What I'm doing today...

[susandennis]

I've been doing all of my baking in my Ninja oven. I have the same love/hate relationship with mine that letmesaythis has with hers.

I have an oven/microwave combo over the stove. It's great for some stuff but not for baking. I have a regular giant oven which is great for baking but it's used for storage and NFW am I heating that huge thing up. So Ninja.

But, you know what? It does pretty darned good. My batches are small. It heats up really really quickly. And has precise timing and temperature readouts.

It got a little carried away with a batch of cookies today...



These are not chocolate.

I didn't make any new bakery stuff today. I tried various iterations of the dough I made yesterday. I added more flour to some, more heat to other, some thin, some thick. The dough is not something I'll make again but I'm learning about stuff and they are very edible.

Also I'm still working my temperature blanket. Here it is Jan 1-April 8. The outside of each square is the high temperature of the day and the inside, the low temperature of that same day. (I'm putting a navy square in between each month.) It's great fun to work on.

I love your temperature blanket.

I'd eat those cookies, I like them well done (maybe not quite as well done as the bottom duck but I'd still eat it). Most things aren't browned enough for my taste

I'm totally with you on the well done — that's how these went too far :)

I baked a pan of cornbread in the Ninja last night and it, very much to my surprise, came out perfect. Sorry about that batch of not-chocolate cookies.

Those cookies cannot be blamed on the Ninja. It has baked everything else perfectly. I smurk at recipes that say to preheat the oven before you even start. ha. not my Ninja!
