cookie dough Can you bake cookie dough in this oven being that it's a convection

Yes, you can bake anything. It's not just a convection oven. It has a bake setting too, along with broil and rotisserie.

No, I have just used it as a cooling rack, which is how it is described. I think you need a baking rack for baking in an oven. The Breville SmartOven comes with a baking rack, and I think you can order an extra one. I have baked cookies, Irish soda bread and mac & cheese in the oven, but on its baking rack (I cool them on the cooling rack afterwards).

Not sure about cookie dough, but I use this for cake batter and it was fine. The lowest setting is extraordinarily powerful, so I mix the dry and wet mixes together with a spatula a bit before I use this product, because the dry mix might go flying up if your mixing bowl isn't big enough.

I would do like Alice Hager said, make sure that the cookie press is screwed tightly together, the dough is at room temperature. Use the recipe included with the press, I did and it made cookie very easily.

I use this oven a lot! Pies, cupcakes, pizza, enchiladas, quick breads, casseroles, chicken, pork chops - you name it. I use the convection mode for everything because the fan moves the air around, keeps the temperature even (no hot spots) and cooks food evenly. When you're convection baking something that takes more than 30 minutes, lower the temperature 25 degrees. Whatever you're baking will probably be done at the longer end of the recipe's suggested bake time. For example, if a recipe says "bake 50-60 minutes" expect it to take 60.

A manual comes with the oven. You can find out what cookware you can use with a convection oven off the net. Try to Goggle it.

No, it has: slow bake, broil, keep warm, bake, toast and panini. My wife used to use convection on our old toaster oven but doesn't seem to miss it on this one.

My oven is not convection, but the heating element is on the bottom, tho not hidden. I simply lifted up the element, and put the liner on the bottom and have used the oven repeatedly and the liner is fine. Sorry I could not be of more help. Maybe you could contact customer service of your oven manufacturer and see what they recommend.

I haven't tried it yet on the convection oven but just with the regular oven and it's ok. Maybe you can try it and give a few minutes extra. Happy eating.

Hello,Yes - I agree with the previous answer as well but make sure that you get a good imprint to do so and that you refrigerate your cookies before you bake them. That way the cookie will hold its shape better - I also bake my sugar cookies at a little higher temperature to avoid distortion of the imprint (355 to 360 in a convection oven - not as high in a regular oven). I loved this type of cutter the best! Similar to the Star Wars imprint cookie cutters. I hope this helps - enjoy!

No. As K. Lee said it's basically a convection oven, but with a high powered blower. A friend bought one after seeing mine work.

Yes you can. But let it heat up first before putting your dough or pizza to prevent sticking.

Although I don't have a microwave convection oven, I don't think this pan can be used to bake cookies. It's mainly a crisper pan for making nicely browned bacon, sausage patties, frozen chicken nuggets, and frozen pizza or reheating leftover pizza. It's not for baking. You first get the pan hot for 3 minutes in the microwave then add whatever you're cooking so it gets a nice, brown crust. You can toast nuts nicely in about 3-4 minutes; reheat pizza in 1-2 minutes, cook a thin-crust frozen pizza in 8-10 minutes.

I am not sure, but if you can give me the dimensions of the cookie sheet I can check for you on Thursday! It IS definitely a bigger counter top convection oven. I would suggest google dimensions of the unit you should find inside dimensions somewhere, then see if your cookie sheet will fit.

Yes, you can. The tray that comes with the oven is slightly larger than 9 x 11 inches and the interior of the oven is pretty spacious. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and have used it several times already. I do find that I have to cook/bake things longer than in a normal oven. I like it a lot. Hope this helps!

That's an interesting idea but I'm not sure. Cookie dough might be too dense a batter to bake all the way through. You may want to contact the manufacturer or check their website. :)

Not if it's mostly cloudy. It really needs to be mostly sunny. If it's really hot out, a few clouds won't hurt. Otherwise, it tends to cool off under the clouds. That said, I have used the oven in the winter on a calm, sunny day when it's 30 degrees out!
