Which item is cooked at 290 degrees?

• A. Brownies
• B. Bacon
• C. Brioche Bun
• D. Nibbler

Answer: (A)

Brownies are baked at a lower oven temperature to keep the center fudgy and avoid overbrowning the edges. A setting around 290°F gives enough time for the dense batter to cook through evenly, which is why this item is the best match for that temperature. The other foods usually need hotter heat to develop their textures: brioche buns bake at higher temps to form a light, browned crust; bacon is cooked in hot pans or fryers to render fat and crisp quickly; and the Nibbler is typically fried in oil at a high temperature. So the brownies fit the 290-degree setting.
