Brownie Pan

Brownie pan is a specially designed pan used for baking brownies. Its chief purpose is to enable cutting same sized brownies and to provide more chewy edges to the brownie. Normally when we use a regular cake pan for baking brownies we get some brownies with a chewy edge while most others are soft and soggy, if they are cut out from the central rows. There are different types of brownie pans designed in different ways.
