How is this oven for cakes baking?

So far, works very well; I find if a recipe calls for baking at 350, 325 would do. You could always add an extra 5 minute to baking time, if necessary.

No, it's not. It's a countertop oven, toasts, broils, heats leftover pizza well, melts cheese. Toast is good @ #5 for 2 slices, turn over and finish if you like it evenly toasted. Top heat bar heats, bottom bars heat, and some settings cycle thru both. I was a little disappt'ed at first, but after a week, I really liked it. My only irritation is that toast takes a little monitoring to get it "just right!"

I have this oven for about ten years, and have had absolutely no problems at all. Cooked many meals for family of 5 when my oven broke, and now use it when I don't want to heat a big oven for a small meal or little snacks. I don't use the rotisserie feature. Fabulous oven...great value for the price!

I returned mine because the timer does not work, it's stuck and it won't move at all so I bought another one - Sunpentown, super turbo oven, so2000. I bake cake in mine using metal pans. But it's easy to burn it so start with low temp setting and keep watching it until you get the hang of it. Hope this helps.

It bakes. I used the recipe for the chocolate cake from the enclosed cookbook and my family loved it, very moist. Though there are special pans you can get, small regular pans worked fine. I used an 8x8 aluminum pan. A muffin tin that holds six muffins fits as well.

Yes. We were replacing a broken kenmore one, which we had a custom made cabinet for. A replacement was very hard to find. It is actually a microwave / pizza oven. I have seen it misrepresented as a microwave / baking oven in some ads. It will handle small frozen items like chicken nuggets and works very well for pizzas. I would not use it for baking.

Yes to all. Do not over think this device. It is an oven. Quick heating. Compact. User-friendly controls. You'll like it. If not, return it. Higher price at retail stores. I found best price here.

According to my wife it handles frosting quite easily.....also handles heavy dough very well...it is a workhorse at 800 watts.

We haven't used ours to much as we just purchased it, and it is in our vacation home. I think your question might be answered by checking the specs on the info page. It does work very well, and looks great. It would not be suitable for broiling a whole chicken...maybe a half on it's side. I've never baked a cake in any oven! :)

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Conventional/convection oven safe, yes. Not microwave oven safe. People sometimes bake cakes in steel mixing bowls.

I did not use the pan to make cakes. I used the pans to make Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread is different from cake batter, but I set he oven for 350 degrees and 20 minutes. The Monkey Bread came out perfect.

I've used this oven, in convection mode, to bake rhubarb, strawberry-rhubarb, pumpkin, sweet potato and pecan pies. Each one turned out just as well - if not better than - pies made in my big oven. Lower the temperature 25 degrees in convection mode, and expect your pie to take the high end of the recipe's bake time. For example, if your recipe says "bake 50-60 minutes" expect your pie to take the full 60.

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. :)

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

I've placed mine on the top rack and its still like new. I think it's rather heat proof. I've used mine for whipping 250 degree cake icing!

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. :(
