can you bake in this like an oven?

When I was a child, I remember my family baking cakes, turkeys and other items in our Westinghouse roaster, especially during holidays when extra oven space was needed. It's basically like a top-door oven rather than a front-door oven.

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

Yes. It is an oven. I bought it to cook turkeys in at Thanksgiving. It is basically a portable, extra oven. I really like it. The only down side is you have to have space to store it when not in use.

Yes you can use it like an oven. The brochure tells you how to use it as an oven. You can bake cakes and just about anything else. I love mine.

We use this at work a lot. With only one staff microwave, potlucks were difficult to manage until we started using this and other roasters people have and would bring in to ....(1) to heat up dishes for potlucks; (2) to bake dishes in aluminum pans, for example, lasagna from Costco; (3) baked foil wrapped potatoes for a baked potato pot luck. My neighbor did this also for a Christmas dinner 28 people were attending. One of my favorite things to prepare in this is a brisket. Yummmmy!

Yes you can we have done turkeys and chickens in this and they have come out great.

I have only used (and very successfully!) for turkeys at the holidays...have not attempted any actual baking in it.

We have used the roaster oven on constant occasions, to date we have been more than satisfied. Our roasted chickens always turn out perfect, so by all means be creative and consider the oven waiting to prove its worth.

YES, I use mine in the oven all the time. I cook at 350* so hope this helps...

Yes, you can bake just about anything it. It's basically a round cooking sheet that heavier than a standing baking sheet.

Absolutely! I use mine all the time. I love to bake so it really gets a workout. Enjoy.

It works like any oven. I use it to bake chicken. I like the digital temp reading so you know when the temperature you want is reached. I enjoy ours very much.

Although I have never used them to bake in, I would think that it'd be fine to bake in them. They take a lot of heat in the frying pan so why not in the oven?

Yes, you can use it in your oven, but you should pot it on the lowest level of heat in your oven. For example, my oven has 9 levels of heat, and I use level 2 when I cook in tagine.

I wouldn't do it in the oven. The pan comes with a very thin "plastic" like coating on the handle and it might get damaged or something. It's very easy to season on the stove top. I use mine almost every day for pancakes, eggs, french toast, grilled cheese etc....

No. This is like cooking on a screen. Anything that needs to solidify by baking would melt right through the large holes in this screen. This is like a Teflon coated wire fencing.

I haven't tried it. However, since you have two liners it probably wouldn't hurt to try one at a moderate temp. in your oven. I LOVE this little oven. Mary Lou

Yes it is like a normal oven. just quicker. the best part is that by the time your oven preheats the cookies are already done.

I suppose you could, but I think the process would be too slow, considering that microwave heats it in 3-4 minutes ,max. Also, I have no idea what oven heat you would use

I have not used in oven but if need be I would. I see no reason other than oven size limitations.

Certainly, just be sure to have in the oven when you turn it on to preheat!

You can, but first spray the interior with a cooking spray. They get VERY HOT when baking, so use care when handling. They will also get a bit darker but that will not effect their performance. All that said, there are better tools for baking a round shape like this, like a ramekin, for example.

I would not recommend it, better yet, you should not do it!!! In your oven, the heat from the element under the bottom has to radiate freely upward. The lining would "insulate" it and would probably be destroyed, being heated too much.

I know it can be built in and you can buy a trim kit. The problem is the heat generated if you use the conventional oven at the same time as you use this oven
