Brownie Pans - Baker's Edge Brownie Pan & Chicago Metallic

I am a corner-slice girl when it comes to cakes and brownies and anything else that's cut into squares or rectangles. That's where all the action is - the lovely crust and the nice crumbly edges of the brownie, or the frosting on the cake, the main point of it all!

I think Baker's Edge came across this detail sometime and decided to do something this. Check out their "Edge lovers' brownie pan" that is such genius!

Don't think brownies are the only things you can bake in these because lasagne is fair game too!

The Chicago Metallic brownie pans are quite dreamy too. The advantage is, you can remove the dividers and use this as a square pan for baking and with dividers, you can an edge in every slice be it for brownies, cookies, cakes, bread, anything!

The Chicago Metallic lift and serve single square pan is interesting too, because you can remove the base and lift out your single serving of brownies, cakes, etc.

Oh God, I want them all!

Measuring Cups Mania

Thanks to Durga who persistently asked me for measuring cups information, now I have a post on it! MMKT is all about fulfilling your kitchen needs. Or something like that.

Anyway, here's what Mriganayani uses.

In her words, "My measuring spoons and cups - these are a must for baking - but I love the colors in this and also that they can be bunched up together and stored so that they don't just disappear like a lot of my other measuring cups!"

Cost - 12 USD for both the sets

Reema has pretty green ones, check them out!

She says "These come with the universal standards embossed on them - 1, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 cup. They are super easy to use and I havent taken their tag off because it helps me keep them together. Imagine not finding one of them when you need it! The brand is Ebano, which is possibly why they seem a bit pricey but they are heat-proof so it is okay to dunk them into stuff that is hot."

Where? Hypercity, Inorbit Mall, Hyderabad

Price? 170 INR

Sailu has pretty ones from Ikea. I have the ones on the left because.. well.. they are from measuring cups from Ikea! Check them out. 

 

In Sailu's words, "the red measuring cups and spoons you see above are standard American measurement from IKEA. I use the cups for both Indian cooking and baking while I use the spoons only for baking which requires precise measurement. They are convenient to store requiring less storage space and have the measurements embossed on the handles."


Where? IKEA
Price? Around 8 USD for both

Now lets dream, shall we? 2 Measuring cup sets from my wishlist. 

The beautiful cups that Nigella Lawson uses in her videos, they are simple, handy and come in gorgeous colours. 


Price: USD 18 - USD 25















My absolute drool-list has these measuring cups from Anthropologie.

Price and other details are here.

So, what do you measure with?

Sophie Dahl's New Cookbook - Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights

I am starting a new section very unoriginally called 'The Wishlist' where I will be putting down Kitchen Things that are on my wishlist and stuff that I am nearly obsessing about. This is the first such post. 

I read about Sophie Dahl's new cookbook here first and its been in my head ever since. Sophie Dahl caught my attention when she was in the "news" some time back. Until then, I didn't even know there were plus-sized models. But it makes sense right? If you have branded plus-sized clothes, then of course they would have models for that..

Anyway, Sophie Dahl wants to be known more for her writing and her cooking shows and with this book, it seems like she is getting her wish. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Roald Dahl's granddaughter writes well but cooking, well, that's definitely a "plus" ;)

Her new cookbook - Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights - features some English desserts that I would love to try and I am getting a copy as soon as I can lay my hands on one. The reviews look great and I have always been a sucker for cookbooks that are not just recipes but have little stories and tidbits here and there.

Will post more about the recipes and the book once I get my copy!
