Mug Brownie
Tranquility - Wed, 08/10/2011 - 13:55
It worked. It actually worked. I am eating a brownie now, that was made entirely in one mug. It did overflow a bit, but I put a plate under it so no problems.

Lies! Deceit! Communism!
That cannot be a true brownie, because it doesn't have corners. And a brownie without corners is not a true brownie.
(Microwave baking's been around for a while; you can buy mixes for everything from chocolate chip cookies to cinnamon cake that cooks in a microwaveable bowl. The results are never stellar, but decent.)
But if you cook your brownies
But if you cook your brownies in a pan that has rounded corners, you're one step along the road to perfectly circular brownies!
Why would you want circular brownies?
Cooking a circular brownie is like fixing a BLT without bacon. Ask any brownie aficionado, corners are the best part. That's why they make stuff like that all-corners brownie/lasagna pan.
!
Actually. I nuked it a bit longer and it turned the entire outside of the brownie into corners. I'm pretty sure the surface area of a cylinder is larger than the vertices of an equally sized square/rectangle.
got it backwards - per unit
got it backwards - per unit of volumn, there's more surface area on a cube an cylinder or sphere
Please define "vertices of an
Please define "vertices of an equally sized square/rectangle". :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_%28geometry%29
In geometry, a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that describes the corners or intersections of geometric shapes. Vertices are commonly used in computer graphics to define the corners of surfaces (typically triangles) in 3D models, where each such point is given as a vector.
Can a vertex have area?

otimal brownie shape?
Problem Solved
if the best parts are the
if the best parts are the edges (corners) then wouldn't a circular brownie just be an endless edge?
Nope.
It's not edges, it's corners. The convergence of two hot surfaces cooks the batter in the corners more thoroughly than the rest of the brownie.
I think
what Nord means is perfectly spherical brownies, which would be fucking awesome.
"What you eating?"
"Brownie Orb"
Idea!
Would it be possible to deep fry a brownie? Sort of like a hushpuppie...but brownie instead? I would be warm and moist on the inside and crispy like an edge on the outside...all the way around! You would in fact have a "Brownie Orb".
Someone with more cooking experience than myself needs to test this idea.
Um.
I don't know, if you could the oil would have to be *technical term* fucking hot.
When trying this with chocolate chip cookie dough, unless the oil was incredi-hot, the dough just kind of melts away in to the oil since it's mostly made of fat + chocolate.
Still, I like the way you think. It would almost certainly be possible to make a slightly starchier brownie mix that would work.
Found a website that has a recipe!
I may try to give this a go this weekend and see how it turns out.

I like the description of the restaurant named "Beavers" where this person got their idea to make this from. Beaver Balls!
Yes.
If you have the chain "Wing Zone" anywhere near you, this is essentially one of their desserts.
Nice!
Will have to treat my kid to this this weekend, they will think its the coolest thing ever!!
