Q.U.I.C.K E.M.E.R.G.E.N.C.Y Question about cooking brownies HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Ok so I know that they are supposed to look a bit 'undone' when cooked.

But these are positively runny.

What shall I do?

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

Take them out?

5 more minutes?

are they set in any part?

Yes all round the edge, but th centre is ruuny.

If it is set around the edges but it wobbles slightly in the middle when you move it, they can come out, but if they move all over, they need longer. How long have the been in?

2 more mins then check again.

top should lighten a little and crack

30 mins at gas 4.

Very wobbly in the middle?

Dammit the ingredients very expensive, don't want to bugger them up.

recipe says 25 mins.....

Going to check for cracking......

No cracking, have had nearly 35 mins now.

50 minutes, still not cooked?

Because they have melted real choc and butter, they will set as they cool.....the eggy bit will deffo be cooked after 35.
Are they ok?
Let us know?

Ok have taken them out, after an hour.

Hope they arer ok, panicing slightly.

Are you sure your oven is working? It shouldn't take that much more than recommended in the recipe. I know I always add 10 mins to every recipe I use but that's becasue my oven is dreadful.

don't panic though - they will be delicious, cooked or not. If, somehow, they haven't set by the time they are cool, it will be fantastic on ice cream [looking on he brightside emoticon]

Despite Cadbury's 'dreadful' oven, she does indeed make the best cakes in it! An expert in brownie making!

What about overcooked?

As I think they are.

Damn.

No still liquid in the middle.

Oh well.

How very most peculiar,that is unbelievable - after that long..

mmmmmm can i have one? i love undercooked cake. all puddingy and gooey.
put in large bowl with loads of cream.

aaahhhh. heaven - almost orgasmic salivating deliciousness.

have you left them to cool in the tin?

My guess would be your oven, or maybe the mixture was too runny.

What recipe were you using?

are they edible?

i won't make you jealous, will i, if i tell you mine have just turned out perfick (as usual)

soggy brownie mix makes a good filling for a Victoria Sponge cake .. alongside whipped cream of course

too many eggs?

too much fat? what sort of choc have you used? they will prob set but might be greasy.

The recipe was

7oz butter melted
6 heaped tbsp coca mixed in

4 eggs whisked, plus 14 oz caster sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract

then 4oz flour and 14 oz walnuts.

I put them in the fridge overnight, and they kind of set but are very gooey.

On the plus side they are possibly the nicest brownies I have ever eaten, and I would deff. continue to use this, over my old recipe.

Just have to tweak the cooking bit, maybe I will try a shallower tin.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my major panic you are all very fab and lovely.
