How do you get a brownie?

Either refrigerate the entire pan thoroughly or freeze lightly for about 1/2 hour, or cool your brownies. Once the fat in the brownies solidifies, they will be easy to cut cleanly. Just don't try to cut them if you over-freeze them (if they are rock-hard); leave them out until they are just barely soft enough to cut. You can also cut them with a plastic knife. Make sure the pan is greased or lined with parchment paper before you bake the brownies.
