Finally found a task this amazing little oven does not do well... We have tried to bake Pecan Pies &amp; they always get severely carmelized (burnt) before done. Has anyone else found a workaround? (otherwise an expert @ pecan pie!)

Cover the pie for half the cooking time. I've baked several pies and found this worked beautifully. The problem with all toaster ovens is that the coils are too close to item you are baking.

I just placed an order for the front top heater (ABA80-17500U), through encompass parts. Says it's not in stock and will ship first week in November. We'll see what happens! My bulb is actually broken. Not even sure how this happened but my waffles are not browning. They're warm and edible but don't have that brown crust that I like to see. And honestly I have no idea why I need to see that! Wish me luck. I'll let you know what happens!

I didn't bake mine. I use it strictly for display. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Dear Amazon Consumer,Thank you for your interest in the Cake Boss Bake ware.May I also suggest you use the middle shelf in the oven.Please keep in mind that each oven is different, though you adjusted the temperature, you may also need to adjust the length of time you allow to bake. Or perhaps lower the temperature another degrees. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you.Kind Regards,Audrey Consumer Relations

I had same problem. Sat it on a cookie sheet mid baking when I began to see the overflow into the hole, and then had to do some cutting off of the "extra" when it was finished. Not so great... I actually did one with less batter and didn't get all of the details of the last inch like you noted, so I just piped icing around the entire thing to look like "snow". It worked and no one noticed details were missing because the rest of the house is so adorable.

I'm having the same problem with my Breadman TR875. I'm about ready to try my luck with the Dough cycle and completing the loaves in the oven. The bread tastes fine, has great texture, but the gaping holes are just not very pretty and makes it impossible to make sandwiches from the center of the loaf.

Mine broke after about 8 uses. I would send it bake while you have yet chance!!!

I believe I saw something on the box or directions inside the box that say not to use on stove or oven. It's frustrating, as two or three of the pieces look like you can cook with them. I sent a message to Step2, but did not get an answer. Sorry.

Wish I had a frame of reference - only boat I was ever on was the Staten Island Ferry!!But I used the original Avanti for 14 years - able to cook anything - this one they changed and you can only use the top units OR the oven --When I wrote to the company I asked them if they ever heard of "if it isn't broke -- don't fix it" == Just did a 9 chop loin of pork and it was great.Right now I am baking pumpkin pie == it is a quality product -- sorry I can't answer you space question. But enjoy the oven and especially the boat!!Peace & All Good == Happy New Year

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Mine worked fine until I turned the oven cleaner on. Didn't work afterwards.Appeared to have burned out. Says on packing fine for conventional ovens, however, I'm looking for something else.

Thanks! for confirming what I thought, It really does not make sense to put tagine in the oven with conical top. At best you will end up getting food that is stewed, braised or steamed but certainly not Tagined (?), the way it should be cooked traditionally.

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.

I rinsed mine fully under warm tap water, patted it dry with paper towels and then dried it slowly in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours. After that I took it straight away and put it into a 750 degree BBQ "oven" and made excellent NY pies on it. Congrats you have a great stone, just remember it needs AT LEAST an hour preheat due to it's extra thick size.

I'm sorry Sheila, I really wish I had as experience as you seem to have had, cooking for a family seems impossible since it cooks small amounts of food at a time. I found nothing juicy, tender nor crispy with the food and believe I tried various foods and temperatures before I returned it. I still feel its total waste of money a convection counter oven does a wonderful job, fast, juicy, crispy food in half the time of a regular oven and cooking spray still offers grease feel food. And takes up less space without all the clear up!

Tom, thank you for your reply. I went to Grazia's website and asked the same question. Hopefully they will email the recipes to me. We'll see. Thanks again.

Hey Ron, I have exposed heating elements and this melted similar to my experience with aluminum foil liners catching on fire. My best experience so far with oven liners is using cookie tins that are large enough to cover the majority of the bottom of the oven.
