Question

Carole Antoniono

Do you adjust the temperature and time when using your counter-top oven?

Answer

Carol it bakes just like from what I've seen it makes just like a standard oven when I have it on convection mode. Yes, and I cut the temperature back and the time back. As I would in a standard oven but I am so happy with that oven Chef Char was teaching at a library with something called the Charlie cart. And this particular oven was on the Charlie cart. It bakes just like an oven.
