Red food color in a bottle can usually be found in the spice section of the grocery store. It’s designed to give a bold red color to desserts.

A plastic knife works great for cutting the brownies. Just use a short sawing motion.

Lining the pan with a long sheet of foil that hangs over the edges makes the brownies easy to remove from the pan. Just spray the foil before adding the batter.
