Brownies are one of the tastiest things to make, but how do you know when they're done baking? You don't want to overcook the brownies or they'll dry out; if you undercook them, they might be too raw in the middle. Fortunately, there are several reliable ways to tell when brownies are done. Read through our list of things to look for and you'll be rewarded with perfectly cooked brownies!
Things You Should Know
- Look for sides that pull away, tap the top to feel if the brownies are firm, and look for a few cracks to tell if your brownies are done.
- Insert a toothpick to see if the brownies are underdone, fudgy, or overbaked based on how many crumbs cling to the tester.
- Stick a thermometer into the brownies to ensure that they've reached 165 °F (74 °C) and are safe to eat.
