Can I bake cookies, biscuits etc on it without pre heating the stone? Do you need a rack to take it in and out of oven?

Can't comment on baking but you can take it out of the oven without a rack.

you always have to preheat the stone before baking .You don't need a rack to take it in and out of the oven but it needs to cool first

I use mine for pizza. I preheat it but when I am done and turn off the oven, I generally take it out and clean it the next day once it comes down to room temperature. I do not use a rack.

It says you can. I have never tried using it for baking. For roasting and slow cooking it is terrific.

Have baked biscuits and muffins using round metal cake pan and rack provided with oven. Definitely not a piece of "crap." I'd give it 4 stars and use it almost every day.

Yes, cookies really stick to the cookie sheet and don't bake evenly. You will definitely need parchment or something.

oven use should be fine. other suggestions for using a paddle to slide dough onto stone is probably best way to go about it, but since i don't have one, i just carefully lay the dough (that i've already shaped into a rectangle) on the pre-heated stone (corn meal down first) and then put on the sauce, toppings, cheese, etc.

Yes you can bake anything in the oven if the pan fits. Its great for all sorts of baking when you don't want to say heat up a full oven to make 4 biscuits for example. I hope this helps. Frank

As long as the oven takes to preheat. You keep the stone in the oven and when your ready to use it you already have it in the oven when you go to preheat the oven. Hope that helps.

Not in this model. you could "toast" and set to a temp, but bake always is convection.

No. You can NOT put it the oven, it is for rolling your dough. It is rubbery on the backside so it doesn't slide around on the counter and smooth on the front side so your dough doesn't stick much. Very similar to my old Tupperware one I had for 20+ yrs.

Yes, you can bake w/ it. Since I haven't actually done it myself, I don't know whether you'd have to do anything differently.

Yes. We put just the stone in the oven when we first turn it on so it preheats with the oven.

You can heat the crap out of it with no worries. I preheat mine for 3 hours in an outdoor Viking and get over 1,000 degrees F on the stone. Your oven won't phase this thing.

I remove the racks. When baking you use the racks just like you would in your oven, except because it is convection you can bake on both racks at the same time. Baking is done on the racks (Think like it's an oven, you would not bake on the oven floor). The turn table can be turned off so it does not rotate. What is nice about the turn table is it does not need to be changed (or removed) because it works on Micro or Convection: It is ceramic. You can't go wrong with this one. Lots of room in it & turn table bigger the others (the size of a large pizza). Do some more research on how to cook & Bake in a Convection Oven (this is just one fast reference; http://www.cadco-ltd.com/convectioncook.html) The unit does come with a recipe booklet too. I personal LOVE convection & use it only. It took a while to learn how to convert & get the best results but well worth it. I now use it 80% of the time. Any other question or if you'd like more info on cooking/baking with convection I'll be glad to help.

Although I typically preheat the dome before putting the risen dough in it, I imagine you can let the dough rise in it. I also have a rectangular one that is not coated and I rise the dough in it before baking it.

Here is a quote from the instruction manual to answer your question: "Baked goods like cakes and breads can also be prepared using the Roast function. An 8-inch round or square pan or a loaf pan fits well on top of the roasting rack. For baking, the roasting temperature should be set the same as you would your oven." I personally have not tried it, however.

We just have a lot of flour on the bottom of the crust. Plus, make sure you let your oven heat to stones for quite a while after the oven is done preheating. Even though the oven may say it is too temp, the stones will not be. I let it go for at least 15 mins after the preheating is done.
