I loved my De'Longhi. It would cook anything. It was at least 10 yrs old. I baked on 325, but you can play with the temp

I used convection oven and the cookie or cake recipe temp. The baked items will cook slightly faster, so keep your eye on them. I used the "on" setting and set a separate timer.

The baking feature is only used without the timer. You turn it on or off. The timer is only used for toasting.

I have, once. Haven' t quite figured out right temp/ cooking time. But I am happy to have bought a 6 inch, since most of time I only bake for 2 people. I'll soon try another cheese cake. Form cleans up niceley.

the heat can be very hot if you give the oven direct touches after baking. i suggest waiting a few minutes. always remember to unplug!!

Erik, per the manual and my experience using the oven, the maximum temperature for baking is 450 degrees and can be adjusted downward in 25 degree increments. Lowest temperature that I have seen is 175 degrees on the Keep Warm setting. The Broil function has a FIXED temperature of 500 degrees. It is the default temperature setting for Broil and cannot be adjusted within that function. I hope this helps.

Elevation and gas/electric ovens can make a difference in how it bakes up. This is usually pretty good, but I do like the devils food better. I found it to be a tiny bit crumbly, but started subbing coconut oil for butter and fruit juice for water and it is maybe too moist! Experiment with it. :)

I've never baked any kind of pastries in mine so I can't help you with that. Did you read the recipe book that came with the unit?

Hi! There aren't any recipes printed on the box, but there are several different roll-out cookie recipes available on their website: fredandfriends.com/blog/cookies I'm not sure if store-bought sugar cookies would work well or not -- try it and see! :) I usually make my doughs from scratch using recipes from Wilton, Joy of Cooking, etc. Hope this helps.

Try adjusting the amount of flour....reduce by 1/4 cup max. It could be your oven temperature and/or the amount of time your cake bakes. I doubt very much if is due to the mixer..and possibly an adjustment in the amount f liquid/flour will solve the problem. I assume you are speaking of cakes you make from scratch. If so, try a 'box' cake mix and see if you have the same problem. Interesting dilemma !

There is no 'warm' setting. You'd have to use trial-and-error to find what settings (and pans) work for you.

I'm finding that my cakes are getting done more quickly, so I'm testing a few minutes before the suggested finish time. Maybe lowering the temp by 25 degrees would have the same result.

Did you use Swans Down Cake flour, if not I think it is under cooked and too much oil. I always use butter or Crisco vegetable oil. Some times the temp. of you oven can cause this also. I had this happen to me with a new pan which was heavier than the one I normally use, the next time I used the pan I lower the heat from 350 to 325 and it came out okay. Hope this will be of some help to you.

Be careful how long you bake the cake. That could be why it is dry for you. I really like this cake.

So sorry. I haven't used it as yet. Will be using it to bake for Xmas. Will let you know then.

I have not used this particular pan in the oven, but I do have a silicone cake pan which can be used up to 400 degrees. It seems to bake a bit faster so I check on doneness earlier than the recipe calls for.

I have used glass to cook in it. Usually brownies and baking at normal temps like 325-350. Brownies turn out great!!!
