Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, and grease a tray or lay down greaseproof paper. The tray should be around 28cm by 17cm, and be about 3cm deep at least. Although, you can change these dimensions based on how thin, thick or deep you would like your brownies. This tray I use creates semi-deep brownies.
