Does it work well for baking?

I've never baked with it. If you try, remember that it is very sweet by volume. It is not bulked up with some carrier power like Truvia is with erythritol, a sugar alcohol.The tiny spoon shipped inside is the amount needed to sweeten a cup of coffee. So you'd have to projct from that if you were to experiment

We have done some baking with it. If the recipe calls for 1 cut of sugar, we substitute 1 cup of unsweetened apple sauce and then add the Stevia until we think it is sweet enough. We have not yet figured out how much Stevia to use to equal the sweetness of a cup of sugar in a given recipe. So far...we have done good using the taste method.

I'm not sure how easy the conversion would be, and it might mess up the volume, as the teaspoon equivalent size is something like 1/32 of a tsp. However, it dissolves fantastically well, even in cold liquid, so if you could work it out, I think it would bake great.

It can bake biscuits and cornbread, so it should be able to bake cookies and cakes. I don't bake with sugar, so I haven't tried cookies or cakes.

no, it's oval shaped and there's very few as far as pans or dishes that fit in it. Due to the fact that the food sits quite far from the heat source on top, nothing browns and I don't think that it would be good for baking. Had it not been a gift, I would've returned it.

I have never used it for baking breads or rolls, but I have made cakes in it. They turn out nice and moist. It has an oven setting on it, but I don't really know how you would use it to bake breads because I don't have the big cook book that goes with it. BUT i can tell you this much, I LOVE IT for everything else. I have had mine going on three years now and if it konked out tomorrow, I would have to get another one immediately!

It depends what you are using it for. I make amazing pizza dough and any baked goods( pastry) with this and it always turns out excellent.

I have used it for breads, muffins and cookies. In those instances, the direct substitution worked fine. I'm not sure how it would work for pie crusts or pastries.

I have -- more than once! It worked beautifully. A part of using a pan like this well, I think, is knowing not only the properties of the pan, but the habits of your oven. I use a sort of tired electric stove, and instead of pre-heating oven and pan, I usually oil well, put a little extra flour in the pan before putting the dough in, and let the oven and pan slowly heat together. That means I do end up cooking the bread for, say, closer to 40 minutes than 30, but the results have been delicious. The lid does a good job of helping the crust balance crispness and moisture. One thing to note: the dome on the lid is rather flat, so if your risen dough (even after punching down) does a really BIG second rise while it's cooking, it is going to bump against the lid. The one time that happened to me, it just meant the top was a little indented rather than really round, which doesn't bother me. In any case, it's cooked evenly and tasted great every time I've done it. I'm about to cook a couple of loaves to take with me for the holidays, in fact. :)

Yes, I had no problems with it. I actually bought it as a 2nd mixer. I have a big Kitchen Aide and needed another because I bake so much. I used it quite often until I accidentally knocked the hand held part off the counter and it broke into about 3 pieces. :(

It says on the package that it can be used for baking. I have never done so but have used it as a sweetner for several years now.

it works GREAT for making pie crust, pizza dough,biscuts,pasta dough, but i would not suggest using it for bread dough. i would use a kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, or a bread maker.

Probably. I have used it for baked and frozen treats. I'd recommend making one or two at first to make sure they will pop out intact. You may need to let them set longer than instructions indicate due to the small surface are exposed to the air to allow for complete drying. I have to bake all treats about twice as long as the recipe indicates or the bottoms are still moist.

This a great product for heavy use. I cannot speak to how well it would perform in a heavy commercial application. My wife does a lot of home baking and it has performed very well for that application. We have had no trouble with it at all. She really loves it.

I use it to make regular yeast bread and also many misc. kinds of pound cakes etc.I have had no problems at all. Love the size. : )

I think it can! I used it tons of times for a paleo mug cake (quickly bake in the microwave). I never fully baked with it, but Im sure it would be fine!
