How hot will the oven get temperature-wise?

When I used this solar oven last summer in Idaho, it stayed steady at 255 degrees. We cooked two batches of oatmeal cookies, they took about 45 minutes to cook and were delicious.

The oven gets up to 285 F (140 C). A typical range will be 210 - 250 F (99 - 121 C). This is right in the range of slow-cooking temperatures and hotter than stovetop (at 212 F). Thanks for the question!

This thermometer goes from 100 to 600 degrees. The numbers are sort of small, so it's hard to read when it's in the oven. I purchased the ADMETIOR thermometer, which has larger numbers & I like it much better. Both thermometers show the same temperature in the oven.

I agree with others who say this oven gets very hot, especially the glass door. The housing is all metal and it heats up when the oven is on. It is too hot to touch, so I would say this is not a good choice if that type of heat is a concern. Sorry, because it is such a good item in other respects.

Most non-stick coatings won't survive over 450 degrees or so. I think oven self-clean cycles are at &gt;500 degrees.

What is your question Judy? Are you trying to ask if the oven temperature that I use with the airbake is 500+ ? The answer to the re-phrased question is "YES".

Im not sure about the 800 degrees. I don't know of an oven that even goes that high. I would think that 400 is sufficient for most cooking needs.

Yes. On the bottom of the pans it says "oven saft to 450 Degrees" Hope this helps. Betty

As others have said, you can probably use the metal-corded probe to measure oven temp if it's not touching metal. It doesn't do it concurrently as my old Polder did, however.

My answer is going to be a bit different than what I've read by others. My intent is not to be controversial but to err on the side of caution. Mine sits on a counter top with a space of 10" from the top of the oven to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet. Either side of the oven has at least 6" of space. The bottom sits on the counter top on the units four mounted feet. Broiling a steak, chops, etc. is doing it's job at 500 degrees so if the unit didn't get hot then I doubt it would be doing its job. Naturally heat rises and disperses to the top and to each side. These would be areas I would not choose to touch while it's on for obvious reasons. I've had mine now for nearly a year without any problems. Giving proper attention by allowing the unit to have ventilation above and to each side; you shouldn't have any issues with heat.

Yes, put one probe for measuring the oven temperature near mid-height in oven and the other into the food. Mine showed my oven was was actually 35°F hotter than what was set on the dial and explained why cookies got burned so easily. Adjusted dial, no more burned cookies.

I have this dutch oven and use it mostly for bread making and the temp I use is 475 F and have no problem.

I do not see a problem with that as long as you keep the wind off it. Mine will reach 900 on a hot day, but I have found that 900 is to hot to cook a pizza in this oven. Mine come out good at around 700-800. At 900 I completely burned one up. This oven takes a little practice to get use to baking with it. I believe my review will help you if you buy the proper size peel for this item. I had trouble with my dough raising to much causing it to undercooked in this oven. I have ordered a pizza docker. Which does not pierce the dough, but rather pinches it together like the two side of a quilt. This helps keep the dough from raising to much when baking. Hope this helps you!

The oven does get hot depending on how long you are cooking. I think for a small child it may be a little hot. However, I don't think it gets as hot as some of the other ovens/toaster ovens on the market.

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia

Works beautifully going from stovetop to oven. In the oven, if you have this model with the stainless steel handle, the cover can handle up to 450 degrees. But you can't broil with the cover. Enjoy!

I believe only external temperature. I found out about it because my boyfriend uses it in his work. I use it for room temps (ie. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?) Also, I just moved, and have a new oven, good for checking if the heat is correct, plus, it is just fun to check things (I think anyway).

Are you using a regular home oven for baking? How high can you set the temperature? I'm pretty sure it doesn't go higher than 500-550, which should be fine. I can't imagine baking bread at higher temps than that anyway.
