Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

This is useless. There’s no universal recipe for brownies and no control brownie is shown based on their supposed ideal.

Pretty much doing on r/coolguides is useless. It's one of the worst subs on the site

Lemme see the Goldilocks one too, for comparison

It looks the same as the too much butter, too little sugar, too much sugar, and too little butter ones.

The only one that even looks like a problem to me is the bottom center one.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

No such thing as too much butter. 😛

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Too much butter and too little butter looking the exact same

No egg is some trypophobia shit.

Also every other tip has “not enough” or “too much” but baking soda has no clarifier

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they mean baking soda vs powder for the default

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, if you're not going to eat them...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The extra egg one looks the best, but I mean... I can't see the cross section or taste it. What's wrong with it? There's gotta be something wrong with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I made brownies from a box mix the other day that said to add an extra egg for more "cake-like" texture. The edges looked like the extra egg example, but overall it looked like the baking soda example. 🤷 Just tasted like brownies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Too much sugar looks delightful.

Adam Ragusea has a good video on how to achieve that classic brownie crust
