Any Home Bakers Here?

Update on the cheesecake I made yesterday...

The taste is great and I liked it. DH liked the taste but thought it was too 'creamy'. I don't get it.

Somehow I think we'll manage to finish off what's left regardless

I get requests now!
I have a little convection oven in my office and have baked caramel rolls in it before. I have been asked to bake some again before christmas

@ronott1
A little convection oven. What kind do you have there?

The one at work is an Oster that fits 9x13 pans it they do not have large tops.

At home I have a similar sized breville

Your kitchen was beautiful...all that open space, cabinetry and counters. No comparison to your work of course, but when we put some cabinets in this tiny house, DH made me a skinny little place for my baking sheets, racks, etc. Things like that are so helpful.

Doesn't it just figure that a non-cook would end up with a kitchen like the one you did? Kills me when I watch those house finder shows and the buyers want a gourmet kitchen...to eat their take out in

I would LOVE a kitchen like the one rjohns did. Ours is nice enough, but it's smaller and not as open. It's funny, after we bought our house and were moving in, I discovered something none of us had noticed when we looked at the house - there is a huge lazy Susan built into the cabinets! It is so nice and incredibly handy. I don't know how we missed it when looking at the house! lol.

When I get my stove, maybe I'll consider one of those rather than a second oven. I don't like the ones that have the main oven at the bottom.

For any of you Instant Pot users, is this post true? I am referring to the part about the hard boiled eggs.

I got an Instant Pot a couple weeks ago Bob but only used it twice so far, none for eggs. I just looked in the recipe book that came with it and don't see where they talk about hard boiled eggs.

Maybe someone else here that uses one can say?

That little oven is great in the Summer because it does not heat up the house as much. I can bake pies and cookies on smaller trays. I baked the pies for thanks giving along with the Brussels sprouts. It is a nice little oven

Thanks for the review. It's sounding better and better!

Do you know the specific model number you have? I've looked on Amazon and seen lots of different ones but only found one so far that has 2 racks and fits a 13x9.

I bet you're saving on electricity by using the smaller oven too?

Yes! The big Oven is Gas and Gas is more expensive for us in the summer. The smaller oven helps with the Electric because of the AC bill.

Woodland gets over 100 for a high for 20 or so days each summer. A cool day is in the 90s for a high here.

Both of these are big. The one on the left I had at home until I bought the breville. The one on the right is at work.
