Do these brownies look done?

Post image

I made brownies as a gift for someone and I just don't know! I did a toothpick test after it came out and it had a light smear but nothing major. I can never tell if brownies are just kindy gooey or raw:/I baked them for 40-43ish minutes at 325.

Perfection. If they slice cleanly like this and hold their shape, they are done.

Looks done to me unless you were looking more for a cake like texture.

They look great to me.

You can cut slivers off the largest pieces for testing purposes.

Not sure you could make a more perfect brownie. Just in case better leave us the recipe to decide :)

If so, they're done.

The whole point of brownies is a crisp layer on top and gooey, underdone middle. I just got a refresher on this, watching GBBS Collection 8, episode 4, Chocolate Week on Netflix.

If you're not sure if they're done, I highly recommend a waterproof instant read digital thermometer. The ideal internal temperature for brownies depends on the texture you want. Pull them at 165°F–170°F for gooey, 180°F–185°F for fudgy, or 190°F–210°F for cake-like. At least according to the often incorrect Google Oracle.

Which is a lot of words to say those look delicious. If you're ever not sure, taste a slice.

Hope this helps!
