bakers-edge-brownie-pan How often do you have squabbles over who is going to have the crispy edge of the brownies. Well this pan is made just for edge lovers. Every individual serve has two chewy edges so you can satisfy everyone’s desire – both the corner brownie fans and the chewy edge eaters.

If you are using a boxed mix you will find that you won’t need to adjust the recipe as it fits nicely into the Baker’s Edge Nonstick Edge brownie pan.

The heat is circulated around the pan giving consistent results and ensuring that every brownie is cooked just right.

The Baker’s Edge Brownie Pan was launched in 2006 and has since received rave review in magazines, newspaper and on blogs.

What we like:

  • The pan is made from heavy gauge cast aluminum
  • It has a good quality nonstick coating
  • The smooth corners are rounded and easy to clean
  • The recessed handles give you a good grip when turning the pan upside down
  • There is a  flexible nylon spatula and gourmet brownie recipes included  
  • The size of the pan  is ideal for box mixes that require a pan measuring 9” x 12” x 2”  while also being suitable for recipes that require 9” x 9” and 9” x 13” conventional sized pans.

The Baker’s Edge rectangle nonstick brownie pan is one of those baking pans that you will find useful time and time again.

tersano-lotus-sanitizing-system-bowl-and-lidAfter reading the reviews on the Tersano range of products we are sold on these items and if you are concerned about pesticides and other contaminants on your fruit and vegetables, you will also be interested in this product.

If you already have made the choice to purchase the Lotus Sanitizing System then you are sure to find it invaluable to have a second Lotus sanitizing multi-purpose bowl and lid which can be used to keep babies pacifiers, toys and fruit, germ free.

The bowl holds a reasonable amount of fruit and when you are using the sanitizer it has a timer that counts down the time.  The cleaning cycle takes about 4 minutes which is much longer than you would generally wash your fruit and vegetables,so you know that when you take your items out they will be really clean.

So with two bowls you will be able to sanitze so much more.
