After h...Hi HHB,<br />Thanks for responding my queries. <br />After hearing from you, I plan to buy an oven thermometer too. May I know where the right spot to put it in the oven is? Should it remove it after the pre-heat is done or leave it inside to continue monitoring the temperature throughout the whole baking time? If the oven's temperature is lower than the thermometer, should I increase my oven temperature accordingly or extend the baking time? <br /><br />Tks,<br />CFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-10229515003393523882011-04-29T06:36:37.744+08:002011-04-29T06:36:37.744+08:00Hi CF, I place the enamel tray at the lowest rack...Hi CF, I place the enamel tray at the lowest rack position, and the wire rack at position 2 counting from the top.

So do I need to lay a piece of baking paper on the enamel tray? <br /><br />Thanks for your tips for preventing oil splatter. Good that you let me know this.<br /><br />I did not buy the oven thermometer. You mean I cannot rely on the oven pre-heat sign? Once the temperature sign go off, that is the stage where pre-heat is ready right?<br />Tks,<br />CFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-61663729447494941042011-04-28T06:49:28.701+08:002011-04-28T06:49:28.701+08:00CF, I use the wire rack and the enamel tray (the d...CF, I use the wire rack and the enamel tray (the drip tray). I place a baking tray on the wire rack, and place the pizza or cookies directly on the drip tray. I select the 3D hot air function, that is the one with the fan. I won't buy any wire rack as I don't need to use two trays frequently.<br /><br />For the pizza, do not use the grill function, it is too hot. The grill function is more for grilling or roasting of meat, and what temperature did you select? (Do note that if you were to roast a chicken, the oil will splatter...mine got oil stains at the side walls, cant remove it...so sad....but luckily it is black so the stain is not so obvious. I have since came up with a way to reduce the oil splatter...I line the sides of my roasting pan with alum foil...to create 'four walls' so the oil doesnt 'fly' all over.)<br /><br />I use the top-and-bottom heat (without the fan) for baking this short-cut pizza. I set the temperature to 200degC. It should be ready in less than 10mins. I position the wire rack at the 2nd level(count from bottom). I use this rack position for baking cakes. Do you have an oven thermometer? It is better to use one so that you know you have pre-heated the oven to the right temperature. Hope this helps :)Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-58335109316223727532011-04-27T17:15:36.660+08:002011-04-27T17:15:36.660+08:00Hi HHB,

I followed the user manual, put the bread (on an aluminium tray) on the wire shelf, turned to gill function (III). Less than 3mins the top part of the pizza burned but the bread did not turn crispy.

For baking of one level of cookies, I usually put the baking tray on the wire shelf. So for two layers of baking, how you position the baking tray? Do I need to buy another wire shelf or I can just use the enamel baking tray? <br />Tks.<br />CFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-30487033204911907802011-04-24T19:52:36.520+08:002011-04-24T19:52:36.520+08:00Now look at what you’ve done … you have me serious...Now look at what you’ve done … you have me seriously craving for a piece of thisOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001867448160391389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-30759348548923082202011-04-22T05:20:27.277+08:002011-04-22T05:20:27.277+08:00Thanks for sharing the idea of using focacca bread...Thanks for sharing the idea of using focacca bread for the pizza crust.

Here's my review based on what I have baked so far:<br /><br />My previous oven is a small 20-litre tabletop tefal...there is only top heat, no other function. My review here is based on using it as a point of reference. The Bosch oven has got more functions (compared to my old tabletop)...I tried baking cookies on two trays, using the 3D hot air function they were browned evenly...at least I dont have to turn the tray around half way into baking. I made two pizzas on separate racks, both browned/cooked at the same time too (even the one at the bottom was evenly cooked). The oven temperature is quite stable...unlike my previous one...which could drop by 20degC after I put in the cake. I tried roasting a chicken, it takes about 50mins to get nicely browned, whereas my previous one could take 1.5hrs. But, it was a tedious job trying to clean the oven after roasting as you need to clean the oil stains at the side walls, since it doesnt come with self cleaning function. Do note that my Bosch oven is the cheapest, most basic range, if budget is not a constraint, you may want to take a look at higher range ovens. Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-82670732906007871062011-04-21T09:49:16.379+08:002011-04-21T09:49:16.379+08:00Orange juice, your boy must be playing very hard d...Orange juice, your boy must be playing very hard during recess...just like mine ;)<br /><br />Christine, thanks for following my blog, I hope I didn't disappoint you with the recipes I posted here :)<br /><br />Thanks shaz for sharing your recipe!
