Double Batch Brownies

Carissa prepares a double batch of brownies in the Thermador Jet Direct Oven. This oven was only on the market for a year or so. One of my former students did the recipe development for them and lead the deomonstration team. It is a great oven. It cooks the double batch in twn minutes. It is a compresssed convection and microwave combination. Unfortunatly it was very complex and expensive to manufacture and consumers balked at the $7,000 price tag and it was eventually pulled from the market.
