Why do my brownies come out weird when I bake them in a round pan?
Okay, so I have a set of tins, two square and two round. Both made out of the exact same thing. When I bake brownies in the square tin, they come out perfect. When I bake them in the round tin, they come out with a weird spongy consistency. Why the heck is that?? I don't know if it's a weird physics problem or... I dunno. It's weird.
Oh and it's not because they're not done. Trust me. They stay all spongy. And I actually mean spongy, not just... falling apart. The tins are pretty much the same size, and the same material and set and stuff.
You are close, yes it's science at it's finest. You're working with a well thought out formula, the ingredients AND the vessel that it will be cooked/baked in. Surface to mass ratio is thrown off when you changed the vessel, there are more square inches in a square then a round. If you can calculate the surface area of the square pan then you can choose the right size of a round pan to accommodate the recipe and the formula. Science, pure science
