Do you need to grease the pan when making brownies?

It depends!

Here's the breakdown:

* Metal pans: Yes, you usually need to grease and flour metal pans. This helps the brownies release easily and prevents them from sticking.

* Silicone pans: You generally don't need to grease silicone pans. They have a non-stick surface that works well for brownies.

* Glass pans: You can grease and flour glass pans, but it's not always necessary. If you have a good quality glass pan, it might be okay to skip the grease. Just be sure to check if the brownies are sticking before trying to remove them.

Tips for greasing and flouring:

* Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.

* Use all-purpose flour for greasing and flouring.

* Use a paper towel to spread the grease and flour evenly.

* You can also spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Ultimately, the best way to determine if you need to grease your pan is to check your recipe. Most recipes will specify whether or not to grease the pan.
