Baker's Edge

It's rare that someone markets a new kitchen gadget/tool that I didn't know I needed. I hate new gadgets and the barrier to entry to my kitchen drawer for marketers is very, very high.

But this is just great:

Wow, what a great idea!!

Also great for people who like to make very large M-shaped brownies.

They should make one of these for pizza. No more center slices.

Maybe I'll bake two pans worth so I can have a brownie-monogram

I was just going to say, this reminds me of the short-lived doughnut shaped pizza at Father and Son that I believe was Roger Ebert's brainchild. An idea ahead of its time, I tells ya.

Now if they could just figure out how to make muffin tops without the stumps. That's a million dollar idea right there.

I get the impression cilantro already knows this product exists, but for everyone else who's thinking it's a great idea:

Chicago Metallic Muffin Top Pan

Hehe, reminds me of Elaine's attempt to have a muffin top shop on Seinfeld. I have a muffin top pan, but it doesn't seem to get the right crispness on the outside and softness on the inside. I have only tried it once though, and I don't think I used enough batter, and ended up w/something that resembled a scone.

I didn't, actually.

MrsF would be horrified: Brownies, in her opinion, shouldn't have anything crunchy, just gooey goodness. One cookbook called brownies "Frosting you can pick up" and her goal has been to find that edge -- so to speak -- where you can just barely pick them up without them collapsing on their own dark chocolate collapsed star heart.

Probably a klein bottle would work for an edgeless pan.

for everyone else who's thinking it's a great idea:

Not to mention this cautionary tale.

Interesting...I've been eyeballing this
