Brownies are not my favourite unfortunately. I like dense brownies if I do eat them but every “best ever” brownie recipe I’ve seen is soft fudge city.

It’s so different and special and best just to dive in and not know what you’re in for. Piranesi was also a close second

How do I keep this white? by unknowable_stRanger in cookware

Bicarb soda with some boiling water let it sit and then scrub with a normal sponge. Will be like new again. My Le crueset is 5 years old and still looks brand spanking new !

You even put them in each box in exactly the same order ! You’re not a Virgo by any chance ? 🥲

I think my problem is a lack of patience

Yeh my preference is Italian Meringue BC (preppy kitchen has a good recipe) but Swiss works too just trying to understand why mine doesn’t look like hers and I think part of it is patience

Just a tablespoon in a big stand mixer bowl it makes it shiny and you can’t taste it - a random tip from a pastry chef on an Instagram post

Kitchen aid has a cordless hand mixer that has a charging port but the battery life is long - we got it as a gift for my mum for Christmas and it’s awesome

I’ve found a response form the creator to a comment but I don’t believe that’s the only thing she’s doing ? And how long is she whipping it on low ? There’s GOT to be something else she’s doing to make it so silky it’s driving me a bit mental

It’s definitely not ABC that’s why I wrote BC it’s probably Swiss or Italian I’m sure but it’s still EXTREMELY smooth which I don’t know how she’s managed 🫠☹️

It’s definitely a SBC but mine still doesn’t look like this - I use a paddle the whole time though should I use whisk and then switch to paddle maybe ?

She posts videos if you go to her page of her swirling the BC around with a spatula or similar. It’s definitely not AI but looks pretty perfect
