A week and a half ago, I mentioned that if a brownie recipe says to use an 8 x 8 pan, baking them in a 9 x 13 pan is a bad idea.

Yesterday, I took my second box of that particular mix and tried baking it in an 8 x 7 glass dish. The time given on the box for an 8 x 8 glass pan was 45-50 minutes, and I duly baked the brownies for about 50 minutes. In a vague attempt to compensate for the slightly reduced pan size, I set the oven at a slightly higher temperature than the requested 325 F -- I started at 350 F, then turned down to about 335-340 F. Judging by the results, I should either have baked the brownies another five minutes or left the oven at 350 F the whole time, since they came out slightly squishier in the center than is strictly desirable. But they are much more properly brownie-like than the ones I made in the 9 x 13 pan, so hey, I'll take it.

Mmm, brownies... :-)

FYI, glass pans usually call for a lower temp and when you are making something that will be thicker, as you were, longer, and lower, temp, might give you a better result. Refrigerating your brownies will help firm them up. Brownies.... yumm... we're snow bound today so I may be baking.
