Baker's Edge Brownie Pan
Who would have thought brownies could get any better? For edge-lovers like Oprah, the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan is the item you've been waiting for. The pan's patented sidewalls add two chewy edges to each brownie, and the single-chamber design allows batter to be spread easily and settle evenly throughout baking—so every serving will be baked to perfection.

Baker's Edge Lasagna Pan
Nothing is more satisfying than a homemade, fresh-from-the-oven lasagna—until the first few servings are removed. Then, the layers slump and the noodles slide all over the pan. Baker's Edge Lasagna Pan puts an end to all of that with its unique sidewalls, which keep noodles and layers neatly stacked, no matter what. It's also sized to fit standard lasagna noodles and is designed so more heat circulates to the pan's middle, where food typically takes longer to bake.
