yes for the record, you CAN just throw the pot into the brownie mi the brownies just won't be very moist. its best to make them from scratch and adjust the recipe for the pot.
melting the butter and putting the pot in that is a good method. melt butter, take butter off of heat then place in pot, otherwise you could burn it up and it would be useless.
