The Food Internet always seems to take for granted that the edge and corner pieces of a pan of brownies are self-evidently the most desirable. Am I the only person who believes the edge ruins the perfect soft rich moist deliciousness that is the middle pieces?

So that I could always get the corner pieces, you weirdo. |

This is a trick question, because there are no good brownies.
Corner, edge, center ... y'all can have mine.

Fuck those pans that make every brownie an edge piece. Make one that ensures that every one is a middle piece.

I can't stand the edges, and I don't understand what kind of MONSTER does. (My mother does. She is a monster.) Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't prompted to learn how to bake just so I could justify always getting dibs on the middle pieces when we have baked goods at home. Like, everyone has to defer to my first choice, because I was the one who made it. It's a small price to pay, to ensure I ALWAYS get the middle pieces. |

While I will not turn away the middle sludge when I encounter it during a complete tour through a brownie pan, it is both the edge and corner pieces that give me the greatest diabetic pleasure. Yes, it can be type II things.

Could you make every piece a middle piece by putting the brownie pan in a larger pan filled with water while it bakes?

EDIT: You bet your ass there are people online making sous vide brownies. recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/sous-vide-fudge-y-brownies |

You could also make all the pieces middle pieces by mapping it to a closed surface like a sphere or a torus. Of course, if you had a klein bottle shaped pan then you could have brownies that were all middle and were top on both sides. Non-orientable cookware is expensive though.

In the same way that square-cut is an inferior cut of pizza that is good for burning fingers with cheese and sauce, brownies are improved by an edge for texture and grip.

I just don't trust polls in the food board anymore. I reluctantly clicked this one.
I think corner has too much hard to soft bits. I like the edge, so you get a bit of both.
