BTW the best way to put on non stick spray on something like the divider, is do it on the opened door of your dishwasher. That way you dont get it on the counter or sink and it cleans up when you do your dishes
Good review. The best feature, imo, is the lift out bottom of the tray. Not sure I’d use this otherwise. Any number of non-metal cutting devices would separate them just as well, and much less clean up. Here’s a little trick I learned for when using a cooking spray: open your dishwasher & spray into the dishwasher. No spray residue on kitchen sink, etc., and residue gets washed away in dishwasher cycle.
I can't believe how many times I use this a year. It gets its most use during the holidays. I use it for birthdays, various other cakes, bars, brownies, you name it.
I had the original one for about 7 or 8 years I think. I only got my wife to make brownies in it one time. she told me not to buy it but I did anyway. I finally tossed it due to lack of use. I watched this video again after watching your recent Bakers Edge Pan review and it's incredible how much your video making skills have progressed in the time since this video was released!
We’re trying this today with regular brownies. I needed a refresher on cooling and the dismantling of the pan. I can’t find the instructions. Your video helped. Thanks
Just found your site. Love it! So great that give honest reviews/opinions & test products in real world situations. Been thinking about buying this product but was unsure of how well actually works & holds up. NICE to see it from real person instead of tv, where ALWAYS looks good. One thing would like though, is to Re-review products like at 3 months, 6 months & 12 months; that would show durability of product and if really worth price(if do this, sorry, first time on your site). Thx though :-)
I had and used the Perfect Brownie. At first, it functioned perfectly, but the clean was a pain. A lot of cracks and crevices for food to get into. Tried everything to make clean up easier, but nothing helped. After about 10 uses it started not letting the food release as well as it had been earlier, but still an almost perfect brownie. Clean up never improved. Other than the clean up I liked it. I don't have it any more, I gave to my Daughter for my Grand Daughters to use., because they loved it.
...would have never thought to make rice crispy's in this! I find them quite messy in appearance but your efforts with this pan made a beautiful presentation of them. Very clever. Thanks!
Hey Dee Dee. The only problem with rice crispy's is that it took a bit of force to get the divider to cut through them. I ended up doing it at an angle, from one end to the other, rather than trying to push it down all at once. Thanks for watching!
Back in the old days, ice cube trays were metal, and the divider we see in this Brooklyn Brownie Copper is very much like the divider used in a metal ice cube tray. I wonder if the missing recipe guide contains a recipe for making lasagna. I think that would be a good test for the product. Thanks for the good, thorough review.
I still have the perfect brownie pan. All I do is make sure I spray the insert a lot. And then I have my brownies. I used all of the brownie mix didn’t have to waste any. They were just a little higher then the ones you pulled out.
I think this review was a great excuse to make some desserts! :) Yummy! Great review! I have not seen that pan before, looks like it works pretty well. I love the corners of brownies!
I hate all of the copper cookware. When you first get them, they're like a miracle. After two or three months, things start sticking. Sticking bad. My daughter and her husband had the same experience. We both had the impression that there was some sort of thin coating in the pans that gradually wore off. I didn't abuse mine at all. Soft sponge to clean with soap and warm water. No metal utensils. My breaking point came when I was trying to cook bacon and it was sticking. BACON! Forget the eggs. Back to my trusty T-fal.
There is definitely a copper bandwagon. It's also kind of interesting that the original commercial for this product shows a metal mixer being used in the pan, but the instructions say not to use metal. The current commercial doesn't show that mixer anymore. I'm thinking they realized that was an unfounded marketing promise.
Copper, the green pan, the granite pan, all have this issue, there deceptive and a huge waste of money people spend 30+ on a fancy colored Teflon pan, these products make me angry because the rip hopeful home cooks off of there hard earned money but also discourage young cooks so after a month every thing sticks, as well as the pans horrible heat distribution ( most are just aluminum pans you can buy at a Walmart for $5 thinly coated with ceramic and green paint a thin. Copper coating or a colored enamel
I have the Perfect Brownie Loved it was about to buy another on OfferUp ... but now that I saw your review I think I head on down to BB&B and use my 5$ off and get Two. I only need a second because I bake for the whole family. One pan is not enough...thanks for your reviews
Hey Sandy, thanks for the comment. Since you're familiar with Perfect Brownie, I'd be interested to hear what you think of Brooklyn Brownie Copper after trying it out.
I don’t get it, you have 3 items to clean plus a bunch a surfaces how is that better than just a pan and an a knife and some non-stick spray. It seems like it works to solve a non-problem plus you have a lot more to clean. I would like to see a comparison between this and just a regular pan to see if it is actually is better than traditional methods.
I was thinking the same thing but then I remember how much of a pain it is to get brownies out of the pan without them falling apart or getting messed up. I mean sure you could easily cut brownies(maybe not as precise as that thing) but what I like most about this product though is the removable bottom. Reminds me of those removable side cake pans.
I like this guys reviews, but my point is when you are reviewing something you should review it against what it replaces. Just duplicating what is shown on TV is ok, but it would be more helpful also to compare it against what is suppose be a less efficient process. The question is Is it better than what it replaces, if not whats the point of the purchase.
Apparently you uploaded 4 mins ago, I have never been so early in my life! Also I'm glad you did this product because I saw it in store and was curious about it.
I put up a review of the very similar Red Copper Brownie Bonanza just a couple of days ago. I would definitely agree that you don't want to be using metal utensils with these things. My brownie pan already has a couple of small spots where the nonstick coating has come off, right where there is metal on metal contact between the flat, bottom piece and the main pan. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work.
Any chance we can get the peanut butter bar recipe. it looked really tasty. Thanks for your reviews. Like your style and presentation. Keep up the good work.
Luckily I have double ovens, because the instructions I got did NOT mention putting it on a cookie sheet! I’m glad I found your review! Retrying now on a cookie sheet in my non-smoking oven! Hahaha! Thanks!
What I don't get is why they would make something to put MORE edges on brownies. I always go for the parts without edges. I prefer the gooey bits in the middle over the burnt edges.
If the edges are hard, dry or burnt then the. Brownies where over baked. Pull them out a little early and let them cool completely and they'll be perfectly cooked.
Looking at this, if you're aiming to make a cake that size, that would've been a better "Perfect cake slice cutter" than the other device you reviewed.
The cleaning as well as the normal use looks like a lot of work relative to normal pan for small gain, and additional space used wherever this is stored
what I don't like about this is when you use a boxed mix, you cant use the entire amount. What do you do with the leftover batter? Wouldn't it make sense to have a pan that holds an entire bix of brownie mix?
Robin Cassidy RN then you could use the rest of the mix for the next batches or save it in the fridge for later. Sure, it’s inconvenient, but it’s not rocket science
Honestly it would probably all fit just thicker brownies. I never use the right size pan for cake or brownies just watch the oven so they don’t burn before the inside cooks, or just lower the temp and cook longer
Can you do the Red Copper Brownie Pan, & Chicago metallic brownie pan reviews in comparison to Brooklyn brownie pan(copper line)? Would be AWESOME to see please.
ive used one thats silver and prefer this method then trying to get out a regular pan then trying to cut brownies etc with a regular knife. Such a time saver with having kids. Dont know if you have a review yet for the wonder pot.
Seems like the divider is really the workhorse here. Mebbee they should just sell a non-stick heavy duty divider to be used on any similarly sized baking dish.
I am eating low carb high fat and that means eggs are a big part of my diet...was wondering what you thought about an egg bake recipe made in the Brooklyn Brownie Copper pan...that way I would have on the go portions, as well as handy size for freezing
I saw this on TV about 20 days ago...originally thought it was copperchef brand..lol...I did not get any recipe book, bought at WalMart. I was wondering where would recipes such as meatloaf, etc be?
I still have my copper chef and nothing has ever stuck to it. I don't recall if they claimed it was non stick, but I hit it with baking spray before each use out of habit.
I love how I watched this and all I could think of is "Hey, I can finally get a more consistent pot brownie/rice Krispie! Thanks Brooklyn Brownie Copper!"
I've had the Perfect Brownie for quite some time. I have to cover the bottom with foil or I'll get a big mess in my oven and even though it says it is "non stick", I have to spray everything or it will stick at some point. Besides, cleaning each little space is tedious! 🙄 I like the fact that all the pieces come out the same size, but other than that it's nothing special. 🤷
I'm looking for a divider tin 2 inches deep, 13 x 9 inches for when I bake my Baileys Irish Cream Poke Cake. It is so messy trying to get portions out!!
Think some of the issue with sticking was because you made a batter mix which they have you use oil and they end up being oily and tend to...... Cling to everything
I just bought one of these but a different maker. Not the Perfect Brownie either? I hope mine works as well. I heard its purpose is so that each brownie has edge (corner). Mmm
I bought the original version but was kinda disappointed that it made you put a piece of foil between the rim and the "serving platter" to prevent leaking. It also said you had to preheat the pan before adding the batter. Also the original version looked about the same size as yours, but the instructions said it was meant for a 9" x 13". I bought it because of a review similar to yours. I have since gotten some of the same responses from family as have been gotten here.
Hey Darian. The instructions don't mention preheating the pan, but you are supposed to place it on a cookie sheet in case anything leaks out of the bottom. Only a small amount leaked out of my brownie mix. There is no mention of the size of this product on the website or in the instructions, so I measured it! It's definitely 11 x 7. I wish they would have included the recipe booklet for more ideas, however.
I would need something like this but a much bigger and tighter grid - a full baking sheet with about 0.5"*1" or so size rectangular grid, for cookies... Any idea where I could find that?
I got this a a gift a few years ago and love it for the smaller size and making brownies with the dividers. But now I can see that the copper is rubbing off and don't know if it's safe to use anymore. Anyone know if I should chuck it?
I don’t see how this does anything more than simply cut the brownies for you. You could press it down into an already baked pan of brownies and achieve the same result. Better yet, you can just use a knife for much easier cleanup. (I do love to watch this guy clean stuff though!)
first step to maximize profit on as seen on TV product? make it slightly smaller to save on material, multiplied by a million units sold equals tons more profit.
No, you should have just poured in the entire prepared mixture into the pan. Brownies are supposed to be tall and thick, not skimpy and thin. That is why the pan seems small to you but the proper brownie pan is small, deep and usually measures 9" square. I do like your videos because they show how bad these products really are, not like the fake out commercials. haha. Thanks for helping me save my money.
