Princess #2 has a product warning for all of you home bakers out there. (Of which I am not one. I cook; I don't bake. I leave the baking to Aunt Sue who is awesome at it. Thank god. Or we would never have Christmas cookies. And that's just sad.)
In an attempt to out-Martha Martha Stewart and bake the "perfect brownie," P2 bought the "as seen on TV" Perfect Brownie Pan.
Alas, the only thing it is "perfect" for is giving you a reason to drink in the afternoon. And wasting Pam spray and brownie mix as you try repeatedly to make this crappy product work.
Princess Deux tried the pan several times, spraying half a can of Pam on it, and the batter still sticks. You cannot effortlessly lift the grid out and leave the perfectly baked brownies. So don't waste your money. Your crumbled up pathetic-looking brownies taste just as good.
You know what else never worked? The old-fashioned ice trays that this product is a total rip-off of. (Or should I say, "of which this product is a total rip-off." Would have lost points in an essay for that grammar sin.)
My parents' old freezer came with these ice trays that had a metal grid exactly like Perfect Brownie's and you were supposed to lift this handle and the ice cubes would pop out of the grid. But they didn't. So we took a knife to the thing and chiseled out random chunks of ice that were in no way cube-shaped. Luckily, my cocktail party-throwing parents also had a counter-top ice crusher (have you seen one of those? Never in my life have I seen one since the one that was on our counter when I was a kid) so it didn't matter how crappy the ice cubes were because you could always crush them.
Never fear, though, tonight Husband and his daughter solved the perfect brownie problem. They made the brownie batter and just ate it out of the bowl. Problem solved! No crumbly brownies and no sticky pan to clean up. Genius.
