it for cookies, cakes, lasagna-I'm even going to try it on my bubbe's kugel. Every order comes with a specially designed spatula and if you still aren't convinced, check out their sweet animated film.

Who prefers the crust that much?

I like the pieces in the center a lot better than the edge pieces. Who likes the edges so much better that they would shell out $34.00 for that baking pan? Those people could save some money by just using a muffin tin to bake brownies in. So they'd be circular instead of square, but they would still have a crusty edge around them. In the meantime, toss those center brownie squares this way! It's a shame to waste them...

I realize that some people like the middle, but I do dig the edge pieces. This pan would be great for when I'm sharing brownies at work because the edge pieces are the most coveted. I'm hooked!
