definitely a problem with the oven, but I've also had problems with stuff not curing - can't win
last night I had scorching, the time before I had to double-bake cos it wasn't cured, AArrrgh! I'm thinking of buying a toaster oven and an oven thermometer . . .

ooo, that all sounds very exciting Anubis, i can't wait to see.
I had a look for the ovens @ Countdown, all I could find was a toaster oven for $25. Don't know how reliable it would be.

I think it needs to bake and toasters grill
the other I saw looked like a big glass pot

yeah, that's what I thought.
er, actually, I think the toaster oven did have a bake function, but still . . .
are convection ovens pretty much the same as the ezycook ovens Noel Leeming are advertising on TV?

Post by fantail on May 7, 2008 14:55:51 GMT 12
yes some of the toaster ovens do have a baking option
I have no idea
anybody?
best is to check
I never even considered the round ones before Lindi mentioned them

Quite a few in the States use them and swear by them. Everytime Countdown have them for sale I miss out, I think they know what week mortgage and insurance gets paid  Twice now that has happened but I will get them next time  The easycook is the same thing but a bit more moneys. |
