Thanks! when the advice comes from someone who faced the same issues it registers faster. Puff pastry on the upper rack baked awesome. Baking cake had a problem as my pan height was more and I could not view through glass door how it baked. I then tried baking on the middle rack. A black tray which came along this oven was lying pretty useless. I placed this below the middle rack and this time the cake browned evenly. I am now confused about 2 things. 1. Why is placing a pan below has such a effect? 2. Where should I place my oven thermometer, dangle from the rack or on top of it?
This was not cheap for me. I paid 41K(INR) when the same size electric version was 29K(INR). The reason for my choice was that in India we have frequent power cuts but I was not prepared for the challenges. Its 2 years since I bought and the first year was spent in complaining to the company as it has other issues too like, you have to keep the start button pressed till it reaches 100 deg C or it switches off. :(
Does this means even if I bake on the top shelf I place a pan on the shelf below or is this for only when I bake in the middle? What if I am using a bundt pan then that won't fit in the top shelf?
