This is what I did when I baked a full pan this morning: I greased and
floured well the bottom of the pan and maybe 3/4" up the sides. No
parchment, no waxed, no paper. I baked the brownies and let them cool
on a rack for about 30 minutes. I put a cooling rack over the top,
inverted the pan (now the rack is on the bottom) and gave a little whack
on the cutting board and the brownies *fell out perfectly in one big
slab.* I turned them upright using another rack and life was swell at
Casa Schaller'ova.

I cut them with a bench knife and sent a plateful with the tv lady and
her cameraman who had just spent a couple hours with me (it might end up
to be 45-90 seconds on air -- this stuff cracks me up).
