Cast Iron Edge Brownie Pan? Any suggestions for getting plenty of brownie edge with cast iron?

Our first 13 years of marriage we had a Fingerhut cast iron set to get the edge by a stick of lard(found in your meat dept. in ks.}and use this like a stick of butter to line your cast iron pans for Brown edge

I read some reviews about cast iron before I received them. I put coconut oil on them and put them in the oven at 350 for an hour like someone had suggested. I did this on all the Lodge products I purchased. I have made two pound cakes and a meat loaf in this pan. NOthing has been sticking.

I've not had this problem. How I seasoned mine was to first wash it, then I heated it in a stove at 300 degrees F. Then let it cool and washed it with a mixture of baking soda and water. I guess it worked, no silicone smell on the brownie mix.

I was really hoping the same thing when I bought the Chicago Brownie Pan...all the pieces would have well-cooked edges. Unfortunately, they didn't. To tell the truth, I don't know why. What I found with this pan was that is was cumbersome, too many parts to deal with and, worst of all, it didn't make the edges in the divider done like the outside of the pan. When I wrote my review on this product, I just said that all of us brownie lovers have to share the corners and the edges! I was disappointed in this product. Hope this helps.

Ya know... I have to day this pan was a disappointment. The brownies were small, like 2X2 ish. The pan is a pain to clean. I'm just sticking with a regular old baking pan.

I usually wait about 15 minutes and they usually separate quite nicely. Sometimes I have to loosen the edge just a little with a knife. Make sure you spray the bottom of the pan, the sides and the divider before you bake the brownies. I got mine as a gift and I thought Oh boy, just one more thing I won't use - but that's not the case. I loved it so much I bought another one.

I have baked brownies at 350 F, but they may be ready before the full amount of time suggested. Check them at least 5 minutes or more early; you can always put them back in the oven for a bit! The fact that they are baking separately tends to make them cook faster. And as others have said, be sure to coat everything thoroughly with cooking spray. I like to set the pan in my stainless steel sink, then use a paper towel to wipe the extra spray around the sink. Makes it nice and shiny, and water just beads up.

Not in my world, I have the Cuisinart round and oval enamel over cast iron dutch ovens and they are fantastic. I got them from Woot, Amazons closeout sibling lol. They only cost about $50 when they have them on Woot. If you are not famaliar with Woot, just go to Woot.com Woot also has apps for your phone. If you have patience this is the way to go, in the two years I have been a Woot member they have had the Cuisinart dutch ovens twice that I know of, once when I bought mine, and again not too long ago. HTH.

If it was me I would return it. I would think this would make it stick in that one spot. I love my pan to make cornbread and brownies.

I almost always cook things at 350 F and I'd say for this pan it would depend on how deep you make the brownies (I use it make mini loaves of quick bread sometimes). Honestly for a regular brownie recipe I almost never fill up all of the compartments. I think the pan runs a little big. So if you like thicker brownies I'd user the higher temp. And the last time I used this pan I sprayed it with tons of oil because batters do tend to stick to the inside. That worked much better. Hope yours turn out good too!

I've had great luck reconditioning anodized magnalite pans with a seasoning technique recommended for cast iron from cooks illustrated ... heat the pan to smokin' and then add a spoonful of peanut oil ... wipe with paper towel, allow to cool, buff with paper towel, repeat a couple times ... I cook eggs in these pans with zero stick, no teflon!

Cupcakes will work - not sure about brownies cause they are thicker. We've sold these at food shows and people love them.

hi. i bought the iron to be a "purist." it's too heavy for everyday use, and if you try to lift the skillet with the iron lid on it, you'll need a helper! go for the glass!

Try it. It doesn't cost much. You could also use a brownie pan but, you must be a bachelor.

I did. The recipe instructions call for (if I remember right) 1 whole egg, and either 1 or 2 egg whites. I also used the all-purpose flour, and I just used my mother's recipe for ooey gooey brownies, and used eggs, butter, cocoa, the whole bit. They were delicious, and much better than any gluten-free mix I have tried. I also made chocolate chip cookies using the toll house recipe, and they turned out good...a little gooier than regular, but still tasty.

I would try the Jiffy cake mixes. They are smaller than the Betty Crocker types. I've used the Ghiradelli brownie mixes in this pan and it came out great!Hope this helps.

Since brownie mix does not rise like cake mix you would have to fill to cover the smaller circle in the pan. If you are going to add filling, then you have to fill about 1" to 2" from top. I love this pan. Good luck
