@thomasaelliott The two square pans are packaged together. If Meh sold them separately, they would have to separate them and repackage them for individual sale.
The hard part of repackaging is getting all of the safety labels right. Something bad happens when the pan gets to hot. What? With Teflon/PTFE pans, not only did the nonstick coating stop working when the pans got too hot, but it killed any birds in the house. These are PTFE free, so if they kill birds, it will be with a different mechanism.
Review says the brownie one sliced someone’s finger clean open (with a photo, on amazon). Perfect to give to an enemy, meh can’t resist selling a knife!
I bought the black friday 10" copper frying pan knock off at macy’s for $8. Works pretty good. Can’t imagine why you would need 2 brownie pans or 2 square pans though. I mix and match set would be better.
@therealjrn This made me laugh. Unfortunately, it was while I was attempting to drink a cup of coffee and now everything is gonna smell like coffee for awhile.
I’d be afraid of copper leaching into the food. No adequate studies on it yet. - Increased levels of copper may cause a decrease in levels of zinc in the blood, triggering hyperactivity, skin problems and depression in some people. When wearing copper bracelets for long periods of time, increase your zinc levels by eating pumpkin seeds and oysters or by taking zinc supplements daily.
@katbyter Odds are you are exactly right, and making the mistake with the cooking spray makes sticking even worse. You know those Oh, crap! What have I done?! moments? Yeah. Learned the hard way to pay attention to what I was doing in the kitchen.
Why in the heck can you only buy two of either one instead of one of each? I clicked the buy button but I don’t need two square skillets with no lids and I can’t see myself having the need to make two pans of brownies at the same time at any point in my life. With your shitacular shipping they won’t be here until next month so I can’t even give the other one as a Christmas gift!
Was actually looking at these as some potentially cheap pan replacements over on morningsave to make use of the 20% off coupon. Surprised it’s actually cheaper over there. Both two packs for $39. The main reason I didn’t buy was due to getting two of the brownie pans. I would never be making that many brownies that I would need a second pan, so it’s just a wasted extra that I’d end up giving away most likely.
@wilstev That’s funny, I looked at that pack yesterday but didn’t get it because I would never use the square fry pans…I’m still not sold on the gimmicky brownie pans.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@therealjrn@wilstev I have several Wilton fancy cake pans. One that makes a cake in the shape of a rose, another that makes one in the shape of a castle. I make the castle one with white confetti cake in the summer and set it on a bed of light brown sugar as a sand castle. But the one that gets the most wows is the checkerboard cake.
@moondrake@therealjrn@wilstev - I have the rose & the castle baking pans, & love them both … but how the heck do you make this extremely fabulous looking cake? Please share.
On the last picture there’s a distinctly, uh, let’s call it “herbal” ingredient behind the pan of sliced of brownies. So good job, Meh photoshoppers! ISWYDT.
I can’t find it again, but someone posted a comment about removing the brownies. Two words. Parchment paper. I love it, sometimes beautifully on everything I’ve tried. Im on the keto diet and I plan to the brownie pans for everything from quiche-type muffins to cheese crackers. Wish me luck.
I love that apparently it’s SOOOO hard to rail a spatula through a 9x13 pan of brownies to cut them up that someone is willing to spend an extra 10 minutes fucking with this Rube Goldberg contraption for poorer end results.
And then clean up after it.
Meh could knock the zero off that price and I still wouldn’t wasted the cabinet space on these things.
@Pufferfishy I think the idea is not to save on cutting up the brownies, but that each will have finished edges on all four sides. That’s not something I care about, but if I was doing bake sales on a regular basis I would.
@Pufferfishy I wavered quite a bit on spending a Jackson on these. I thought they were quite a bit gimmicky. But thanks to @moondrake turning my pretty little head with her checkerboard cake, my heart is filled with dreams of checkerboard sheet cakes.
@Pufferfishy@therealjrn Interesting plan. If you alternated and stacked layers you’d end up with a really big checkerboard cake. You’ll have to post pictures.
@moondrake@Pufferfishy@therealjrn I just watched an episode of Nailed It where they were supposed to make checkerboard/plaid cakes. They mostly failed.
/youtube checkerboard sheet cake how to
You can make the checkerboard rounds without the special insert. Just get two round cutters to make the spacing.
@RiotDemon IANABaker - but this doesn’t seem like it should be that hard to do. Make a couple pan cakes, cut them into bars, assemble.
Am I missing something??? The examples provided see to be working really hard at what seems a simple concept. (not to mention it clearly helps knowing how to bake a cake without ruining it before it’s even out of the pan)
@Pufferfishy meh. I didn’t watch the video. I assumed she did it the way you described. Her way was too complicated. Plus, I could barely tell the difference in her two different greens and browns.

why not one brownie pan and one square pan? i dont need 2 of either, but 1 of each would be more useful.

@hamjudo i understand.
I prefer copper copper rather than red copper.
@norman8 I prefer a lady copper with red hair and handcuffs.
/giphy redhead lady copper
@OnionSoup Oh god oh god oh god what was that from??
American Horror Story, I think?
@rprussell yes. Murder house.
Good luck getting any brownies out of that pan.
@katbyter The dividers appear to be removable.
@tmilker I meant they will stick. No matter how much you spray it.

Edit: skip to 5:20 or so.
@RiotDemon so that’s what that red stand is for! He burned those brownies! And some here have said don’t use spray, and no dishwasher. Strike three!
you couldn’t do one of each?
@alacrity The two square pans are a set of two different sizes. And they’re trying to get rid of the brownie pans, because they won’t sell.
Review says the brownie one sliced someone’s finger clean open (with a photo, on amazon). Perfect to give to an enemy, meh can’t resist selling a knife!
Hmm… is this a pantastic deal or not?

What’s a brownie stand?
@katbyter As much as she can until those pesky Bluebirds cross the line.
@therealjrn This made me laugh. Unfortunately, it was while I was attempting to drink a cup of coffee and now everything is gonna smell like coffee for awhile.
@katbyter @therealjrn Ha!
Has anybody asked why meh won’t just sell a pack of one of each type?
@therealjrn because that might actually sell the items out
Casual jar of pot in the last photo
@ryan18_ isn’t pot usually casual?
@ryan18_ that’s what meh is selling on their site on the dark web today.
Is anyone gonna talk about the special brownies pic? Aye aye??
Does the pot come with those pans !?!
I’d be cool with two square pans, but as usual, I’m broke. I’m a Meh deadbeat.
@Pony Use a credit card and worry about it next month.
@ponagathos I don’t have a credit card.
@ponagathos @Pony you could always sell your soul to satan.
@OnionSoup @ponagathos @Pony I don’t buy souls anymore. People are to willing to give them away these days.
@OnionSoup @ponagathos @yakkoTDI yeah… I don’t want them that bad. I’d be willing to trade a chicken, maybe.
You lost me at “handwash only”
If I had meh pop sockets I could buy these to make celebration brownies but nope.
I noticed the “as seen on TV” logo on the pans. Time to go look for some catshirts instead, I guess.
@narfcake I don’t think there are any catshirts on TV narf.
@therealjrn Actually, I do have some
dust ragsshirts on top my TV.Also:
@therealjrn A cat can make anything look comfy.
@narfcake @therealjrn Yay plasma!

I wAnted the brownie pans not the square
@francies40 I see you were able to successfully cancel and reorder for the brownie pans. Enjoy!
you would be selling a lot more if you sold them as sets of one each…

@Felyne they aren’t made of copper, just copper colored.
@Felyne @RiotDemon So now you just need to find some zinc colored supplements to take daily.
/image meager-crappy-arm
o gawd what did I do?
Funny, the google search turned up a baseball pitcher.
If you buy these things DO NOT EVER APPLY COOKING SPRAY TO THE PAN! If you do, anything & everything will stick.
Forever.
@LaVikinga I think it’s just the pan. Mine sticks and I’ve never put spray in it.
@katbyter Odds are you are exactly right, and making the mistake with the cooking spray makes sticking even worse. You know those Oh, crap! What have I done?! moments? Yeah. Learned the hard way to pay attention to what I was doing in the kitchen.

@moondrake @scfd0766 @therealjrn @wilstev
If you slice the cake across the top, it looks like a Target logo.
There are 3 circular metal pans with plastic dividers.
Put the plastic dividers in each pan, pour different batters into each section. Remove the dividers immediately before placing into the oven.
My wife has a set and played with mixing food dyes. She made a cake with 9 distinct colors.
@scfd0766 @therealjrn @wilstev Pretty easy, really.
Any time I see these brownie pans or the all edge brownie pan, there’s always a suggestion to use a muffin tin.
Always forget to try it, but I also rarely make brownies.
The even sizes of these brownies pleases me.
What? A brownie pan? You guys really should re-release this deal on April 20th.
On the last picture there’s a distinctly, uh, let’s call it “herbal” ingredient behind the pan of sliced of brownies. So good job, Meh photoshoppers! ISWYDT.
I guess someone decided offering a one-of-each option wouldn’t have moved the merch fast enough. Meh.
I thought it was a fry pan and an ice cube maker…
@werekong they can be… the only limit is your imagination
@indiebass It would take a lot of imagination to get the ice cubes out…
I can’t find it again, but someone posted a comment about removing the brownies. Two words. Parchment paper. I love it, sometimes beautifully on everything I’ve tried. Im on the keto diet and I plan to the brownie pans for everything from quiche-type muffins to cheese crackers. Wish me luck.
Copper infused, you say? Ah, HELL nah.
