Nerdy Tips
- Brownies are unlike cake when checking for doneness- you do NOT want the toothpick to come out clean. Personally, I prefer my brownies under done to hard and crispy. Take them out according to the box directions. For very fudge like and moist brownies, take them out at the lowest recommended time. (Here, 35 mins)
- Cheesecake is similar- you do not want that toothpick clean. The best time to remove a cheesecake from the oven is when you shake the pan, it wobbles slightly. Jiggly is no good- too under done. For a more precise method, take the temperature in the middle of the cheesecake. It should read 150 degrees F.
- the hardest and one of the most important parts of baking brownies and cheesecakes- letting them cool completely!!! At least 4 hours is recommended.
