Yesterday Wendy made nian gao for dessert to follow a night of hotpot. As we bit into the chewy-soft goodness, we noticed there were a disproportionate amount of edge pieces. Turns out it's because she used this ingenious device our old roomie Teresa gave her, otherwise known as an edge brownie pan. It's designed especially for people who are always fighting for edge pieces which tend to be chewy and crisp, rather than ooey, gooey and somewhat shapeless. I just looked it up online and found one on amazon. It's just brilliant. Thanks to Wendy for the recco, and Teresa for finding it in the first place =)
