Random Vent

Jim&Jaime

I brought brownies over to my MIL's on Saturday. They were still warm when we were leaving, so I left them in the pan. I just realized that she cut them in my non-stick pan, so now there are deep scratches in my previously unmarred pan. I'm annoyed, but it's not like I can say anything about it. So, I'll vent it here.

All of my non-stick pans are scratched to sh!t because DH doesn't know there's difference between a metal spatula and plastic spatula.

And I won't say anything even in jest, 'cause know she'd feel like crab about it and go buy me a new one. She's great.

Oh goodness, my husband would have LOVED those!  Can I get you to share the recipe?

Ugh that stinks.

That sucks. I'd be annoyed, too. DH's brother house-sat for us a few months ago and scratched the poo out of my brand-new nonstick skillet.

Just curious, though, how were they supposed to cut the brownies to avoid the scratches?

<--- THIS. I don't know how many times I've told him not to take a knife to it. And DH wonders why I want all our kitchen utensils in plastic or wood.

Sorry about your pan.  That is why I bake brownies in glass pans, I have no clue how to cut them in a non-stick pan without destroying the pan.  I made sheet cake once and couldn't figure out a way to slice it without scratching the baking sheet.  What's the secret?

The best way I learned (after I scratched my pan) is to put a sheet of parchment under and leave an overhang. Then you can just lift the brownies out and cut them on a board.

My ILs would seriously side-eye me if I tried that, smart as it is. They already think my food choices/habits are pretty foo-foo and fussy.

I saw on pinterest that the best way to cut brownies so that the edges don't tear is to use a plastic knife. Doing so would give you pretty brownies and a scratch free pan.

I brought a serving platter, so I was going to wedge them out with a spatula then cut. I also figured they might flip out once they cooled.

I have a great silicone knife from Pampered Chef that works on nonstick perfectly.
